TheRope Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 This equates to around 25-30% w.c in my reef. I made my life easy by figuring out exactly how much salt is necessary to reach 1.026 at the line I marked so I don't waste time each waterchange trying to get the right salinity 3 Quote Link to comment

Not at all just random ones I found at the home improvement store, they'll be getting water from evap and feom my top offs Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That looks awesome. Others with air plants have mentioned they also spray with fresh water to keep salt off them. Is that what you meant by top offs? 1 Quote Link to comment

Nope I have the tiniest heater hiding in the back! Ill find the model for you. Yeah the airplants will be cool, if I can keep them alive... My green thumb is verrrry bad especially compared to my... Coral thumb? Edit: the heatwr is an aqueon 10 w plugged into an inkbird thermostat 4 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Seems like the heater is hidden pretty good. I have never really noticed it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Break Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Damn, nice work hiding both the pump and heater! I would love to set something like this up myself focusing on florida ricordea or rock nems, but for now I'll just have to live vicariously through this awesome build! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully this will do until you set one up 😂😂 I've just realized that my pump may eventially leech rust/copper as it wasnt made for s.w so I'm gonna be upgrading to the hydor pico 180 gph pump Quote Link to comment
