Thanks Flo!
After adding The D&D salt I found a little of the infamous brown residue in the filter socks, but the amount was very little.
Take into account that I added a whole large bucket of salt.
Here's a photo how I seed/cycle the tank.
I put a large shrimp in the filtersock to introduce some ammonia, and several bacterial products to get the cycling started.
I've used a very high grade sand for the RDSB.
Did a magnet check but came out absolutely clean, fortunately.
The refugium mud and coral sand were mixed together for the RDSB.
There will be
four of these in the refugium tank.
I always work with RDSB's because all the tanks remain BB.
The refugium mud is new for me, who knows if it will add something extra.
I also finished the water station. I can tap RO water or fill the large 80 gallon reservoir using a valve next to the water tap.
The RO unit automatically shuts down when the reservoir is full using a float switch.
I only have to install a PVC valve to empty the reservoir when I do a waterchange and install a mixing pump.
I use a 5-stage double membrane Vertex RO unit /200G per day.
I also placed the first of the two black eggcrate panes for the fragmentation tank.
I can sit watching all this for hours at the moment... Really enjoying the outcome of the equipment room already.
Thanks for watching, feel free to comment! :hammer:
