DSA NEO 105 Build

looks great pat. what do u run in that reactor. im gonna get the same one and mix carbon and gfo.

You're going to get allot of different opinions here, but they should not be mixed. The carbon can reach its end of usefulness very fast, arguably overnight. So.... I tumble the GFO gently, and on the output tube, run the water gently across a refillable micron bag filled with some carbon. This way the GFO runs until exhausted (2-3 weeks in my tank) and the carbon I replace after only a few days. I also am a believer of only using carbon once in a while to clear up the water.

thanks for the info. i will probably do the same thing, just run gfo in the reactor and use carbon in a micron bag when needed

Saaweeet!! Yep that's it. Joe said the price would go up once they got it out there. It is a really cool piece.

 

[Hammerleaf]

I got one too last week from PC, also picked up the mint pavona too! I like your taste in corals!

Ya if it's ORA, I can't help it. Collect em all lol. Probably at about 40 just from ORA and only missing the Mauve acro for the MIMF pieces, but the yellow fuzzy I just picked up is not doing well. That's my third attempt.

Joe, save me that one in the back hahha

Something like 70x over not counting the returns, so not quite a 1,500,00gph :lmao:
