My 6ft Slice of Ocean. . .

An equipment update here. I ordered a shiny new 6 stage deluxe RODI system from Bulk Reef Supply along with a bunch of filters. My old RO was a Coralife I bought before I really got into the hobby and knew what was going on. I love this new RO! I also learned that my water pressure sits around 80psi which is alot higher than I thought. Deffinitly no need for a booster pump. I also insulated my salt water mix tank as the room gets fairly cool. This should help keep the heater from running constantly in the tank. A new float valve was added from BRS instead of the garbage coralife one which filled with water and refused to float!













I also received some ROX Carbon from BRS that im fairly excited about. The reviews seem great and im sure it will be better than the Black Diamond Carbon I am currently using.



I have switched salt to Royal Nature. The tank was originally set up with H2Ocean salt. I got sick of this salt quickly as it added a terrible residue to my mixing tank and with its high price tag I was not sure it was worth it. I used one bucket of IO which brought my calcium down every time I did a waterchange. I realized I should pick a good salt and stick to it. I was going to try red sea coral pro after reading great reviews. After being recommended to Royal Nature by Dave at Concept, I must say it really seems great so far, along with great reviews.



I also decided to add filter socks to the mix on my tank. They will be changed out and washed frequently to help maintain low nutrients. I bought 7" socks from BRS along with a filter sock holder. I had to modify my drains under the tank to accomadate the filter sock.




And the last thing I added was another Energy Bar 8 for my Apex. I have had only one heater running on my tank since its start because I had no extra outlets on my apex. I decided with it now being winter I better get a back up heater on the tank. This will also allow me to add my return pump, skimmer, and ATO to the controller, as well as my dosing pumps that I have recently ordered and should be here next week! (super excited)





I just thought you should see me sweet calender as well haha

With pressure like that you should order their water saver kit. You'll waste about half the water and double your output. I was shocked to find my pressure is just shy of 100 psi when I picked up a gauge (needed to know pressure before ordering the kit which requires at least 65 psi).

dats a fine looking water station you got there......I have the same callender, love it.....
