    Sump design

    in Tank Builds

    Posted

    I think I may have found a fluval5 and 2.5 gal cube to try to fit together this way. Much better idea than having a custom one built. That’s way more $ than I’d like to spend

    No idea. But I talked to a couple ppl today and they said a sump like this will be twice or more what another custom sump would be! [emoji27]. e3dac9641573e1902950171ad622aa13.jpg. May jus todo this. 14x21. Lol

    I also transfer a pump from the RO to the salt for water changes. My external one stopped working. If I had to guess, I’d say it seized up bc it wasn’t constantly on.... but I don’t test the containers.

    I don’t want ULN.... too lazy for that kind of reefing. Lol. My tds meter is inline on my RODI. I don’t have a hand held one. Tds going in was 348. Out 12. Now zero after changing all my filters

    I wouldn't chase phosphates if you don't have algae problems. 
    Check out some of the videos / presentations from Richard Ross. 

    I’m definitely not shooting for zero. The only thing in my tank that’s not thriving are my leathers. I’m hoping lowing the nutrients some will fix this

    I haven’t. I recently switched to reef crystals. I’ll check it next time I make some water . I also run gfo/carbon in the tank. I need new sponges for those. The flow isn’t too great.

    I finally got my Hanna reactants and tested yesterday. (I’ve been relying on api), and my PO4 was 1.26!!!! I had to look a few times to make sure it wasnt the timer still counting down [emoji23]. The no3 was 10! I do bi-weekly water changes, have an ATS, and have a MASSIVE external deltec skimmer so I was shocked it could be that high. I expected high, but not that much. So, I checked my tds and it was reading 12!! [emoji37]. So, I wasn’t sure if the tds was causing the super high readings bc it was so high, or if I need to up my nutrient exportation. Nothing is brown and everything is super happy and growing good.
    I did change all the filters and DI. Also added a second DI chamber and now have zero TDS. I also added some phosphate rx to bring it down some. I don’t wanna do anything too drastic bc all my corals are doing good

    Can someone explain the roleTDS plays in relation to PO4 and no3. All I can find online relates to roadways and lakes. Lol. High TDS =high nutrients?

    Looking for an mp40

    I have a 3 month old maxspect gyre 250 with controller I’d like to trade for an mp40. I think the prices are comparable, if not that can be fixed. I just don’t like how the gyres produce flow in my tank.
