Mr. Lovestrong Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 that is a particularly nice looking setup. do the redsea units already have the sump plumbed? or is that your handi-work? looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks man, I hope it will work good as well. 8 hours ago, Mr. Lovestrong said: that is a particularly nice looking setup. do the redsea units already have the sump plumbed? or is that your handi-work? looks great. Thanks. The red one is mine, because by default they don't have a refugium. But they're sold with all the needed plumbing. It is very nice and clean I've decided not to change it. Just added what I need. Quote Link to comment

I didn't make anything crazy. Stand and tank plumbing is from the Reefer 250 by default. I've just drilled that small tank ( click here ) and build a small stand for it on the right from the sump, then connected it to the sump with two 1" RED SCHEDULE 40 PIPE and attached a Kessil H380 Halo II over it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, what is cool it is removing no3 very quick at this moment. Wondering if it will work the same when the tank is at full speed. 1 Quote Link to comment

Berlibee Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nice! I like this one as well: I'm still playing with it, need to find the right flow. Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Chaeto is crazy, that small ball growing so fast and no3 dropped from 25ppm to 5ppm in a fews days .... 3 Quote Link to comment
