Does anyone have personal experience with the RK2 ozone generators? I am looking at buying their 300mg/hr unit. Also, would you be content using the Profilux system to control and monitor the ORP or would you buy the RK2 monitor controller? I personally feel that the Profilux should do the job just fine, but am open to everyones suggestions!

Cheers,
Scott

Very nice build. You've got a pretty sweet skimmer. You won't need to run ozone with it. IMO.

I'm running ozone for water clarity, something the skimmer won't really effect (as far as I know).

It has begun! Damn is my RODI slow! I have the 100psi booster on there and it's still painfully slow.

Return plumbing is 90% done. I just have to paint the 90's black and glue them in!

Great job on the plumbing, did that silicone hose come with the pump?

Thanks Steve. I had to order the silicone connector kit from Abyzz. The clamps are pretty badass though!

The freezer is awesome! All the fish food is on it's own and I'm not leaving the little foil squares from the PE Mysis in the people food freezer. I am looking forward to working on the tank once it's up and running. I am still being cautious not to crowd equipment in and still don't have everything 100% figured out as to where I want it. For example, I have 3 x 300w EJ heaters that I don't know where I am going to put. Sure they can fit in plenty of places but where is the best lol!?

So going forward my suggestion is fix the baffle first, you could lower it or raise the overflow height but it's not ideal. The baffle should be replaced with some form of screen. I can help you out here, build you a replacement and send it your way.

If you're unable to reduce the water drop from the display to something your sump can handle as is then I suggest you ditch the built in refugium and remove it's divider, use that space to extend the return pump section which should add quite a bit of empty running volume.
