So some pictures finally now things have settled.
The photos show the GHL balling system now in place using the 3 channel GHL doser, Bubble magus 5L containers which will be filled using Ocean fresh ionically balanced balling salts. All wiring now complete on the system and it all seems stable. Not happy with the Tunzes I wish i could use MP40's but the acrylic pushes it past their tolerence and not being a solid fixture creates resonance. May look at routing a hole in it to fit the MP40's Yes the flower pot coral is in way too soon but had to rescue it. And the chunk of monti that used to be bright green with purple edge is acting as a guinea pig to the system Not the best of cameras, when we start doing promotional work with the tank we have photographers on stand by!         |

you are either referring to the 3 x balling containers or the in sump biological trickle feed stage?

To explain the secondary bio chamber better -
Buried Under the rubble at one end is a small flow pump, this creates turbulance and flow through the rock as well as keeping it free of gunk. The other end where flow is limited is the DSB. The carbon and GFO returns into this secondary stage which is the water feed for this area at a low flow rate, so the water is circulated many times before re-entering the system. There is a small weir to the rear of the sump where the water is returned to the main sump |

Looking very nice Michael, would have loved to see the light hanger on this build but the ceiling hanger kit look so clean.
