Reef tank question

[eli@fijireefrock.com]

I like the flush look as an inwall tank you only see a window to the reef (I like that look) it you are worried about having the fish room bigger then simply extend your wall to the length you like.

I know a few people with huge 300+ gallon tanks that hardly ever do water changes.

Why? It's more stable and they didn't overload their tank with fish aka low bio load.

My neighbour is going on ONE YEAR for his reef tank with NO WATER CHANGES. Just keeps topping up with RO water. He has a 300 gallon with 150 gallon sump. 50 gallons of the sump is refugium. Has a good SWC skimmer which barely pulls anything out anymore thanks to the refugium. He has 6 tangs, 2 big angels, and maybe 8 damsels. Rest is coral.

He still has the same bucket of Tropic Marin salt from last summer.

I have a quick question about making the furnace room into a fish room. Wouldnt it make the rest of the house smell like an aquarium? I have my hockey equipment hanging in the furnace room and my wife hates it! and I get the equipment cleaned twice a year

This is also something I would like to know, because my 90g in my old house was in the furnace room but it never smelled and it ran great for 2 years. Will a bigger tank make a difference?

Your furnace does not draw air from around the furnace area. It uses the fresh air return vents for that.

Ok good to know thanks. I guess my hockey equipment is just foul smelling since she can smell it upstairs haha

Time to get them cleaned again

Vertex unit is an all in one with booster pump, they are pretty nice. I helped out a good buddy of mine installing it few month back, it's a caddillac(or lexus)of RO UNITS.

I bought a Puratek 100 GPD unit from JL with a booster pump.
