BUILDING A DREAM....SPS Dominated Tank build

[Acronic]

as long as those socks stay in place, detritus wont build up quickly. On that note, time to clean the socks buddy ;P

Otherwise its quite the purrdy sump. you are doing it right, no doubt about it

 

[Bello]

Nice sump!

Very clean. How's the zeo Rx working out?

 

[Reef_Noob]

Very clean! Looks good! Is the the other input on the skimmer pump for ozone?

Hi Gadgets,
Sorry I missed the question....yes it's the ozone port of the pump.

What day of the cycle you on? I just finished my cycle last month.

It's pretty amazing how much the skimmer pulls out during the cycle. I was shocked!

 

[Reef_Noob]

Keep the good work!

Hi Bello,
I'm on the 5th day now. As of yet I haven't noticed the skimmer pulling out much. Maybe it's coz the tank's new? Or maybe the skimmer is still breaking in. I'm not sure.
So did ya start Zeo dosing on an estabilshed tank or started fresh?

 

[Bello]

Started fresh. Think it started skimming after the 10th day. Don't remember exactly.

It's a bit weird in the beginning, stay with it. I added fish around the 19th day or so, btw. NO2 levels were still high for me till then.

Hi Bello,
Thanks a lot for the input.
Skimmer is not yet fully settled in. But I'm not gonna worry on that till the 14 day cycle is over n done. Bcoz if I'm skimming out too much now maybe the Zeo additives are getting skimmed out too....I want the additives remain in the tank as long as possible and give me my money's worth :lol2:....it's psychological I guess

I'm planning to add few fish/test frags after the 1st water change. Being forcibly patient :headwally:
