175 Gallon bowfront tank, three 250 watt metal halides, one 150 watt metal halide and one 450 Watt Metal halide.
Sump has DIY Denitrator of 200' of drip line running to the Calcium Reactor, protien Skimmer, Ozone into Skimmer, and all top off water is Reverse Osmosis into 3 gal jug with kalk wasser

I stopped by and visited with Wil this afternoon, Great looking tanks and plans for more soon.
Wil is very knowledgable and willing to stop and share his time even though he's in the middle of setting up his shop.
I'll be back...
Ok, set it up today with 200' of 1/4" line as the intake to the Calcium Reactor.
A few weeks to mature and I'll start monitoring the Nitrates as well as the efficiency of the Calcium Reactor.
I had the exact same issue in a three year old tank. I was told that it was the temp of the tank which varied during the day from 75 in the am to 80 when the lights went off. I finally just stopped adding snails. I have recently moved and set my tank up again and plan to add a chiller this...
I guess I go a little heaver on the Co2 than the others. I use about 1 bubble per second and keep the water flow out of the reactor at the same rate. So far no issues.
I have been reading a lot lately about do it yourself DE-Nitrators using varying lengths of 1/4" tubing and allowing tank water to pass through it at a rate of approximately 1 drop per second thus allowing the oxygen to be depleted and natural bacteria to convert the Ammonia to Nitrite then to...
