It has begun, My new 180 SPS build

things have really started to POP since i added my new GEO 618 calcium reactor


here it is under my stand. I made a few innovations.. cause i am cheep :) that actually make life a lot easier

I did not want to add yet an other small pump to plug in and clean and all that so I T-d off the return pump. this has another huge advantage for the calcium reactor, very consistent high pressure, which keeps my effluent drip rate constant :)

I had noticed that it was requiring more kalkwasser to keep my pH stable with the new reactor co I concocted this DIY ghetto 2nd chamber / Co2 bleed off chamber The Effluant hose goes to the bottom of the jar and it is held in place with a surgrip magnet.. works wonders for my tank pH

you may have noticed that I T-d off my return twice in the earlier picture, one of my pet peeves is having to prime my GFO reactor every time i change media and adjusting the stupid slide with my thumbnail on the minijet404 and it always getting clogged.. not any more, now it is just a ez turn of a ball valve and i got rid of another pump :)
