Welcome aboard. Are you using an RO/DI unit to make your water? I think if I were you I'd just do a re-start.

He said it was Seachem Reef Salt.

Looks good John. I think I'd install a union on the top of the pump, and then add the ball valve on top of that. That was if there are any leaks around the ball valve, they will be into the sump, and not take out your power strip.

How did you transition into the new salt mix?

As Brian said, it would be best in a single reactor. If you decide to try the dual, you would have to leave the first chamber empty(including the insert) and have a strong enough pump to cause the pellets to tumble, and you'd have to get a bio-pellet insert for that chamber. I started out using...

For two 1" overflow's that would be fine. Will this be set up as a peninsula?

The amount of flow that is considered "safe" through a 1" bulkhead is 600 gph, but I know I'm doing around 700 without a problem. I have two overflow's with Mag 9's for the two returns.

+1 These would be right in your price range, and with the dimming allow flexibility for additional growth when/if you decide to add some more photo sensitive species. I'd figure on two over a 48" tank.

Once they are out of your etching solution, I give them a good hosing off, or better yet use a power washer.

Thank you Anthony and Terri. Lynn and I had a great time. Thanks to all who contributed to help make it the success that it was. It was nice to finally put some faces on some screen names. And thank you Mike, for those great frag's.

Here is a good method: http://successfulreefkeeping.com/learn/salinity-mixing-saltwater/ The only thing I do that is a little out of sequence, is add the heater to the RO/DI water and get it to temperature, before I add the salt mix.

Reef Crystals. Never had a problem, best bang for the buck.

Here is a record of the consumption of pellets over a four month period: Current: April:

My measurement wasn't in inches, I was referring to the squares. It's about 2" x 3/4", so it's probably proportional.

Yea, Jim got a real bargain on that one. You don't see many deals like that.

Here is a picture of the piece I just got. I asked for a double frag. That's just normal egg crate, so it's about 3 x 1 square.

If they are the mega flow type overflow chambers, I'm pushing about 700gph in each with 2 Mag 9's, one for each overflow, with no problem.

No. Ocean Aquarium is in Egg Harbor Township, but that's all there is.
