Do you have ur sump running already?
Really nice man, that sump looks familiar lol, I jut came from my lfs and my water is perfect with salinity and everything.
Hondachico said:I got some carbon in a media bag inside of the sock and then I'm going to later buy some chemipure and just hang it in the fuge
Hondachico said:We are running a 10 gal sump at least that's the only space I had for.
Sniperhank said:Carbon is fine for a reef, but if you use stuff that has alot of dust on it it can get into the tank, which is bad. Just remember, when it comes to filter media like carbon, GFO, chemipure, whatever, that the more water you get through it and the slower it goes the better.
What size of a sump is it that you guys are running? I was looking at building one just like that for my 55. Is the water level in the fuge section high? I thought there was supposed to be a slow trickle into the fuge from section 1?
Reefpete said:Water in fuge section is 8inch high with a two inch sand bed for now
How hard was it for you to tune the flow?
