krackerjacksna Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 You will have to give a mini review on the bubble Magnus curve skimmer. That is the one I am leaning towards for my next build. Love the setup with multiple forms of nutrient export! Link to comment

Love the setup with multiple forms of nutrient export! Thanks. I will sir. It is basically the same as my setup now. 2 fuges. Skimmer. But instead of gfo/carbon/zeolite im gonna give biopellets a try. So ill be selling my tlf150 reactors as well as my custom hob fuge and mini internal 115 skimmer Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Have you thought about doing an ats? they can be amazing if done right. And since you are transferring from an already established tank, I wouldn't add bio pellets. I've read too many times of it crashing tanks. It even happened to my friend! I also feel like they remove too much nutrients that could be going to the coral if you have other things filtering the water too. Ya know what I mean? Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 You walk a thin line when it comes to biopellets - not enough, and it doesn't perform as expected, too much, and you lose your coral. Finding that happy median will take some playing around, but unfortunately usually comes at the cost of losing coral. :/ Link to comment

Finding that happy median will take some playing around, but unfortunately usually comes at the cost of losing coral. :/ Will be going on the underside of things as it is mainly a backup to the double fuges just as carbon/gfo/zeorock was in my current tank because I always halvedy doses. so adverage is 1ml/gallon of display ill be using 37-50ml as water volume will be around 67 gallons. :DNothing wrong with slowly planning your build Word Have you thought about doing an ats? they can be amazing if done right.

Jacob042426 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Algae turf scrubber. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 ATS = algae turf scrubber, although few actually grow turf algae, usually just hair algaes. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I actually did think about it. I have my current hob fuge which is 3x10x16 that I could turn upside down over top of the screening/plumbing spray bar as if it were a spray/creep shield. But I decided against it due to height of the sump and stand and also because I separated the fuges from the sump for a reason this time as ill be blacking out one side of the fuge and sump to minimize algae and other growth in the sump. With that idea it would have drained directly into the sump since the open top would then be open bottom Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like a clean build, looking forward to seeing this complete Christine Link to comment

neuwave Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Not much bud, just exhausted between school and work. First day off in 10 days which equals water change time. Otherwise doing good bud. And just trying to refrain from buying too many goodies for the tank since I plan on upgrading later this year. Link to comment
