I am not sure. I don't think very often. The idea is to allow the bacteria to form and grow in the chamber. I believe as long as the sand continues to fluidize, I won't need to touch it. Finding a pump has been a challenge. They suggest a high RPM pump, 3,450 RPM. One of the LFS's has loaned me a used 3,000 RPM Little Giant. I am going to see how that works.
Hey Wayne. You do see the sand movement chamber. It's the clear chamber on the top and will fluidize approximately 1/2 - 3/4 ways up. Hopefully I will get it set up this weekend.

You guys crack me up!
I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. I spent the day reprogramming my Radion's and working on my Fluidized Sand Reactor.
Everything is going great!!! Just not as much time in the day as I would like!

They no longer get startled. I think they are used to me standing and staring all the time.
Even when I clean the glass, they don't swim away. Actually, a few of them sometimes chase the magnet!
I have been looking for some type of matching cantera stone object that I can install on hinges above the tank. I would like to be able to cut some holes above the drywall so that I can feed from the front.

It's not going to be a big shipment week this Friday. Just a couple of boxes. I am expecting some shipments from Neptune Systems, Marine Depot and maybe some livestock.
I still need to post some pics from last week!!!

No matter how big or how small the box is going to be, it still will be Danday regardless. I so much want to be like Dan. :dance::dance::dance:

Skimmate Locker Bucket
Skimmate Locker Bucket
Not a great pic...
This was one of my deliveries last week and I can't tell you how helpful it is.
It is a clear 5 gallon bucket that gives me a visual of how much waste is being stored from my protein skimmer and a better idea of when I need to empty it. The locker itself, from Avast Marine, has a float sensor inside. It will shut off my protein skimmer if the bucket gets full.

Seems practical. Is that a full day of skimming in the bucket?
