Scott's 270g aka Project Mayhem

Getting closer!

[Scythanith]

I just picked up these beauties! Avast Marine Works MR5 & MR10 media reactors, a Mutiny II ozone reactor, and the Kraken!

MR5


MR10


Mutiny II


The Kraken


The MR5 is for GFO, the Mutiny II will drain it's effluent into the MR10 which will be packed with GAC. The Kraken is a biopellet reactor I plan on running. I still need to chose which biopellets to run, as well as which ozone generator/air dryer/pump to use. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty stoked though!

Looking good Scott, coming together nicely.

Thanks Steve, I am really excited to put your concept/design into action! I'm just trying to make sure the parts I buy are of a high enough quality that I shouldn't have to replace them in a couple years. With proper maintenance they should last as long as the system is up I hope.

Are you going to upgrade your Mitras' to the new LED configuration? I haven't given it much thought, as it's another $900.

Yes, looking great. I wish I had an open room behind mine, that's the way to go for sure.

Nope, seems rather pointless for that kind of money. I might consider it the new version if I was buying new fixtures but upgrading all clusters for a couple more white LEDs in place of the red and yellow won't make a difference IMO. I don't run the whites full as it is so adding more won't really add any more light in my case. Even though the new LEDs names seem to suggest they are more of a blue white I'm still not convinced. Plus the yellow is nice for making orange sunrises and the extra red spectrum seems to have value as well. So between the two I'm still leaning towards the original.

I am hoping someone puts out a comparison of both systems running. I tend to agree with your colour preferences though. I run KZ Fiji purple and 10K's more than super blues on my current T5 systems.

I agree with you there. I've only got my cool whites at 50% and don't want anymore white. Not unless they give me more rb, b and hv lol.

Great build and Pictures.

[Scythanith]

I target feed almost weekly. I scanned my phone and was surprised I didn't have any pictures of the pectina in night mode. I will get one for you when I am home in a couple weeks.

Thanks Alberta Reef
