Glad things worked out for Pinky. I never heard of a carpet finding powerheads. I see it is better and hope improves.

I added a Hanna dual stag TDS meter (so I don't have to break out the TDS pen). I have it setup where I get TDS reading post Kold Sterile Filters and post Kati/Ani resins. The KSF need changing out as I was getting a reading of 78 ppm, but after Kati Ani I get a reading of 1 ppm. Not bad eh ?

After reading a book Jake Adams recommended on RB named Practical Coral Farming by Miguel Tolosa, I decided to give vodka dosing a shot (no pun intended). I'm happy to report I'm getting 0 ppm Nitrates and 0.25 ppm or less Phosphates. I bought the Kirkland brand vodka (as you tell by the pic) for under 20 bucks. I still have plenty left after dosing 6ml a day in main display and 2 ml in the frag tank.
gimmito- I see you used e marco 400 and another compound to bond or cement your rocks together. I am trying to locate this stuff and I cant seem to find it. Do you have any recommendations on where to buy this stuff. I am looking to do a rock wall and need a fair amount of this stuff to complete my vision. I see that marco rocks sells a mortar mix of the same stuff you used apparently. But its somewhat expensive and I feel like I would be spending roughly 3 times the amount if I went the marco route. Any info would be great. Oh by the way I am located in the far east bay brentwood/Oakley area if that helps. I frequently visit family in the san leandro to fremont area if there are stores over there that carry this product. I saw you mentioned whitecap in Newark and I looked at there website but I didn't see this exact type of mortar. Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Madean,
Whitecap is the only place I know where you can get the emaco. Give my buddy John aka Jestersix (the rockscape artist) a shout where you can find it. I would highly recommend him to build it for you also.

Great read & awesome videos!! You have given me a lot of good ideas to get my system back in check. I read the entire thread today as I'm recovering from surgery yesterday.

Great build, Jim.
You have put a ton of work into your system; well designed and executed! Can't wait to see this reef grow in.
