    How are things going in your DT these days?

    Well I've moved about 50 new frags into it from the frag tank, and begun moving things up onto the rocks in stages.  I've added a bunch of crabs and a sand sifting star too.  The cyano is still there, but I would say its about 75% as bad as it was a month or two ago.  I was siphoning it off weekly, now I  go two weeks before I siphon.    Most of the coral seems to be doing well, but one colony of PC rainbow looks pretty bad, can't explain that one, it had been super happy.  Everthing else looks fine.

    I feed the CaRx off my manifold, which is driven by a dedicated CoralVue Varios DC pump sitting in my sump for the DT, but on my frag tank my manifold is tied to the return pump with is a Vectra M1.   I use essentially the same method in both tanks.  The recirc pumps are the standard eheim that comes with the geo.  The filter is on the effluent line between the CaRx and the effluent valve.  All I do is adjust the Ph range of the solenoid to maintain desired Alk.  When the media starts getting low I typically increase the effluent rate which is normally about 70ml/minute.  I'll bring it up to maybe 90 ml/minute.

    It's a personal choice for sure, and I have not tried every option.  For me, the following has worked like a champ.  Only time I fiddle with my needle valve is if I *want* to change it.  I do change the filter each time I add new media.  Realy reall cheap effluent valve, I think it's a two little fishies

    Pick up a fuel filter and run an ac pump/needle valve old school setup. 
    Pro-nearly a free change. Simple. Saves space
    Con-hit or miss if it actually works

    I just need to figure out how to pick up. I will be busy this weekend and I live north. If you want to take me off that's fine.
