Welcome Michael!

here’s the new right side manifold mounted properly. Even before I set up the right side, the old manifold that was reused as left side has a ton of increased flow. Increasing the pump to manifold Pipe to 1.5 really made a huge difference. here’s the scrubber, 5 days running, 2 with the...

in the long run it’s going to do what it wants....

Put it in a rope, wear it around your neck and spit mad rhymes.

That’s gonna be one dead paly...

Well those lights are getting replaced. When you cycle the power the default position is off. I can’t use with apex. I found a few good options on amazon, but ended up going with two Chaetomax leds from brs since they can be here much faster.

Nice, you’re gonna love those

Algae scrubber is up and running. Still gotta get a quick release, even though it’s the soft silicone hose the small diameter is a pain to get off.

That’s a great looking tank!

that thing is so pretty, it looked like a goner. The skeleton was sticking through the flesh in 25-30 places over both heads. Today you’d never know by looking at it.

If you can’t find something, brs sells them now.

They’re such pretty fish, what a shame you have to get rid of it.

Moved the original manifold and installed it off the left side of the feed pipe. I temporarily hung the right manifold, but haven’t connected it. I added the gfo reactor and took out the pump that was feeding it. Everything from the original plumbing is running aside from the carbon and the...

I’ve always had luck with reef cleaners for snails and hermits. Mysaltwaterfishstore.com for Bulk peppermints (among other stuff).

All good bro, this is just for expansion. The issue I had last weekend was a huge peroxide overdose from a malfunction of my oxydator (which I didn’t think was possible).

Thx pal

Most everything is ok. 80% of my sps bleached or grey/browned out. Even the alien eye and Hollywood stunner look terrible. Zoas and palys came right back. Euphyllia too, in fact they were the first to open again (this had me sweating). Some things really surprised me. I have this lobo...

@Paulie 069 This article is a bit dated, but it’s a very good read to help understand scrubbers. This is the guy begins turbo aquatics, I followed along well over a decade ago (Jeez maybe 16/16 years) as he discussed this on RC, to build my first scrubber...

My goal is to stop finding reasons to add tanks, or algae scrubbers, or reactors, or whatever. lol

Thread tape works, you don't need much with PVC. Most of the time I find I don't need it. If it's an extremely small leak, I'll let salt creep handle it. The fish room floor doesn't care when it gets wet. :)
