I've been a little preoccupied lately, so I am just getting around to reading your article. I have seen your pics before, but reading the "behind the scenes" story really brought things together on what went in to this original work of art. So the decision is?.............Yep...........still one of my favorite tanks.

We spend hours on the phone and you don't tell me to look at the top of the forum. :lol:
You think you're real funny, just going to sit back and wait to see how long it takes me to see this. Well, it took this long!!
Did you think you'd ever get it finished? I know several of us didn't think you'd live through it. ROTFL
Mike, you know I think it's the one and only. :thumbsup:

Absolutely stunning! Every detail is meticulous and functional.
I can't imagine the planning process which has resulted in such an elegant and capable system.
Congratulations on attaining the "Black Belt" of reefkeeping.

Hey Mojo,
Awesome tank!! truly stunning....
A follow up question on the permeate pump. I was reading a post over on the ARS forum and it basically said that permeate pumps only help in systems that have a bladder tank, not an open flow. Can you explain how you have your permeate pump installed and what it fills?

Some people are saying since you run a very wet skimmer, you are basically doing 130 gallons water change a year. How do you correct your salinity level?

Severon I cant answer that question as it may be used against me in a court of law...by my wife, lol
Joey/Saltydad/Paul/jun_celis thank you very much for the kind words, I do appreciate.
mhurley the permeate pumps just recircs the brine water back through the ro membrane, i will try to get a look at how I have it plumbed for you hopefully this weekend.
Heres the concept, I view using ASW the same as I do an additive. its a cocktail of elements (and other things) that make a close simblance to seawater. I get most all of my elements from the use of kalk and calcium reacor effluent, for the balance of trace elements and Iodides I perfer to use Analytical Reagent Grade suppliments (currently from Warner marine). I find this combination to be of a higher standard then that which comes from a ASW manufacturer using lesser grade elements.
I woould have posted but could not seem to register. Heres a little twist for your friends on the board. I do replace topoff water, but from reading thier definitions that would not be concidered a water change, all I do to rase salinity is add the sodium, lol that should keep them busy for awhile
Wish them well for across the pond
