Tank Update
Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:10 am
Got the new skimmer installed yesterday, Octopus Extreme 200, glad the wife dosn't ever look under the tank . Its strating to put out a bit of of the brown stuff but I think I need to take the filter sock out of the sump and see what it can really do. I am glad I had some SW mixed up, that thing really holds alot of water compaired to the old skimmer. The gfo/ carbon reactors are doing their job and the refugium is doing good also. The Cheato dosn't seem to be growing yet but its still green so I guess thats a good sign. Ordered a duel doser yesterday for the 2 part and will get that hooked up when it comes in. Next up on the list will be a controller of some sort. I will have to find a smart person to help me get that set up I think . I wanted to get a bigger skimmer for the new tank that I want. but I changed my mind. I am just going to set the 125 up with SPS corals and see how I can do with that. If everything goes good I can upgrade to the larger tank down the road,if not I will just keep what I have.
