DO IT!

i just might have to.....even gone so far as to plan on building the rock wall w/ a round open area for the wet side & constructing a plexi box for the dry side to fit in since it would be attached to the false wall & actually be inside the refugium

 

[Dave Harms]

Sounds like a project.

yep....an "in planning" project till there are suffient funds to take it to an "in progress" project

 

[Dave Harms]

Here ya go, took some for you from various angles.

I run it with the lid off, its quieter this way.

You can see the lid sitting on top of my refractometer box.

It's pretty unobtrusive.

I like it a lot. Its a little "buzzy". I am going to try to take a little video of it in action and see if the sound comes out.

Video:



I start the video with the lid on, I don't normally run it that way. All I really need to do is find a longer rubber hose to attach to that silencer so it hangs outside the box, then it will be quiet with the lid on.

Here is a video of my VorTech MP10 in action:

[Reefy.Dave]

I know its probably been stated already but what light are you currently using on your setup?

 

[Dave Harms]

24" Nova Extreme 4x 24w T5's

It's in my Current tank info.

 

[Reefy.Dave]

Haha I should of noticed that. your tank is very nice. do you have any future plans for upgrading ?

 

[Dave Harms]

Nope. I downsized from a 70 to this. I don't want to go back up. Unless I win the lottery.

 

[Dave Harms]

So, I've been having phosphate problems the last month or so. Today I went ahead and added GFO to my BRS reactor. How long till I start to see a difference as far as cyano goes?

 

[Dave Harms]

After 3 weeks of running GFO in the reactor: Still battling cyano... my acan and my favia are both fading badly, I doubt they will make it. Today I went ahead and added another 2 tablespoons of medium.

Today's tests: PO4: 0, Ca: 380, NO3: 0 KH: 7, SG: 1.024, Temp: 78

I have a 29g. I starting to get more into the hobby. I upgraded my lights from 96w T-5 to 150w MH, 2x65w PCs.

What is that skimmer you have? I dont run a sump and I like how it hangs on the back.
