So I finally delivered the bow front to the new owner's today & stopped at Blue World. Pick up a few thing's, bought a new red scooter blenny, some more IO Reef Crystals and 2 500ml bags of NP Pellets.

So when I got home I cleaned up the 2 - TLF 150 PhosBan Reactors, dumped one bag in each, made a tee with a valve on each on and hook them to a Marineland Maxi-Jet 1800.

The last thing I need to do to have everything in as far as equipment & media is to put in the carbon bags into the skimmer boxes that I built.

Pic's tomorrow.

A little video of the whole tank and down to the sump. Shows the NP pellets in the reactors dancing away, hope this is enough flow threw them.

Interesting idea to submerge the reactors. No worries about leaks there I guess! Looks like enough flow.

That's quite the level drop into your last chamber. You don't have microbubbles?

Default NP Pellets

"Pick up a few thing's, bought a new red scooter blenny, some more IO Reef Crystals and 2 500ml bags of NP Pellets".

I would be very interested to hear how your NP pellets work out. I've read everything that I can find on them and have just placed my order too.
