SigMarabi's Reefer 525 XL

[sigmarabi1]

Day 4 of Cycling:
Red Sea Test Kit
PH 8, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0.05, Nitrate 3
Installed an auto shutoff valve to stop waste water, a flush valve for the membrane, and float valve on my DYI reservoir to collect filtered water. All worked great. I might run a water line to the sump but I'm undecided bc these things can fail and fload the house. I went ahead and installed two leak detectors to my Apex but still equipment fail sometimes.

Hey man, how did you plum your chiller to the tank? Did you run it off your manifold?

 

[sigmarabi1]

Yes, it runs out pf the manifold to a room behind the wall.

Cool man thanks. What are the fittings you used below the gate valve to attach the flex tubing?

It took about five weeks give or take. They did a great job.

Hey Zach, I had an ich outbreak, of course the powder blue started it, so all my fish are in QT being treated with copper and DT is running follow. I will post some pictures later of both DT and QT.
