  1. Well Im back after a 6 month stint at reefing....

    and 3 days after i shut down the tank and sold the live rock and scooped the 4" sandbed..... a 26" super red moved in smile.gif Right back at home now....

    I kept the Bio reactor and a few media reactors as well as the 5500GPH inline pump and the auto top off sensor system so she runs like a dream now...

    Still went old school with the 6 5gal pails of ceramic rings and 20 gallons of bio balls just to be safe lol.

    Also finally picked up my first diablo red and rigged up a 180 gallon to my 300 sump for central water changes smile.gif

    Im just gettin warmed up but i thought i would post something on here to show im no longer MIA.

  2. I think my anubias has alge on it....

    I tried silver dollars in there for about an hour and they chewed em up pretty good so i took them out...

    They have new bright green leaves starting but all the old ones have a brown fur on them?

    should i cut them or just let it be?

    Im using reef LED lighting over them with a 2700k flourecent aswell.

  3. I have been doing 10-20% water changes every second day since coming back to fresh from salt as the tank is up and running but hasnt had time to settle just yet with the stocklist changing.

    Im doing stability and prime daily and keeping a close eye on the paramiters....

    I have my old auto top off dual carbon block filter for clhorine and clhorimine but this still keeps the ammonia thats left to add to my tank so Ive been reluctant in getting that going again just yet...

    I also have a full RO/DI unit ive been adding a few pails here and there but it freaks me out in the event of a PH crash so i try to avoid it....

    Ive been doing it the old fastioned way with the python and dumping in the prime but with all the other units i have..... there must be a way to make this work???

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Im doing this on my 300 and 180 gallon that are plumbed together so its a fair bit of water..... and jugs of chemicals

  4. Well Ive givin up on salt...had a beautiful reef for 8 months.... HATED it.... Going back to stingrays and arowanas lol

    So now i have a 300 gallon full of salt...all the pumps, plumbing, sump ect ect and a giant bio reactor I would like to use for fresh aswell....

    What is the best, easiest and cheapest way i can do this without going through 600 more gallons of water before i fill her???

    Any advice is gold so thanks in advance :)
