400 Gallon Coral Flat Project

[Northernseacorals]

Flipped on the RO system a few hours ago.... ( going to take a while ! )

The Vertex Puratek 100 GPD system is actually making water at a rate of 5g every 27-30 minutes, so it's working much faster than advertised, the source water is room temperature and that does help somewhat for sure.

Ordered roughly 900lbs of dry rock ( will be plumbing another 180 ToughTub in for the rock), salt and 2x 1000w JbJ True Temp systems, Apex with 4 of 8 slot power-bars.

Thinking about going this direction for ATO... anyone familiar with this model?

I emailed the company with a couple of questions, however still not committed

Next I am at a toss up over calcium reactor or dosing, I've never used dosing pump method before; however quite familiar with CA reactor and I would be interested to hear from people whom have switched from one to the other or back.

At least he has water in his Tank

Here is the suction modification for the skimmer so it will draw from the dirty water side.




Going to play around with some baffle ideas possibly until the other Tough Tub is plumbed in.
