Few pics of earlier rock scape


Rock flowers in the refugium

On the bottom right I plugged the return that comes directly from the drain before the filter bags, I found a lot of debris was going thru this tank then straight into my return pump and into display. To fix the issue of no water returning to refugium any more I piped my gfo reactor to drain into the refugium.


Also week or so after being introduced to new home one or so rock flowers had babies again.

Few pics of the livestock up top I lost a lot of color when I moved everything over plus the lower nutrients was a bit of a shock. Everything is slowly coming back and growing finally.

Another project on my tank was to get the brightwell bio brick running a certain way recently I was informed the correct way of running this brick to encourage anaerobic bacteria was to run water thru the block something like the pic below.

So off to work i went I started with building these 2 supports.

Then glued them to sump

Next I cut a tee in off my return pump line with a valve to control flow.



And finally it running, so enough water should go thru that water runs off each nipples.
