geez, does the spending of money ever stop??????

Dosen't everyone wish that it will. Even if it stops on equipment .You'll still have to worry bout yout L/S and additives and the electricity bills

Anyway you do hv a great setup going on and am looking forward to seeing somemore pics.

Flametail and riot...thanks for the nice comments.

At least with this hobby you can see the results of the money spent and get a lot of satisfaction when everything looks nice and happy............until the tank crashes....you get a disease outbreak....hahaha...just kidding

early tests on the prototype kalk reactor look good. will publish pics in a few days.

Have now finished the kalk reactor and installed it. No more mixing kalk every day. It runs automatically for two weeks before needing replenishing!

To see the details go to the DIY forum and look at "DIY Kalkwasser Reactor".

Next project is a mini tank (1.5 x 1 x 1) tank for little crusteaceans. Tank will take water from my 5 foot sump n return, so water specs will be good and stable all the time.

After that, need to make wooden covers for the frame.

Then what? .........thinking of converting the condo swimming pool into a 20,000 gal reef tank, but I think the MCST might complain

have just set up a 1.5 x 1 x 1 nano tank, running off the sump on my 5 footer, so water quality is good and stable. Placed an anemone & two clowns in there, plus a few tiny shrimps..a la ###### shrimp, and a couple of other tiny ones that i forget the name of, plus a couple of really tiny gobies. Wifey likes small cute things, so the tank was her idea.

Will publish some pics soon, plus pics of the 5 footer after 4 months of running.

DIY'd a DI system recently - good timing as we had a cyanobacteria outbreak a week ago - now with water changes it seems to have disappeared again.

Pic below is of my DIY DI system. Also added a Skimz FR with phosguard and matrix carbon it it.
