    300 gallon mixed reef

    3 week update I have been really busy doing some plumbing expansions and wiring new curcuit. I have just let things run their course. I am still waiting for some sort of a "Bloom". No coaralline growth yet - maybe that is good so that I don't have to get going on the scraping!!!! Hopefully...

    Ok you bare bottom people, what are you keeping ?

    Curt, Just curious on the 6 line. I have one that I have had for two and a half years in my old 120 gallon and it seemed to do okay. I may be missing something. Thanks

    Calcium Reactor Media (South Sound)

    Thanks Don, The photo helps a whole lot. Now I just got an idea about a kent ro/di unit. I am wondering if I could use it somehow to do the same. A double chamber with the top chamber empty. I could throw in rowa in one and the carbon in the second. It is an unused unit that I may rig to...

    Calcium Reactor Media (South Sound)

    I have rowaphos in my sump just before the return line to the main tank. Should I split it up maybe to somehow let the eff. flow over or through the mesh? I know they have the different chambers and that might be the way to go. Has anyone ever made a DIY type chamber? I could be easy enough...

    Calcium Reactor Media (South Sound)

    I wondered if anyone knows where I may find Korallin or another great quality media in the Tacoma or South sound area. Both LFS have only the caribsea type. I am really trying to keep down the Phosphates. thanks.
