Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I'd store it all. Just make sure the salt is sealed up good and tight....it's hygroscopic and likes to pick up moisture, and it it does, it will turn into a brick. With the GFO, again, make sure it's sealed up.....most are sold wet for a reason. Carbon is indestructible short of it...
If acrylic, I think it's fair to say that @Timkatz71 is an expert. Hopefully he'll have something to say considering he polished out a 600+ gallon tank.
Wow! What the oogly boogly is going on? If they're spawning, you're going to have millions of stomatella. I've never seen that before. What's you're ORP doing? I would think that would drive it down???
Sunny, I don't think he'll have close to the needed flow.....a dribble. MAG's are not pressure pumps. I have a MAG 18 in a 55 gallon drum to empty it, and it struggles to go maybe 5 feet or so.
Here's my thoughts.....if you're going to keep the back and side glass clean, black or blue work. However, if you're going to let coraline grow and cover it, I think black would blend in better with the glass being covered. I think blue patches would stick out more. JMTC
I can see it now.....

Suggest Googling "MACNA 2016 Dana Riddle" and watch his talk about light, flow and alkalinity.
Best of luck!
Joe, I know you've probably already stated it on other posts, but my pea-brain can't remember.....what BP reactor are you running and how much BP's in there?
I think what I'd try first is reducing the amount of BP's.
I like your thinking. I've kicked around the idea of automating my water changes, but haven't committed because of lack of water supply and waste dumping close by. My interest was solely convenience. Note that you can't maintain alk and calc by water changes alone in an established tank...
