I am seriously thinking about turning one of my vats into a magrove forest. I just bought a bunch of mangroves and will fill one on my vats with southdown and mangroves as a start. Does anyone know of a place I can find info on mangroves and thier inhabitants?

 

[redox]

mangroves are really awsome!! but here are some pics from tonight,not pro pics but you can see the growth.

H2O I am gonna put the rk2 o3 back online but they cant put the order through because they were evacuated due too the fire threat .(rk2 incali and the santa ana winds are....) I am tired of regening the beads and am going back to electronics doing it for me. I must come up with a way for it too be isolated from moisture in the winter? Isolated and still venting itself from the heat it produces too regen the beads? any ideas?

Any way to draw the air from your house or outside, rather than the GH? If its real cold, even if its wet out, the moisture content of the air is lower than the warm humid GH. Cold air holds way less moisture than warm air.

Do you have any newer updated pics of the inside of the whole GH? I am interested in seeing the layout and the vat system and the filtration.

Thanks

 

[redox]

no but I will take some updated shots for you. Basically I use lots of live rock and 2 large rk2 skimmers. And calcium reactors and a large rdsb. Thats it for filtration. oh yea I have a phosban reactor going now

We got alot of rain in Raleigh and we are expecting a couple more days of it so that is good news.

How you liking the GFO? I know you do!

 

[redox]

Serious you are correct. I bought a 5gallon bucket of it . well it was half full but you are right it works and works well

 

[Fishkeeper101]

Absolutely amazing. Good job man!

What is your flow like? I see you are using a myriad of ways to put flow in your tank and was wondering what you thought your turn over was?
(Just installed the Tunze 6300 in my tank at work and boy is it wonderfull!)

 

[redox]

I run 4 tunzes in one vat (sps vat) and the vat is fed by a single gen-x pcx55 (feeds two 1" seaswirls and the calcium reactors) and a pcx40 that feeds a large skimmer. so if you add up the 2 gen-x pumps its about 2300 gal/hr rollover from the sump but then if you add in the tunzes it pushes the flow up to about 12000gal/hr. wow I never really added it up but thats some flow

 

[FroggyFeet]

Haha nice, Thanks for all the wonderfull pics by the way!
