    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    :shock: Holy cr@p Dave!! Let's get this skimmer thing over with so we can cut back on the utility bill! Can't wait to see the new open top tank! Let's get Scott's tank and my tank hooked up so we can remove all of the LR and the other stuff you are holding for us and then work on your system. Ted

    Site Was Hacked Into Last Night

    Mike, I just got back from 2 weeks of scuba diving in micronesia [Paradise] , the stand isn't quite ready and the sump isn't ready. I'm still gathering plumbing parts and a few things are still backordered, but without the stand and sump, nothing much is going to happen. When the stand and...

    Live Rock that Rocks! Here are pictures of some LR I got yesterday. I have 100+ pounds of base rock, 120+ pounds of Walt Smith Show Kaelini and 170+ pounds of Walt Smith Show Tonga Branch. Arriving this week is another approximately 180 pounds of Walt Smith Show Fiji rock. A big thanks to Chris...

    Thanks! I'll unwrap some of the plastic and take a closeup for you. Completely open top (no euro bracing, etc.) is awesome. Thanks. And yes, my 90g is SPS and the 325 will be SPS dominated. See my previous post about the reconfiguration of the stand. Thanks Scooterman. I''ll update as we...

    Stand update While trying to bring the stand concept into existence, we hit a couple of snags. The first snag is the CAD program told Con that the three legs in front needed to be repositioned. The second is that I forgot to account for the doorway that the stand has to fit thru to get into the...

    The tank is in my (converted) office. Most of the equipment and a ~240 gallon sump/refugium will be outside. Outside equipment: Deltec FR509 Fluidized Reactor, Deltec PF600S Calcium Reactor, Deltec AP702 Protein Skimmer and a Sequence Baracuda pump for return. In the fish room: 4 Lumenarc 3...

    Here's a drawing of the stand. The stand is steel. The legs will be skinned and painted to match the tile you see in the picture above.

    All, With a lot of help from Dave Botwin (o2manyfish), Con Magallon (cmagallon), Scott Fellman (algaeguy) and Carlos Basilecki (Pucci on RC), I've started my new reef tank project. As things progress, I'll post and update. The tank is acrylic with a powder coated steel frame on the top. This...

    Silicate removal

    Boomer, I tested my tap water and fresh RO/DI water. I make up my SW from the RO/DI. My point is I don't think silicates are getting into my tank AND plain old RO/DI units remove silicates. I will read up anyway! Ted

    Sorry about that...fixed, I think! Rule 1) Don't post without your glasses Rule 2) Don't post while eating dinner Rule 3) Don't even think about posting while ignoring rules 1 and 2 at the same time! Ted

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Did we move to Seattle? This is getting ridiculous! It started raining at 4:00am and hasn't stopped. At least it finally slowed in the last 2 hours. I took some pics at Dave's last night (in the rain). I'll post them later. Dave put a canopy/tent over the test bed. With the wind we had today...

    Silicate removal

    I have had problems with cyano and some other funky brown blooms. I have heard suggestions about phosphates and silicates. So I finally bought the Salifert kits. Well today, I tested my water for silicates. I got the following measurements using the Salifert Silicate test kit: Tap water...
