And another.

well I got it done and added some rock from my gf's that she was getting rid of. as of now I have about 200lbs of lr, a cs6-1 skimmer a phosban reactor, and a mag18 for the return. here is a pic I pushed the sand to the front of the tank, siphoned about 20 gallons of water/murk out of the...

I guess i am going to just take everything out and clean it all really good. I also have some limestone base rock that I think may not be helping me out any, it's gone... I will then take out alot of the sand, but leave enough for the look etc. sound ok?

this has been an ongoing mess for about 6 months. I feed maybe one to two times a week and thats about it. i am done messing with it. i have read that alot of people are having luck with the bb. I just dont' know what else to do. I am running a euro-reef, alot of flow. No phosphates...

Thanks for the replies. I have had my tank setup about a year now. It's about time to change the actinic vho's, but metal halides are in good shape. The sand that is in my tank is probably about 10yrs old. A guy gave it to me and I didn't know whether it was a bad thing or not then. It is a...

anyone???:confused:

I have been having major algae problems for a long time and everything i do nothing will help. The last thing I can think of is to get this nasty old, stinky sand out. If I move it or anything it's like a dark cloud. Would it help alot or would it be worth it? Please someone say something...

yeah I tested it as if it was going to be working in the tank. i just pumped water in with the co2 regulator closed like you said, and hooked it all up. it's all working good and my ph is about 8.2 during the day and 7.9 at night, is that pretty good? anyways it's holdin water and working...

Thanks eric I am trying to get it all together

Sorry chris, been a little busy lately. I will make a parts list up later today and post it on here...

Thanks kip, thought my regulator might not work or something. I got the milwaukee with the regulator and that is what i'll do.

Thanks schneidts. I would say about 325 total with reg, tank, pump, and everything. It should be well worth it in the long run. It holds about 12-14lbs btw. Does the solenoid have to be plugged in?

Can anyone help? This thing wont bubble?

i know but does regular water work?

could it have not worked because i just used regular r/o water?

And the regulator and tank. Please, any help would be great. I am setting it up tomorrow.

Close up of co2 intake.

I just hooked up the regulator to the bottle, but I don't know how to set it up? Make it bubble, etc.? Here are a few new/updated pics.

Oh yeah sorry the closed loop:D

I knew that you built the k-reactors, but figured you would go ahead and do a ca too. On the kalk reactors did you use the rubber gasket (thought you did)? Did they leak any? Mine leaks a little around the top gasket and I don't know what to do about it? Should I use some silicone? Or what...
