I wanted to share one of the best $12 investments I have made in a long time. Cleaning my tank has become a little of a pain in the a@! lately. If I neglect the front glass hard algae or other stuff starts to grow. When this stuff takes hold, the MagFloat is not an option. So the other option was to take the Algae scraper and stick my hand in the tank to scrub. NOT FUN.
Then I saw a neat little device in someones thread and I bought it.
It is call the Easy Blade. I got this thing and it cleaned my glass with the simple effort of passing the MagFloat.
I cannot believe scrubbing the glass as this easy. I think this thing is great and wanted to share this information with all you.
Again, best $12 I have spent in a looooooong time!

Ok so if you have been following my thread, you would know that I have changed my mind (thanks mrx66699) from doing an algae turf scrubber to doing a Natureef. Also with Roggers help, I was able to get this thing up and running. I am at the point where the water flushed out is so much improved. It is just a matter of time before my tank starts to benefit from this Natureef technology.
Here is a picture of how my NatuReef is set up.

Before my Natureef my Nitrates and Phosphates were off the wall.

Now this is how my water looks like when coming out of my Natureef.

Still working on the Phosphates. I just started with the Phosphagone this weekend.
All in all, I am happy with how it is working. Thanks again mrx66699 and Rogger.

Cool tank! Those moonlights are perfect!

 

[mrx66699]

Bill it will just be a matter of time with the NR.....you will never leave home without one again lol

Nice work Bill-BTW I have not made a water change in a year now. So much for newer technologies, Natureef and Adolf created something special a while back.

Sometimes the best technology is old technology.

Well in an effort to prepare my tank for future Corals, I bought a new toy. I think my Reeflow skimmer couldn't keep up so my PO4 and NO3 were off the charts. I just installed this Deltec TC 2560 and it looks like it is a work horse.
I hope to pull out lots of junk from my tank with this thing.
Take a look....

 

[mrx66699]

looks good buddy ....

 

[Rogger Castells]

That is a very nice skimmer!

 

[bmanzie]

Thank you, now I just need to fine tune it and come up with a better plumbing plan.

 

[gasman059]

Now that's one beautiful skimmer right there!

Im glad your denitrator is working correctly

 

[bmanzie]

The denitrator is kinda working. I cannot seem to cycle it more than twice a day.
I started a vodka/vinegar daily dose to help with my nitrate issue.

 

[Southsid_reefer]

wow this is one beautiful setup. keep up the good work

 

[bmanzie]

Thank you very much.
Always a work in progress.

 

[bmanzie]

So I made a change in the plumbing as well as the pump that feeds the skimmer. I needed to feed more water to the skimmer and it was bothering me how the plumbing looked.

 

[Crawfish00]

[adubrocq]
