Lasses Dream Build

[nmo0ory]

hello
how are you?
is it possible you can show us around the filtration for the temperately coral room

 

[Lasse]

I run around 4 - 5 ppm NO3 and adding some every day. PO4 vary between 0.1 and 0.03. I use Hanna Checker for both. I run one refugium placed over the DSB and one smaller chaeto reactor, The Chaeto reactor have not worked very well but have worked better the last weeks after a cleaning, Have around 2 - 300 L passing the DSB every day - from bottom and up. Some small doses of DOC in the plenum

Last 24 hours - around 200 L through the DSB and adding around 1,1 ml 4% ethanol. Both the flow and the DOC dosing is managed by the redox readings

Great thanks alot waiting for it

Lasse any speculation why chaeto hasn’t grown well?

 

[Lasse]

Yes - i had not install the light in the right way - I get water between the outer glass and the inner glass.

I count 16 dosing heads.

Can you list what you are dosing please.

I have 9 dosers and I thought I had a lot

I can help Lasse out and explain some more. Lasse's pictures are from three different coral systems. Two large ones with grey plastic sumps, and the "experiment tank" with a glass sump.
I can't say for sure how many dosing head we have to each system, I'm working from home today But in short, all three systems have dosing for:
Core7 - 1
Core7 - 2
Core7 -3a + 3b
NaNO3 or KNO3
KH2PO4
Ethanol
Manganese
Iodine
Iron

But we don't run the phosphate addetive now since we don't need to. Same for nitrate some periods. And ethanol. But the dosing pumps are ready if we need to start dosing.

We also dose EasyBooster and/or EasySPS with dosing pumps.

 

[Lasse]

System KS1 - 14 dosing head - some not in use for the moment (2) including KH director
System KS2 - 10 14 dosing heads some not in use for the moment (2) including KH director
System CP - 13 dosing heads - 2 not in use for the moment + 3 dosing heads in an Alcatronic

I have edit the post with pictures - you will see which system the pictures are from.

Thank you. Impressive, I did not realise how big the operation was.

Thanks for editing the pics post. Much more clearer now.
Auto-dosing does make reef keeping a little bit more manageable.
I don't know what I would do without mine. I went for Ecotech Versa dosers when I started having reliability issues with my Evo4's. So far they are rock steady.

 

[najer]

Asking here for a couple of reasons, hope you are well @Sallstrom , are the roof sections complete, when can inside work start?

 

[Lasse]

@najer Yes the roof is at its place - here a short video and some photos when they mount it

that's amazing
very simple and effective i love it
thank you for sharing
did you try the new ghl ion ? or Alcatronic is better you think?

 

[Lasse]

We have the ion in order - alcatronic is more like a KH director and our has been rocksolid during this year

very nice
i want to get the ion also because it will test K as well witch i need i zeovit

and soon i want to try to make a room like yours to host some corals and test on them new stuff

Wow! Your running those at 100%
