RollaJase Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Tank is looking great, really nice job . 1 Quote Link to comment
jtgrimes Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I like it. I would suggest to get some type of plastic screening to put over it. I put one on mine, and can take a pic of what I mean. You don't want a snail or something getting in there and clogging your overflow. Thinking about doing the 90 degree overflow also, how do you like it? Thank you!

jtgrimes Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Going to make some more room in my sump/refugium. So I am replacing my current BRS Reactor with this little guy by innovative marine. 2 Quote Link to comment

jtgrimes Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 So far so good. Compact and takes up less room than BRS or others. Tumbles better than my BRS too. Very easy to install, less hassle during rinsing process. Very happy with it. Let me know how it works out! I've been on the fence about it Quote Link to comment
jtgrimes Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 There are also a few for sale in the forums. Im thinking about picking up another one to run my carbon. Right now I currently have in a media bag. Let me know how it works out! I've been on the fence about it Quote Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 There are also a few for sale in the forums. Im thinking about picking up another one to run my carbon. Right now I currently have in a media bag. Nice. I'm actually switching away from my current BRS dual reactor. I'm only running an MJ1200 and it's just not working very well. Switching to a single BRS reactor and I'm going to run both carbon and GFO in there at once. [Edit] So do you think it's better to tumble GFO and then carbon in a bag? As opposed to running them both mixed together in the reactor but obviously not tumbling. Quote Link to comment

jtgrimes Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Picked up a Royal Gramma last night from a local, that was breaking down his tank. Final fish to the 20 I believe. Will certainly be taking more picture updates soon as well as a video. Quote Link to comment

jtgrimes Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hope everyone is doing well. Soon, very soon I plan to have some updates. Been really busy with work and family. But the tank is doing great and cant wait to post some updates. 1 Quote Link to comment
capture Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Following along here. Great build. Love the Talenti containers for dosing. That stuff is good. I'm not allowed to have it in the house. I eat it all. However, now I can tell the wifey to get some so I can use it for the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

uwdanno Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just saw your post in the "Kessil Club". 90% intensity! I'm maxing out at 75% for only a couple hours - I've been debating going up to 75% for the majority of my light cycle. I'll have to go through your thread again to see what 90%'s done for you.

Yeah, Ive gone up in intensity very slowly, and backed down my color slowly as well. I will be posting pics here and on there before and after. 1 Quote Link to comment
