Hardware
Tank: Aqueon 135 Gallon 72.5" L x 18.5" W x 24.5" H
Stand: DIY 75.5" L x 20.75" W x 32.75" H
Filter: CPR 102 Overflow, Tom's Aqua Lifter, Using Visio 55 Gallon as a sump, Jebao/Jecod DCP 8000 (set at 46%)
Filter Media: 15 LBs of Pumice Stone
Lights: 3x SBReefLights Fresh Water Basic (Reds 30%, Blues 15%)
Co2: DIY Regulator, 20# Tank, Ista Check Valve, 4.5" x 20" Cerges Reactor, Powered by Jebao/Jecod DCT 6000, set @ lv 3
Misc: Jecod/Jebao RW-8 for extra flow in the main tank
Originally had a wet/dry filter but i think i was degassing too much to get the benefit of how much co2 i was pumping in (100 mL/min)
Current Dosing Regime
KNO3: 10 ppm, tap is 30-40 ppm already
K2PO4: 1 ppm PO4 3x a week
K2SO4: 8 ppm 3x week
Plantex CSMB: 0.116 fe ppm
FE DTPA 11%: 0.18 ppm
MgSO4: 2.5 ppm 1x week, right after water change
Whats in the tank
Substrate: 150 LBs of 20-40 Grit Black Diamond Blasting Sand
Current thoughts:
need to kill the BBA on my buces
