New tank

I’m looking for suggestions on dosing systems for calcium and alkalinity and a dependable auto top off system.

This will be SPS only as I transition my 470 gallon to a mixed reef with acropora dominant.

Lighting will be Reefbreeders Photon V2 Pro 50”
Trigger Systems 20 Ruby sump
No skimmer

Simple Hydros will work for what you want.

Thanks.

Are you going to dose two part or what? I bought a kalk reactor I am not going to use

What are you doing for an overflow?

Another New Nanook Build:thumbsup: If you decide to drill for an overflow, let me know. I've got a nice little drill press with diamond hole saw.

And look what the cat dragged in:lol: What's up buddy?

Hey Buddy! Yeah I am back. I helped Nook in the fall, and I was asking about you. We need to get together.

Yeah, that would be nice.

I will get a Lifereef overflow.

I don’t want to mess with Kalk, but need to figure out a two part or three part doser to include magnesium.

Is this going to be a frag tank Dave or frag and grow out duties?

Hey Mark and George!

 

[Nanook]

Frag and grow out on a smaller scale for complete control of nutrients. Probably just a clean up crew.

 

[sirreal63]

Good plan, I am still partial to CaRx but dosing may be easier on a 75.

Simple BRS two part or aquaforest component 1 2 3 should work great

I've always been less than thrilled with using Kalk. Holdover from when people only used vinegar to clean pumps. The calcium deposits would build up on my pumps and the vinegar would damage the motors by penetrating the plastic and corroding the magnets inside.

What two part are you planning on using, or are you going to go with Kalk? Nothing wrong with Kalk, you just need to clean your pumps with either muriatic acid or citric acid.

Reefbreeders also sells dosing pumps as another thing to consider.

That sounds a lot like me.
