Other updates:

I'm expecting my BRS order to come in this week so I can finish up the plumbing. I also have to order my lights (lumenmax elites), ballasts (lumatek selectable 250/400 watt), & bulbs (leaning towards giesemans 14k se). Gen and I are working on a design for a metal rack similiar to the rim on my tank.

My BRS order arrived today.

More schedule 80 plumbing (as if I didn't have enough).

4 deluxe BRS reactors and a Jumbo BRS reactor. I plan on using one deluxe reactor w/carbon and the jumbo reactor w/phosguard for the main display. One of each deluxe reactors for the frag tank and One deluxe reactor w/mix media for the quarantine tank.

Would you guys tee of the return or run a dedicated pump for the reactors ?

Any thoughts ?

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 12:56 AM

Phosguard and one very large 5 gallon bucket of carbon.

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 12:57 AM

(2) JBJ 500 watt titanium heaters (I'll hook them up to Ranco controllers).

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 12:59 AM

and of course to clean the tank...one serious Great White acrylic magnet cleaner.

I wanted to try the ROX Carbon, but it's quite expensive for the 5 gallon bucket.

How often do you change out carbon and GFO ?

**SaltCritters** · 09-25-2010, 08:56 PM

I change mine once a month. got about 600 gallons its cleaning. i use there double reactor.

It is quite exspensive but supposably it last twice as long.

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 11:34 PM

How many cups of carbon and gfo are you using ?

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 11:57 PM

Some other goodies...3 Ranco temperature controllers.

**gimmito** · 09-25-2010, 11:59 PM

3 titanium probes.

Here's a pic of some nice Fiji rock I picked up from Ted (ExtremeReefer) and Bill (CookieJar). They range from 15 lbs to a whopping 40 lbs on the one on the bottom. This bring my total to about 300 lbs and I think I'm good to go once I get my rockscaping materials.
