Thanks for all of the input. Calcium reactor getting set up today by my LFS. Wondering if turbo snails and such can transfer problems in terms of disease, parasites??? What to do about that? I have no diseases or challenges with respect to that in my existing tanks.

yes, lights are off. planning on reef with lots of soft corals, etc. any thoughts on carpet anemones??

Wife is not happy but it looks great. the lighting alone and the reflection on the architectural wall behind it make it quite an experience. Cured rock has been in for 6 days. Sand for 3 weeks. Just wondering how much longer until i can add fish. Added bacteria to cycle about 5 days ago

here it is. still arranging rocks. they have been cured elsewhere for several weeks. water clearing. 200g, planet II lighting; elos skimmer; elos Biotopus II; ph, redux, temp probes, elos calcium reactore, 5 enheims, 2 vortex, arctica chiller

Okay. I can't get the image to be smaller. can anyone make suggestions?? It is too large to upload.

still arranging rocks but looks good so far.

WEll, it's big. Finally got rock in but sugar sand is STILL settling. Still need to finish arranging rocks. Don't have those photos yet but have these. Also need to do calcium reactor and some more probes. it's cool, though. one second and I will upload the photos

i have often found mine in the back of my nano in the pump/filter area swimming around.

i am fired up to see it too! I just need to get the darn baseboard installed today so I can move it into position.

that makes sense. i understand that ro water is so pure that it will leach the copper out of the pipe. i guess i can run a flexible line. darn. i paid bucks to put in that copper line!

hey, this is my first time on this kind of chat room and I really appreciate all the feedback. By the way, yes, I did reinforce the beams on the second floor - what a pain. Will do as suggested re the sand. Yes, I had to order it and it's been a pain getting it all in from Italy. The best guy...

yeah, i figured once i was in i was in. also have a rodi but that isn't elos! still need to get a chiller! planning on Tonga rock - about 200-300 lbs and 75/20 ratio of sand to crushed coral

have to get to bed but any ideas on reference sources, instructions would be helpful. appreciate it. will check in tomorrow.

elos 160xl, vortech 40s, elos 4000 skimmer, elos sump, elos biotech computer, elos planet lighting

live in l.a. not far from westwood.

call me an idiot. tired of the 24 gallon nano so went all out. now how the heck do i set it up. having someone to help likely but would like to have some idea of what i am doing. any good references? have sump, skimmer, computer, lighting, probes, the works and have no clue what goes where...

I just bought a fancy reader and it says my salt is low at 29 and yet temp is 76F and specific gravity is 1.025. How do I get the salinity up to 35 without raising the sg???
