Interesting stocking of fish. I love it. I don't know how I have missed clicking on this thread, but it was definitely worth the read! Can't wait for it all to mature.

I had saw the twin Nu Clear pics you had. I had never seen them before so had to research it. Seems like they are multi-purpose? Do you run it just like a canister filter? or with carbon or what? So there are filters inside similar to sock filters? How often do you replace them out?

thanks.

hey bud...the overflow falls into the twin 7 by 14, 200 micron socks...then goes thru the fuge..then into the nuclears...the nuclears each have twin, 200 micron carts in them...each cart is 8 inches tall and about the same wide...then the water returns to the tank...they are plumbed thru the system and not run like canisters...they have their own external pump...bleach them every 4 weeks or so...

130 pounds od Marco dry just arrived...in prep for the Outrigger...

 

[geaux xman]

Yeah man, the hurricane/tropical storm is going right thru my town. Its not all that bad, just a lot of heavy rain and wind. I've been lucky not to have any electricity outage. I'm with the hospital staff, so I'm stuck at work.

Any FTS pics of the whole tank from end to end including part of the stand?

You will love your P3! Just make sure it is away from humidity and moisture and it will last forever. I mounted mine in an old jbj nano cabnit that sits next to my tank. I will be curios to hear your reviews on the touch.

Can you take a picture of the rock you just got? I'm curious to see what it looks like in terms of sizes of the pieces.

 

[humaguy]
