Well, tank is 6 months old.
Summer heat is killing me, but the tank has levelled out at 80*C. Decent.
Tank has been fish free for almost a month, NO3 dropped to zero, what a surprise. The Doc's Eco Matter seems to have worked wonders, pods and bugs everywhere, also finally getting some coralline here and there.
Started to get some decent encrusting happening, so I figured its time to start mounting.
Followed the
Bblinks method of mounting and just started plopping plugs everywhere, lol. Still a few left to do, ran out of putty.
Also need to create a Monti island on the bottom right.
Had a slight problem with the ro/di. After filling the ato, the unit shut itself off and water proceeded to spill out all over the kitchen floor. Traced the water back to the high pressure switch.
Got in touch with Jeff at J&L and he spoke to the local Vertex rep. She suspects too much pressure after the booster pump. House pressure is about 40 psi and the gauge after the booster pump reads around 105 psi. Part will take a few days to come in and then I will swap it out, measuring pressure after, and make adjustments if need be.
J&L are amazing!
Drip, drip, drip. Happy reefing!
