SAM

I don't see a check valve in between the pump and the airstone.  Bad Sam.

Filled quarantine today. That airstone is powerful, had to turn it down a bit lol.

What is an "LED PRO power filter" ?????

In process of setting up my 1st ever quarantine tank in my 16yr+ fish hobby lol

Got this on sale from petco, 20% off brand new kit plus a simple metal stand.

This brings back memory since my 1st fish tank that I bought back in 2002 was only a 30gallon hexagon. I was like heck yea, I got a fish tank!!!! Now I'm like is this 29gallon big enough for a quarantine tank!? Lol. How time has changed.

Thinking about putting 2 maroon in the Main Display, gonna choose from these and 2 clownfish in the frag tank.

I'm leaning toward 1 lighting and 1 gold nugget.

Got a rendering for the sump.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

So after many nights of debates, thoughts, and planning for the future long term, I've decided to invest in a new custom sump built for handling high flow(4k gph+), silence configuration(skimmer in the right place!), my oversized algae scrubber(see pic below, ~24x8x12h) which will sit ~4in into the sump on a stand for easy cleaning, large live rock zone for pods, 4 filter sock holders, and an customized red, blue, white color scheme lol!!!!! Best of yet, should be done building and shipped to me in ~3-5wks. I've also attached couple very similar designs from the same company to my sump's configuration and style in different colors for references.

Ok got all lights installed. Parameters looks good, AB+ program.

Only thing left is MP40WQD installation, algae scrubber, and dailing in Ca reactor.

Still trying to get rid of the last 2% micro bubbles. The flow in the sump is just too fast.....I guess reeflo barracuda is just way too powerful. Plus my sump is a really poor design, no separation between skimmer and return section. Very short distance in all the baffles.....just can't handle high flow.

Thinking about trying some filter floss and/or sock to slow flow and catch micro bubbles. I have already turn down the flow from the return like a lot already.

On the other hand, my wife does not mind the bubbles lol

Ok, finally got the reef link to work after hours of frustration, it took several reboot to get the setup app installed properly.  Then it took 5 x refreshes to find the wifi which has full connective strength.  It took another 8 refreshes and searches to find all my Radions from Gen 2 to 4pro.  It took several refreshes to get each radion to program successfully.  What a pain this was.  I'll say this was way harder than any router/modem/google home/amazon fire/ even old sony PS2 hooking it online!?!?  One would think Ecotech as a brand name would produce something a bit smoother in these area.  

I'll say reef link has got to be one of the most frustrating little device ever.  I follow the instruction to download the setup -->give me error on can't download certain file.  Then I manually download that reef link application setup file and when I ran it, you guess it, more error......It won't download.  I have tried this on my on PC, my wife's Mac, my laptop...what a joke and waste of time.  Then I went the backdoor route and went through Ecosmart live connect where I booted that and then right click on the icon at the window tray at the bottom right corner and manually install the reeflink and their website download speed is so slow that it took 20mins!?!?  I can download a 4 to 6g movie file in less than couple mins.  Then the installation was complete but then again I have to go through the backdoor to try to connect my reeflink to WIFI.  You guessed it, it doesn't work.  It get stucks on the WIFI search list....no available WIFI names pop up at all.  Can't get any further today.  Send in a ticket via email already since their phone line is only for M-F 9-4 Eastern time <--I'm at work.  There's no way I can bring my reeflink to work and try to problem solve this via phone with them while treating a patient lol.  

I mean its a simple thing, a simple download.  Never had this much issue downloading a setup.exe with any program out there.  Never had this much issue running a setup.exe or having a device search for a WIFI.....yea I usually might have WIFI connection issue with poor product but never searching part?  This is ridiculous!!  I'm gonna take a break for today and wait to see what Ecotech email me back.  

You need big frags holding down those frag racks, not rocks.  Just sayin ...

both 6015 sold

thanks, just tweaking to systems now to get rid of the last little but if micro bubbles lol.

Wow...everything is looking great!

this week, the tank has pretty much done cycled. started to hang lights, seal holes I made in the wall between garage and dining room, and received some pretty useful thing from Melev: autofeeder chimney
also found the Hanna Ca is not very accurate, the phosphate and Alk is ok though. had to go back to red sea titration for the Ca measurement.

Since I upgraded my systems, I no longer need these following equipements. All Tunze equipements have original boxes.   All have being tested to work, other specifics next to each item:

1. Vertex 180I skimmer - $150 OBO

(5 or 6 months total, everything works great but I found the case of the pump (please see pic) having some cracks <--still works, maybe just need to be sealed with silicone or something. ) 

2. Tunze 3155 auto top off, works great but the power supply connection to the controller can be a little finicky<--requires a turn or wiggle..maybe just need to be clean lol   - $75 OBO SOLD

3. Apex Lite(includes display, temp probe, ph probe, Netgear wifi internet adapter - DOES NOT include energy bar) + VDM module - $100 OBO SOLD

4. Tunze 6015 x2 - $10 each

5. Tunze 6095 - $50 OBO Sold

6. Tunze 6105 (older, have to use zip tie to hold case together as you can see in the pic below) - $75 OBO SOLD

7. Tunze 6105 - $100 OBO SOLD

8. Deltec Skimmer (missing top cap) - Free

I'm willing to ship, USPS small box $7, Medium $13, Large $17.  Buyer pays shipping.  I think I can fit most of these in medium boxes except the skimmer (probably will need to use UPS or fedex to ship which I have no idea how much that work cost).  Make me an offer if you want to buy multiple.  I take cash or paypal but you are responsible for the 3% fee if you use credit cards.  You can also text me @ Two 15 Three 80 Six 899.  Thanks for looking.  

yuuuup.  if you set the pump on one of those gardening foam pad things, it'll isolate it even more [emoji4]

so I finally gave in and change the plumbing for the main return.....it was just way too loud with the vibration plus the PVC was like an amplifier lol.....didnt help too much even in the garage. so I added 2 pieces of barbed flex hose to reduce the vibration. I gotta say, it was money well spent. so much better now.
