No water change in 2years how is this even possible ? AmazingI forgot to mention I have not done a water change in 2 years
What’s an algae scrubber ?No skimmer? What are your nutrients and display size? Man I am really turning towards setting up an algae scrubber...
It’s a stronger more efficient version of a chaeto refugiumWhat’s an algae scrubber ?
Thank you. I tried to think about where I might be with this in 5 years, and 10 years and knowing almost nothing about any of it, learning as I go, I decided to leave space "in case". Or I hope I did that anyways.Like super impressive wish I had the ability to set up a sump like this so many extra options you can use the sump for genius
Is this something you bought or made yourself ?Here are some pics. it self regulates. If I feed more, it grows more algae. If I feed less I just need to wait a little longer between harvesting. My numbers are always the same in 2 years of monthly testing. With no skimmer and no water changes, I have no other form of nutrient export to achieve my success
Beautiful set ups everybody!! Guess I'll be the 1st to represent the hot mess, let nature do its thing, sumpers... its low maintenance, all function/no beauty, and any piece of equipment can be removed for service in less than a minute without disrupting anything else. I wish I had more than a 8'x5' room for the tank. You may want to sit down for this...
That's been running just over 9 years.. there are socks that don't get cleaned or replaced, just there to contain microbubbles from drain. A skimmer, and full siphon drain dumping into unmaintained refugium. Carbon dosing does the heavy lifting, fuge protects from bottoming out(easy recognize decline as it dies back, supplementing the tank with its nutrients as it dies). That's it. The rest is for dosing, a chiller, battery backup, etcHow long have you been running it for
What kind of filtration your running ?
i was just sick of having abunch of pumps running different stuff . i had a spare pump so i made a manifold and just hooked up one pump to run everything but my main returnVery pretty sump I do say myself and smart
What tech you running ? I see multiple outlets there ..
Bottom tank red equipment piece on left side chamber of tankHere's my setup. I run a separate refugium tank plumbing into my sump. I now use a cheap LED grow light from Home Depot and the chaeto grows like crazy. I set it up this way so I could run my main sump with no baffles, super simple.
How do you like the turf scrubber so far?Aquamaxx Filter roller, bubble magus curve 7, and icecap turf scrubber. I also have some rock in the bottom to help keep some pods safe and thriving.
I like it so far, works really well, I only run it a few hours per day.How do you like the turf scrubber so far?
