Hi Dick:
Finally finished your 135 thread. Thanks for being so thorough and honest in all your posts. It's encouraging to me to see that even a reefer of your experience and expertise can experience the nasties that I (and I guess a lot of us) have experienced and keep on going. I almost gave up a while back when a hair algae outbreak really brought me down.. I finally tackled it with those little bamboo skewers you can buy a pack of 100 for .99 and a good cleanup crew. I've also had green bubble algae (mithrax crabs did best but I guess they are not so good for reefs) and a coraline growth that did finally overwhelm my old acrylic 90 gal. I've learned a lot of patience over the years but sometimes it is difficult. Nice to be here on such a great site with such great people. Now if that I4 would only show up (I'm never patient waiting for new "stuff") I also have the Current USA tower chiller (1/3 hp). It went on a lot when I first got it but I've plumbed it differently and I think that plus the I4 should limit it's use but I guess I won't know for sure until it starts to heat up here in NY. How do you have yours plumbed? It looks like maybe the return is direct to the tank. Thanks again, Matt |
