haha so much for reading what i typed! just kidding

im hoping that with the deltec mce300 + the CPR aquafuge it'll get rid of alot of the nutrients inside the water column, the only thing now is calcium reactor setup + light hanger and letting some of my LR cure and cook

i still havent decided what to put in the fuge yet other then chaeto, LRR or DSB anyone?

hey guys,

so today i went to oceanaquatics and picked up the via-aqua calcium reactor, i heard its supposed to be very good at doing its job for only $60 so we will see how that works out. it has a pump built into the top so we will see how that works! heres a picture of it.

How's that calcium reactor supposed to work? No CO2 I assume... Does it just flow water through some media? Looks like the same idea as a PhosBan Reactor...?

it does require CO2 just like any of the normal calcium reactors

hey guys a quick and short update, i made some light hangers from aluminum rods 3/4" which will side right next to my tank. the height of the hanging rods are 7' tall and 3' long. connected via PVC 90d joints so i am able to quickly remove the upper bar if i needed to do something light taking the pendant lights fully off or something. i coated the aluminum rods with clear coat incase it does contain some elements which i didnt want.

heres some pictures

i havent bolted it on yet )

what it would look light from the side:
