Nice tank Interesting approach on maintaining cal/alk, daily WC's :eek2: I dont think I'd be able to do it. Have you thought about going to 2-part? Could be substantially easier/cheaper. Peace_

For me it is simpler to just mix up 5 gallons and change a gallon every other day. Not to mention it lowers nitrate.

Yeah, I totally looked past the no filtration part of the system. I guess you need some way to export nutrients.

Post some pics when that danae colors up! Thats a seriously big chunk(s) you have there

but there's live rock isnt there? That would be the filtration..imo you prolly dont need to do so many water changes unless you really are having a hard time keeping nitrates down...and if you are,then there is probably another problem.

The LR would be the bio-filtration for denitrification, however, I was referring to mechanical filtration. If he is feeding his tank, which he probably is, then you need some way to remove the waste, al la-->filters, skimmers or WC's.

But I agree, I think daily WC's are unneccesary. And you're right, if they are, the something is the issue.

I'm not doing DAILY wc, every other day. I suppose I could cut back more though.

Hey cody also a local FRAG member! tank look great, hope to see you around!

 

[JC VT]

That looks amazing

 

[wea747]

Very nice, but yeah I'd be way to lazy for those kinda water changes. I'd rather just plumb in a sump and skimmer. But to each there own. Keep us posted.

 

[sir_dudeguy]

sorry to bring this back up...but isnt that why we have clean up crews? I run no skimmer or filter (other than 50 lbs LR and tons of flow) in my 40 and theres no "waste" and other stuff that needs to be filtered out. The cleanup crew takes care of that

I've been following your tank. Any updates pics?
