Steve’s Reef 265 Build (1 Viewer)

Starting to clear.

I think its the 40g of Kent salt I got and used. Then added 200g of IO to.

Hope I don’t end up having to drain it down+lose 200g of IO salt.

What salt? I did that too but you'll absolutely get residue that you don't want.

40g of Kent, 200g of IO. It’s the Kent. It was cloudy when I dumped it in (first). Added the IO afterwards.

Gotcha. Running out of salt now, but using my sexy Hannah salinity checker to mix it up

 

[steveb]

Lol...

Hopefully it will clear up in a day or two.

It should clear okay-running any filter socks?

 

[steveb]

Not yet. Water isn’t running through the sump as I need to put a float valve and switch in and add a baffle for the refugium.

Just running pumps in tank. Added DrTims and some ammonia this morning. Wanting to get the cycle started while I finish the sump and other projects.

Looking better this morning but still a hint of cloudiness.

Got the Vortech’s synched to the Apex WXM. Pretty cool.

Tidy up wiring, tubing etc.

It should clear in no time.

Yes the Eotech Reeflink is horrible...love the WXM module.

I've been pretty happy with my Reeflink so far, and I was a previous Apex WXM user. It's certainly much simpler. However, I have a simple setup - one Radion, one Vortech, one Vectra.

Looking good @steveb

Installed 2 of 3 canopy fans. Pretty happy with the overall look other than the last cut. Stupid blade bound up and jumped out damaging the top.

No one will see it but it still irks me.

I have to build & stain a frame for each of the fans anyway, they sit right at 1/8" too far into the canopy and won’t allow the light drawer to slide in/out.

Once the glue dries I will drive in a couple of brads, fill the gash and then stain them (or maybe paint black)

On another front water is still cloudy [emoji20]

Maybe even more so than yesterday. Save a buck to waste $10. Awesome!

water is still cloudy because you didn't rinse the ......you guessed it.....

Lol yah yah...

Actually it didn’t cloud until I added 4x10g bags of free Kent salt.

You should spend the next three years slowly polishing out that miscut.

All wired up. I wired on top as the drawer kept catching the wires.
