Rags2Riches - The Learning Curve. 125g

Very hard at work...

Here you see, next to the skimmer there are 2 grey PVC pipes.
Here enters my calcium reactor outlet and the ATO.

I support all goby purchases. They're awesome. Also the 40b looks good and very clean!

I hope all will go well when I introduce to dt... the clowns are showing signs of courtship rituals and the Davinci is the female. Pretty sure the lone surviving Serial Killer Squam Anthias and the Davinci are going to clash upon introduction. But I got a little "diy" acclimation container planned out already.

Oh and the 40b isnt mine. That's one of my local guys. I hadn't seen him since highschool and college days basically. And then we ran into each other at the lfs, and boom.

I am merely a broker for him.

@Janci ahhh beautiful and simple. K.I.S.S.

Love it. Thanks for sharing!

Just make sure the outlet of the hose from the ATO to the sump is always higher than the water level of the ATO + is not submerged in the sump.
You can do that by:
- managing the ATO water level
- have the ATO hose higher than sump level, so water falls in the sump

I have my ATO tube hanging as well and when ATO is added, I hear the water falling. My wife does not like it, but it gives me piece of mind.
Will look for a picture of my sump as I am at work today.

Thanks for all the tips and advice.

You too @Fudsey

So, as a result of the ATO failure (prolly my fault somehow I'm sure) about 7 gallons of fw rodi was dumped into the sump, so I waited about an hour, and checked salinity. As expected, 1.023.

So I whipped up 15 gallons (10%) of fritz RPM, and mixed to 1.029. Will do half of the 15g tonight, and the last 7.5gallons or so tomorrow afternoon so it doesnt swing back up too quickly.

Yawwwnn.

10k views is approaching. #R2R #staff and #reefsquad giveaway is coming.

Ciao

I have never looked at mine.

I have never looked at mine.

I tried to follow ur build, but it's just too much and too busy to keep up with. I barely can handle the 50 builds I follow. Haha.

Idk.how.some of u manage to keep up with so many threads. But then again, I am on Mobile. So that slows me down quite a bit.
