Hey Coseal I Missed your post. . Im waiting for a Phosphate tester if possible.
The only thing holding it back has to be a reagent in a solution, If Hanna can do it.
The wife is loosing patience so this weekend I plan to transfer live stock and tear down the 75 and clean that and the sump along with 2 other sumps and get them posted to a local SW FB market. Well thats the plan we'll see what gets done.
What up with your system did you get the director running ?

Good Man, I picked up a kalk stirrer too and plan on that for the first 6 months. Getting ready to install a vortech that I had to add 6' of cable to....and watch the Hockey opener

Well the transition is complete and only one tank in the house. The tangs are loving the added room and rocks to play in.
The few corals are ticked, there is nothing in the water for them to eat. They'll live ...or not.
I have been cleaning ball valves, pumps, lights for three days after work. I listed the tank, stand and sump along with some other odds and ends on a facebook SW site and got booted because I kept relisting the add thinking I was loading it wrong. They sent a message stating the sale of Fire Arms is Prohibited
The only thing I came up with was a Trigger sump I listed, so to show them I put the tank and stand at the curb, I didn't want to clean it anyways. Don't cry, it was gone when I left for work this morning, now someone else has to clean it

Well I did something I never thought I would. I was cleaning house and selling things on Ebay and this popped up. So with my my ebay cash I bought it. I figure with new fish soon I can use this when needed. Has anybody use one before?
Ya or Nay? I am thinking running on the QT, no copper of course.

Depends on what you’re willing to deal with/put up with. I decided with my most recent setup I would only add snails. No crabs clanging around in the bare bottom tank. Reef Cleaners is cool but the hermits I got from them in the old system ate Acans. I prefer a lot of Astrea snails, some Trocus and handful of Turbo’s. If you want hermits stick to dwarf’s.

I grabbed the red sea to get something before I start adding fish. Going to get a few Wrasses this time around. I also want a blue spot Jawfish, I had one Briefly :mad: I plan on a nice lid down the road. Still have a ton of work to do before adding more fish. I want to get mix sta and AWC automated before setting up the QT down there. I lost everything (cromis dont count) and when @Scurvy got hit I realized if I want really nice fish I had better do the work. That's part of the reason I grabbed the UV.

Great Calls!! My losses are still crushing to think about and Im much more careful now. Live and learn I guess.... very happy with my Res Sea lid. Not as flashy as some of the custom options but I added black mesh to it and with my eurobrace I hardly notice it.
