Sawdonkey's 220 Thread

[Sawdonkey]

Couple of nights ago I mixed up a fresh batch of Kalk in my ATO and usually I let it sit overnight before turn the ATO back on. Well, I forgot to move the sensor down and the pump blew kalk powder into the first chamber of my sump, where I keep my frags. The powder settled on everything and I nuked a bunch of frags and odds and ends I had growing down there. Only completely killed a handful, but damaged a lot of them.

So today, I rigged up a system so that the ATO fills into a different chamber. I should have done this years ago since my frags probably weren't big fans of the constant alk changes anyway.

The new Ecotech M1 return pump is ......well, returning water. I was worried that it wouldn't push enough water, but I only have it half way turned up and it's doing fine. Plenty powerful for a 220.

A reefer on r2r has his kalk going to a "media reactor" tube so that incase slurry goes it suposed to settle into the media reactor...an extra piece of equipment? Not really because its just a tube that gets water pushed through it.

I havent set up my kalk reactor but thats a winter project for me

Copps Efflo

BC Soda Pop Granny- nearly two years old and just recently started growing.

BC SunnyX Sunset- also a slow grower, but seems to be responding well to me turning my lights down a bit

Reef Raft Cactus- slow to start, but also seems to be responding well to less light intensity.

Thanks. The top down perspective makes it look cool, but from the from of the tank, you can see that it is covered in purple spikes too.

Ha! It can be. Just vacuum every other week or so. Do it right into a sock in your sump and you don't even need to do a water change.

My wife was just telling me how theres been alot of home invasions here in my town where they run in or break in and attack the owners then robbing them.
So atleast if that wasnt the reason and you and your family are well. Thats a relief. I am upgrading my home security from cameras to actual door and window alarms this weekend.

Stay safe
