Looks like things are on a pause. My return pump shat the bed.

Keeps on shutting off after being on for a few mins, also has hard times starting to spin up.

Subscribed! I really like the marineland tanks. This one looks like an awesome size. Interested to see the result as so far looks good. Do the marineland tanks this size get pretty pricey?

Sorry for the lack of updates.

heres the story.

after the pump died, i had to get a replacement asap. got a new snapper, installed and all is flowing.

So far the only thing i have done is tidy up the underside.

I havent hooked my reactor up yet, as its not quite powerful enough, so therefor, if anyone is interested, I have a AquaCare Turbo Chalk reactor with basi-Tech III Controller, up for sale.

ordering a new one once that sells.

I am also awaiting my new skimmer, as the euro reef 135 from my old system...... just cant keep up.. hahaha

I also need to add some more live rock. By some more, i mean about 200 Lbs.

I am going to get the rest of the rock from Interior Reef this afternoon.

If i dont mess up the water too badly, then i will post some more photos tongiht. otherwise, i will post more once my new skimmer arrives and they call me.

The Skimmer is going to be a Bubble Magnus 220Cs.
also coming in are 4 of the controllable Koralia 8's and controllers for the Profilux.

I still havent decided on a light.

I was considering the Maristar light from Sunlight supply, as it is very nice and clean, however, it only has 4 39w T5s, which i dont think is enough for a 300G tank.

if anyone has any suggestions for lighting, feel free to post, i am looking for lots of ideas.

Till later on,

Happy Reefing :-)
