![]() Nice start. What do you have planned for equipment? That's the important stuff.
![]() In my more than 20 years of reef keeping I've yet to need to remove a sump, but I always design it so the sump can be removed. I'm pretty sure if I ever designed it so I couldn't remove the sump Murphy's Law would move in very quickly. ![]() |

![]() o Super Reef Octopus SSS-3000 skimmer added to the system
o 2 Tubes of pellets which have good nitrifing bacteria from Globaldesigns tank (for the life if me forget what this is called) These have been running in a rubbermain tub since the move. Skimmer is skimming like mad already in my system. next in order is tiding up the power cables (temperarily) Big plan is to move all power cables through the back wall to a new circuit , and a gang of outlets, no cables/power bars will be view of the main tank/sump Also need to hook up the ATO system, and RODI unit ![]() Jim

![]() moved most of the power connections into the basement on the wall opposite the tank. Have a few more to move, there will be minimal connections near the tank.
I added 2 13amp breakers and some power plugs there is one box that is messed up has I had to move it slightly and could not get it positioned the way I wanted but it will have to do as i had the wiring done and it was a cramped area, so it will stay as is LOL ![]()

![]() Last night and this morning I tinkered with my RODI upgrade (had an aquasafe 100gpd RODI unit, got new filters in for it yesterday, could not get any RO produced, kept dinking around with the flow preventor (what a PITFA) finally got it synced this morning its at about a 3:1 ratio right now
TDS IN : 138-146 TDS OUT: O (without DI TDS is 1) Now to figure out why the ASV does not stop waste from dumping down the drain, may have to get something else if this does not work J
