having said that. The tank is still cloudy as all hell and I have to wait to get some filter socks....so got a couple of those nylon bags and filled em full of polyfiber. Slowly getting there. Got the tank up to a nice 80* and sg is 1.025 on the button....so got the current skimmer running which should help as well...

fired up the closed loop, works like a dream. With the two pumps and the small heater I'm maintaining a steady 80* reading. SG is 1.025...forgot to bring in some raw scallop yesterday and today is a day off, so tomorrow we'll start the cycle. Scallop and a cup or so of sand from an established tank should do the trick.
Also ordered two TLF reactors, going to run one with carbon and one with Rowa-phos or something similar. Question...should a maxijet 1200 be enough flow to daisy chain the two reactors together??? Rowaphos in the first one, carbon in the other? or should I look at two separate pumps.... This low budget tank is officially breaking me.

sweet....carbon in the second chamber then? Assuming it would need less flow and more contact time to really polish the water?
