Not necessarily, you could use a second pump to deal with the extra items. Note that extra equipment is not mandatory to run a successful reef tank. But if your going for simplicity, just plumb your overflow to your sump, run a skimmer and some chaeto in your center chamber, if space allows for it

You can use tubing if that’s what you can afford to do but I would suggest getting braided tubing. Regular vinyl can kink and cause issues. PVC will work too, just a matter of preference. Just remember to add unions and valves for when you dissemble for maintenance or add on-s

Both are good skimmers and should work for you set up. I think it would just come down to budget. There are less expensive units out there that can be just as effective. @MarineDepot has a bubble Magnus on sale and it should work great on your system...

Thanx John We still need a couple of folks for Friday. At least 2 more

It’s the 23rd n 24th for the actual event. We’re needed Friday for the set up as well

Gotcha, looks good! Now the fun part.... the waiting game

That purple rock, is/was it live?

If you're on a tight budget, you can get more bang for your buck going with a RKL

I have a Jr. Model with an extra EB8 and it works perfectly. The newer unit is a better buy if you have the means to purchase one.

Monday bump, still could use some extra hands. Free entry for those who participate! Respond to this thread if interested.

How long has it been on your tank?

That’s steep, are your corals dying? If not I’d re-check your test kits You’ll need to add small amounts daily to bump it back up. All at once will shock the livestock

The sodium bicarbonate should be all you need to add to bump up the Alk. What number are you shooting for? You can also change salt mixes to keep that magic number higher

Congratulations.......again lol

Remove the aerator on your faucet and screw in your intake line for your RO. Run the waste line down your drain You can add it directly to your tank and add salt to it. Normally its around 1/2 cup salt per gallon of fresh water

they have buddy units you can look into https://www.marinedepot.com/Aquatic_Life_Twist_In_100_GPD_4_Stage_RO_DI_System_RO_DI_System-AquaticLife-AK01371-FIRORD-vi.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw3cPYBRB7EiwAsrc-uVvDqVgPMJ8MaD0Dtf8X3qV98OCH6R_rHE02vvzHIA2_sjdnKC4T5RoCB94QAvD_BwE

I'm not sure, I don't go there that often but I do know they are pricey. you should be shooting for "0" TDS using a RO unit. Using Tap+Prime Im not sure as I have never used the stuff. I would Imagine that anything above 1TDS may be pushing it

Some folks have used tap water and Seachem Prime to de-chlorinate and have gotten by with using tap water. I wouldn't but it can be done SeaLevel Aquarium and Absolutely Fish are probably the closest LFS I can think of to Bloomfield.
