I finally setup the Genesis system.
system is impressive! not too hard to install once you read the instruction menu a few times. You have to decide on 1 of 3 modes and install the sensors accordingly.
the company.. not too impressed. first they forget to send me some important wiring. their top of line package does not come with enough suction cups. a $1000 system requires me to buy extra suction cups.. they also sent me 2 ball valves that were the wrong size. took a while to finish installing with all the back and forth..

How many gallons a day will you be changing?
Any idea how far you can pump the water from? I want to set something like this up eventually, but want my mixing bins in the garage which is about 50' away.

I'm setting mine at 5 gallons a day. 150gal a month so that's about 1/6 water change. I'll probably do a manual WC in between to get all the detritus.
They come with a small Eheim pump and a ball valve. You need to set it so water pumps out at ~1gal/min. Mine only travels about 5ft horizontal and 7ft up. ball valve is about 90% open. You can replace the pump with a larger one to delivery water further. Just mess with the ball valve after

Did you ever find a clam? I saw some nice size ones at Jans. Maybe 8"

I think a litermeter may work better for this application

Hey thanks Rik! I actually built a small reactor and stuck the tiny bit I had left in it and it's gone wild. I'm creating more than I can manage at this time due to my small sump size :lol: can't wait to upgrade this tank and build a larger reactor.

found a healthy male Crosshatch trigger. beautiful fish. hopefully he will pair up with my female
Also got a small black tang. I'm aiming to get a gem tang too. but not sure how the big 5" Purple will say to that... I'm putting in 2 small yellow tang in next week to test water..
so far the tank bully is the 3" Tusk.. biting new wrasse..
my favorite trigger nice pick up :thumbsup:
