Cobraden's 150 build

[cobraden]

I finally got around to modifying my plumbing to run the GFO/Carbon reactor and the calcium reactor. I didn't want to add pumps (heat) to the system so I am running them off my pan world circulation pump. Below are some pictures of the manifold I built and the gfo/carbon reactor in place. Will set up the calcium reactor sometime this week I hope.





Also looks like I'm going to be building a fish trap this week to try to catch my clown tang. That sucker is mean and I don't think I want to add anything else to the tank before he's out.

Time for a build update. This time its mainly pictures. I snapped a couple pics not that I've added a few frags. We will see what the future holds on their progress. Please pardon the bad pics. I have a great camera but I haven't put any effort into mastering aquarium photography.

I see a little bit of cyano. :( Corals looking good though

cyno pops up every once and a while. I don't worry about it. I goes away on it's own.

Thought I'd post a quick video of the tank as it sits today. I'm having good luck with coral growth.

When did you add more water movement, especially at the surface?

[cobraden]

about a week after you suggested it. See the comments from 7/27. I did get the Korilla pumps for more circulation.
