Ryans 240 gallon tank.

I have the same Vertex RO/DI unit and I notice your middle chamber also has air in it. While its running have you ever bleed(loosen the clear canister then retighten) the air out and notice how much better it runs ? I find the booster pump cycles on and off lots untill I bleed the air out and also my TDS readings will also fall. I'm sure that it is not normal for the air to be in there, if the unit is sealed properly where would it come from, what do you think ? As a note I've been sent a new canister, o-ring and mounting plate with no change.

If the are gets lower then it is now I usually bleed it so not as much air goes through the booster pump. After I bleed mine their wont be any air in it till I change either the carbon or a sediment filter. Mine still sometimes runs really loud though even when there is no air in it.

Wow that was a quick set up... Wish mine could go that fast.
Do you find you have any problems with the bare bottom?
Tank looks great.

I like the barebottom I have never had any problems with it. It is very easy to clean and you dont have to worry about sand storms.

Well I thought I would give everyone an update on my tank. I have been battling a brown cyno/algea outbreak for the last 2 months. I just couldnt get rid of it for the longest time so I switched salts to reefers best and after the first water change the algea was pretty much gone and now 2 weeks later it is completely gone. The water had some stuff floating around in it because I moved a rock to save a frag that fell off its rock.
Here is a full tank shot I dont know why but the rock work always looks really bright in pictures.

Here is a couple pictures of my Powder blue tang


And here is a picture of the 2 frags I picked up at fragfest today.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am looking for tons of colorful sps frags to fill my tank with, so if you have some for sale let me know.
