Looking great man!

In my opinion the major concerns of tap water usage aren't really phosphates and nitrates but chlorine, chloramines (many municipalities are switching from chlorine to chloramines), and heavy metals. But carbon usage should effectively neutralize most of these fairly well.

Yea. Last i checked my town had like -100 tds. But thats what i thought the issue would be. Aperantly my town has really good water. But they probably bleach it 8 times before it gets to us. So chlorine was my 1st thought. And its hard...it leaves calcium deposits if left out to dry

Got back from vacation lastnight.

Chaeto grew like crazy.

Of course the glass was all brown

Didnt see any deaths or anything so it was a pretty good trip. Cal reactor stopped working while i was gone so i have to get that all dialed back in. Round of tests coming soon

Not sure what alk dropped to when the cal reactor feed pump stopped working for a few days while i was gone but alk is currently at 7.7 so ill have to watch it for the next few days to make sure it doesnt go too high.

Checking over the tank today i realized the ato wasnt working. Pulled it all apart and have to replace a relay. Wont be able to get to the electronics store for the next few days so ill be adding manually. Grrrr.

Ordered another eb8 for the apex today to get almost everything automated.

Found a bunch of aiptasia in the overflow of the 93. Theres a few in the 93 display and a few in the sump. Not sure if peppermint shrimp will take care of the big ones or not but im going to pick up about 5 of them and let them take care of the smaller ones and ill kill off the others with kalk paste or something.

The rabbitfish has just about ate all of the bubble algae in the 93 but its collecting in the 30 so im going to look for a tiny rabbit for the 30 until its all under control.

Im slowly working toward getting my tank where i want it. Next major purchase will be for the rodi unit. Getting all the filters and accessories for it

Enough talking. Time for some pics. Excuse the terrible pictures. Since the rescape awhile back alot of the sps sit right under the halide and its hard not to get the reflection in the picture

Got my eb8 in today

Seriously need to figure out some wire management. This is rediculous

This thing needs a serious trim. About 18" tall and just massive. When fully extended its taller than the spainbow next to it

Ato is still broke guess the relay wasnt the only thing broke. Time to rebuild it.

Alk is 7.0 so i want to get that up around 7.7

Eb8 is basically all setup. Just need to finish up the lighting mounts then they can go online

Stopped by AP this weekend but the rabbitfish were too large for my 30. Need to get this bubble algae under control

Once all of these projects are done then ill get everything for the rodi and get some clean water in the system

My blue spotted rabbit is about 3.5-4" and he eats it all. For the 30 i need one like my buddy just got thats about 2". Since its the sps tank i may try the emeralds since theres not really any soft coral for them to possibly turn on

Nah i got those cheap frags and those freebies haha. Ive got a pretty bad outbreak so i may throw 1 in the sump and like 5 in the 30 and let the rabbit keep the 93

Underwater World sells Emeralds 4 for $12 that's a good price, lots of places want 8 bucks apiece for them. They are real cool though go for it!

Backstory
The first reef tank i bought came with an ato that looks to be diy. Theres no name or anything. Well it stopped working a couple days ago and i figured it was the relay. Replaced relay still not working. Thought maybe the relay socket. Replaced still not working. Replaced the extension cord. Still not working. Only thing that hasnt been replaced is the float switches. Come to find out the main float switch is bad. So now its basically all brand new. Just using the backup float switch until i get a new one.

New setup

12v power source

Tomorrows pproject is to pull the main float switch and find a new one. [MENTION=2996]Darienreefs7[/MENTION] do you still have the float switches?
