Ever since we bought and moved into this house, I always wanted to up the water pressure. Especially the shower upstairs; WEAK SAUCE, and 40 psi for RODI (of course this is more important..)!!

We had a plumber take a look at something else the other day, so I asked him to up the water pressure. 10 min later, boom! 70~75 psi for RODI!! Im a happy man.

So the plumber did what to make u have more pressure and how much was that?

The plumber cranked up the regulator (pressure reducing valve) to get more flow. Theres a lot of how-to videos online, i don't want to get into it. Its easy to do, once you know how they work. He didn't charge me for this, since we paid for other work, took him a few min once he gained access to this valve.

Exacatly!! Remember me from 3reef years ago? Good to see you are back in the game. Crazy thing is i just got a 180 up and running. I remember we had our 90's up at the same time, then you disappeared, Ha! Tank looks great, can't wait to watch the progress. I just posted a video of my 180.

JB! NO WAY!! Yes I still remember the 90g gang from 3Reef! Its crazy! (ok deep breath..)

You got a 180 up and running, great to hear that, my tank got wet around the same time as you. I will check out your thread for sure!

Supposedly it adds the nitrifying bacteria in the system.
I had good luck in the past, i believe i beat dino and cyano with this thing in my old 90g. Im holding it off till the bacteria bloom settles down at the moment tho.

Nothing really to update, lost the Exquisite fairy wrasse. Just getting over it. pH is around 8 at the most, so I'm waiting for the soda lime.

Started to dose AcroPower (amino acid) every week with the routine water change, 5ml.

Anyway, FTS!

Alright I have lost 2 fish to jumping now. Need to get a clear top. Where did you get those clear clips?

Wow Shin it's already so beautiful. Love the scape, bonazi but not, minimalist but not.

Hey JB I was wondering about the mesh top on your rimless too the other day. Sorry to hear the jumpers. I got these mesh top holder thingy off eBay. Search "aquarium lid holder" they cost you few bucks (from oversea tho).

Hi Cheryl! thanks for the compliment! Its almost painful just to wait for them to grow.. The baby ice stag is certainly the fastest grower so far tho!

Tank looks awesome! Can't wait to see it with corals all grown in

Hi, I have been out of the hobby for a while but Im getting back.

Just picked up a shallow(-ish) rimless 90 gallon:

48x24x18 (regular 90g size but sideway)

Stand is still naked; formica is arriving tomorrow, i will snap some pics while i work on it.

It will have a coast to coast internal overflow with two drains: a main and an emergency. I have run full blown bean but not this time.

Drilled two for drains, two for returns.

Its gonna be an SPS dominated tank with biopellet. Keeping it simple and low maintenance. No controller or crazy additives (i have had several Zeovit tanks) and stuff.

Pacific Sun Duina T5 Light
VorTech MP40 QD x1
Tunze return Pump 1073.050 (controllable)
Skimmer with DC pump
Formica wrapped DIY stand (ADA style)

Wish list:
Another MP40 QD
Lots of SPS
Wrasses (not too rare ones..)

Thanks for looking and I will try to keep this thread pic heavy.

Nice ! Love the 48X24X18 dimensions. Is that a custom tank you had built or does someone make that as a standard size ?

Yes they do, thats what i got it from. Amazon has them too these days.

Thanks, Finatik! Im still loving the dimensions, and yes its custom made. The quote i got was for 48x24x16 and 48x24x18, they were the same price. I negotiated down to $600 with tax, i believe it wasn't a bad deal.
