GET OFF MY LAWN
Amazing, cannot wait until I get to go large. Will do a 180 or 240 as well. My 90 is great but I would love a larger tank!

Not really...I didn't think the small diatom bloom would be of interest to you guys. The 3 Allen's Damsels are doing well, and the emerald crab shows himself every couple days now. I think I'll be looking into the 1st half of my clean up crew soon though before anymore equipment purchases.
With all of the awesome coral specimens you have in your 90 imagine seeing that in a larger display:spin2:
You are one of the few fellow hobbyists that I'd like to get some stuff from when it comes to coral. You ought to come by sometime and give me some ideas!

Well 2 of the damsels got stuck to the Tunze's and perished about a week ago...not sure how
Today I added the beginnings of my cuc...some Trochus, Margarita Astea and Turbo's to control the small patches of algae growing on the substrate and rock. Coralline is beginning to take off as well, I'm seeing mostly green a and red along with the usual purple.

Long awaited update!
Long awaited update!
Guys, gotta admit I've been MIA...however with good reason...My wife and I officially tied the knot the day after Christmas in Vegas! It was a planned ceremony(not to disappoint you Elvis fans) and everything turned out great:dance:
Cheers!:
Ok so back to fish crap as she calls it...I've had a little piece of equipment laying around for some time that I was able to grab up from Spectrapure. It's their unreleased media reactor which has and still is under development and I was lucky enough to get one to play with and report back.:dance:
This is a dual reactor setup with a 3.5 cup capacity chamber, 1/2" inlet/outlets and inserts with removable lid with a built-in 10 micron mesh filter.
Here's a few shots of it...Note I did not get any fittings with this unit however I was informed by Charles that it would be sold with barbed elbows similar to what you see in the pics, however that was not set in stone...Anyway here we go!
Shot from the side:
Shot of the housing with insert:
Insert with removable lid:
Showing the mesh:
Poly pads also included - 2 per canister:

Bottom of insert:
Filled with a cup and a half of Phoslock:
And there ya have it!
I've been running this since just before Christmas with 1.5 cups of Phoslock and 2 cups of carbon using a Rio1100. The configuration is set so that the Phoslock is on the ball valve since the media is very small in size and carbon is on a down flow passthrough so no tumbling.
Overall it's working great so far...crystal clear water and 0 Phosphates!
