That's great, glad to hear.

I haven't noticed anything in the reactor, but I do have the prefilter on the MJ1200. I seems to be working fine, and I'm now considering buying a true biopellet reactor, I'm thinking of the Reef Octopus BR 110.

Here's an idea I use to help eliminate "dead" spots around over flow chambers and provide some circulation behind and through your rockwork, might be a project for some students who might also have some "shop" classes. Take some 3" PVC pipe and 2 3" street wye's and glue them end to end, then...

I'd keep a close eye on the Flame Angel.

Again, looks great. Must be that Cherry Hill water.

If you have the time/patience to invest, I would do all the above. But, since it's not an established system already, you could bypass the final "curing" process, and just introduce it into the new tank and let it all cure together. If you have to do the etching process in small batches, make...

Steve, This is really great rock, but will need some work before you place it in your tank. This rock is very porous and lacey, and as a result, although dried, still contains a lot of dried, dead organic matter. I could see much of this dried matter consists of sponges and brittle/serpent...

Agreed, but then of course it's no longer in 9" or 10" of water.

Seems had to believe that it would be sucking air if it's at 9" or 10" under water.

Probably a little, but it's kind of hard to tell, since it would happen slowly. I imagine that this is something that would vary depending on the individual system.

So far, so good. I'm still only running half ( 1/2 cup) of the recommended amount in a converted BRS reactor. I didn't have a nutrient problem when I started, I just wanted to trade out the fuge type filtration for this, and it seems to be working. At this point I'm not sure that adding the...

Here's a good article: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ichart2mar.htm

That would be a minumum, I might add a couple more as a margin of safety.

How long has the tank been sitting fallow?

Nicely done.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I think you'd be maxed out fish wise for that tank, but I think you'd be fine.

I know that you're supposed to keep it in the dark, but I've had mine running for close to 8 weeks now and it has been hanging on my sump in the light, and the BRS reactor has a clear housing. So, I don't know how important it really is. All my parameters are good, and PO4, NO 2/3, and NH3/4 are...

Looks great Dave, nicely done.

'02 thru '06, always a good rivalry.
