Look'n good!

So the 1/3 HP chilller is making a big difference for you?

Thanks..

The tank is 84"x26"x24" (225g) and made by AquariumForYou in NJ. They make great tank, IMO. And never had an issue with it.

Bax.. Thanks!!

I didn't think it would that much of a difference ,but it seemly does. Normally my 1/4 HP chiller would run for about 20-25 mins at a time, but the 1/3 HP only take about 15 mins to cool the tank. Also the 1/3 HP use less electricty than the 1/4HP.

Well.. It has been ages since I posted anything on this thread. Here is a little update. I decide to change out my H&S Calcium Reactor (FS3000) and replace it with a dual chamber reactor made by Bob at Reefmania.net. The main chamber stands 36" over all, 8" in Diam and filled with larger schuran type media. The second chamber is 20", 6" diam and filled with Arms Media.
With the help of Bob I was able to customized the reactor to operation very similar to the Schuran Reactor. It is design to use all the CO2 instead of letting the excess bleed back into the tank. It has been up and running for about a week now and my Alk is steady at 9 and my Ca is 410.
If anyone is looking for a very well built and designed Calcium Reactor or any other equipment don't hesitate to give him a call, since Bob does it all. He is great to work with and open to any modifications. I also have a Kalk Reactor from him.

Hey Lunchbucket.. Thanks..

I saw that you sold your RM reactor and I was very temped ,but I just need a bigger reactor. And yeah.. I passed on the effluent meter. Didn't think I needed it.

Yes.. Bob at Reefmania does great work!!! Every piece of equipment I have gotten from him is top of the line!!! I am now thinking about getting Bob to make me a new skimmer..

Typhon,

Beautiful tank, I like the different colors.

I'm looking at your pictures and was wondering does the front and rear panel sit on top of the bottom panel of glass and inside the side panels?

Joseph
