After redoing the tank I took out a lot of rocks. It's 100 plus pounds. $1.50 a pound or take all for $100.
It's been on my deck for a week now. Most of it was Marco rock.
This is a home made tank that a reefer gave me years ago. It holds water and worked fine for years. But I will say it is free as is and I'm not responsible for any floods in your house. It is reef ready and has a bulk head on the side. It's about 75 gallons or so.

Anyone want to attempt this. I'll buy the stuff that's needed.
Redfish this one looks right up your alley.
The New prime skimmer lines don't use Bubble Blasters any more. They use Aquatrance pumps by Reef Octopus.

For those that use dosing pumps I'm trying to understand how this all works. I've been watching the bulk reef suppy videos and using the calculator they have on the website.
For Calcium
Total water volume 460 Gallons
Current value 400 ppm
Desired value 420 ppm

Phosphate is .03 for probably the first time ever. I guess a 200 gallon plus water change can do that. Cal 400 alk is 7.3. Looking good so far. Been reading up on dosing pumps. Leaning towards two Bulk reef supply dosing pumps.
Thank god for the waste collection auto shut off on my reef...
It is a strange design. The dude I got the sump from 7 years ago set it up like that. We debated changing it today. But figured if it ain't broke don't fix it. We moved the sump out from under the stand to make it easy to do maintenance. That and all the leaks from my bad plumbing over the years.
Made some great progress today. Ethan is a real pro at this. Highly recommend him. Aquascape turn out great. Will post pics of that I'm the morning.
Back for more fun tomorrow
