DKoKoMAN’s 305g Basement Reef

So this morning after work I came home to my Skimmer overflowing. It has been a little finicky lately with the slightest change causing it to overflow. I decided to take it apart and see what is going on.

- Found some chaeto in the pinwheel which was removed and everything is running smoothly.

I also took the time to put a couple sharpie marks on the Venturi of the pump and wedge pipe. This was done to help with tuning in the protein Skimmer as the vertex has both adjustments. This way I have a point of reference when turning the Venturi and wedge pipe. Hopefully I will be able to get it dialed in so the skimmate being produced is nice and dark. Couple photos.

I was playing around with taking some photos with my iPhone the other day. What’s a build thread without lots of photos right? I figure this will also serve as a good reflection to see the growth of the tank.

Enjoy the photos!

Thinks are looking great but that Hollywood stunner just a side note Evil the sweepers on it just keep getting longer and hotter. Maybe in the middle all alone but they grow fast. Enjoying the thread

Thanks for the kind words. The Hollywood Stunner is isolated to its own peak to plate out luckily.
