6x2.5x2.5 Reef Tank Plans/Progress

Congratulation!!! Glad to hear another success with the use of UV. However don't make the same mistake as myself, turn off the pump to the UV and forgot to turn on and next morning the tangs get the ich again. Probably this shows that the UV did help to kill those floating in the water.

Have finally relocated my chiller high up so that I dunt feel the hot exhaust air...

Only issue now is the condensation causing drips of water but Max is going to apply insulation foam on the coils so that will eliminated the condensation issue

My New Fluidised Reactor by Reef Maniacs (Joe_P). The fluidization effect is really cool, product is top notch and of commercial standard. Thanks Joe!

Bro

Your chiller place so high, what pump you using??

[AlfaRomeo]

My Skimmer cup after a days worth of skimming and the skimmer is still in the process of breaking in!!! It can only get better! WOW!

My new Beckett skimmer by Joe_P. Its a 648 model. (6" Body and 48" ht). Very very satisfied with this and it has been in operation for 1 day now. Cant wait for the improved water conditions that this will facilitate. SPS time! hehehe

Scarab, Im using Eheim 1262 to power the chiller. Flow is kinda ok and tank cools down effectively so no complains. If i really feel like not enuff flow, can get a pressure rated pump and power the chiller and also my returns..

[AlfaRomeo]

Deepblue, highly recommended to get the beckett if you are not running 1. Very impressed with the skimate quality.

[scarab]

Wah 1262 can man. I also using 1262 to the same chiller as yours but the chiller on ground level. Didn't know it can pump so high up. Your chiller is the 1/2 hp one right?

[AlfaRomeo]

Yup, my chiller is the 1/2hp one. do you have issues with condensation water?

[scarab]

Yup. At first thought leaking but then taste the water a bit, not salty . Then ask supplier only found out about condensation.
