George, I heard really good things about the ROX carbon as well and decided to give it a try.

Great update Tim! How do you like that carbon? Ever run ROX and if so how does it compare?

New arrivals ... may be the first build thread to include clothing as part of the project but these shirts are pretty sweet.

You won't be disappointed, it absorbs more with less carbon and way less dust. Rinse time is more than half of the standard carbon I used before this.

Moving forward ...

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

Wow!! Very impressive. Can't wait to see more progress.

Some more new arrivals!

Oooooo what's the iwaki for? Are the American motors as dependable as the Japanese ones?

 

[Roberto CRC]

Oh men,this tank is really incredible , i only look in my dreams and R2R.

The new MD-100RLT (2136 GPH) pump will be used as my return pump for the new system. The MD series pumps from Iwaki use Japanese motors only.

Awesome decision, Tim! My Iwaki is the heart of my system, and runs like a tank! 3 years running so far without a single issue! I'm so glad I went with this over the reefflo pump.

Agreed 110%, Robby! I have been using Iwaki MD Series pumps for over a decade and they are the only return pumps I will use on a reef tank. They are built for power and built to last a long time in operation. A local fish shop owner told me he ran the same Iwaki pump for 20 years non-stop! I do switch mine out every year for cleaning and keep one of each model as a backup.

One new arrival for today. It is small but well worth the wait. I received a Jason Fox Homewrecker frag today.

 

[reefwiser]

So small I hope you have good luck with it. [emoji3][emoji106]

 

[aquavista99]

Thanks, Ed! I sprinkled it with magic dust before placing the JF Homewrecker in QT so it should grow into a small colony in no time. Actually, the frag is about averaged size for that coral so I am very pleased.

So small I hope you have good luck with it. [emoji3][emoji106]
