Lance's 225 gal tank

[Delphinus]

Got mine from Oceanic - http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=131

There's also a slightly larger version for $20 more (http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=132 ) if you really want to go nuts (actually I think there are 2 to 3 sizes up technically).

I think one could already easily run 2litres of pellets without any output foam in the standard sized one though.

Ordered the MR-1 last night.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
I've been running the N-P Reducing Pellets for awhile now and can't get the nitrate level below 10 whereas Tony and some others have seen their levels drop to 5 and lower. Although 10 is much better than the 20 to 25 range it was at before the pellets, I want it lower yet. Out of curiosity I tested the saltwater in the 32 gal Rubbermaid trash can I mix it in: Nitrates = 10 (WTF!) So I then mixed up 5 gals of SW and measured it: Nitrates = 0 I mix my saltwater 2 days before I need it, so in 2 days nitrates go from 0 to 10! No wonder I'm having trouble with nitrate levels in the tank. I better find myself a better water container and throw this trash can in the trash can. I have a 50 gal food safe container for the RO water, so I better get another one for SW. For those of you who are using Rubbermaid containers, it might be a good idea to check the nitrate levels in your water.

Whooooo Hooooo! 3 weeks with no water change and the nitrates are still under 5.
Cyano is gone; turf algae is almost gone; over-stocked tank and fat fish. Man, I love these pellets!

Lance where did you pick up the food grade container? All mine are Rubbermaid. And I need water and lots of it.
