Best reef ready tank deal of 2024 - whose looking for a new tank?

[FishingMachine]

For those running a current-USA 1900 return pump, about how high are you able to run the flow rate? I had to back it off more than expected in order to keep the overflow quiet.

Nice post up when you get them. Do you think he'd be willing to sell and ship? Also did you ever get the media holders for the sock tray?

I gave him the measurements for the media cups now. He’s getting started. Gonna send me prototype to test fit since the measurements are so tight. Likely going to be custom circular drop in cups, with opposite sides flat. Might be making a replacement tray for them to sit in (the removable black piece that currently our socks go in). I had a big convo with him today explaining everything, he says he can do it

Its custom so won’t be a regular product offered, if it works and comes out nice I just need to tell him how many to make and I can post a link here to buy them

Ugh. Can’t get my darn basement finished fast enough! I keep visiting my empty setup and imagining the end goal. Y’all are keeping me motivated.

I was running the DCT8000 at little more than half, I didn't notice much noise until the strainer clogged and the emergency drain started to flow. I ended up backing it down to less than a quarter because it was pushing to much flow.

Do you have other flow mechanisms? Wavemakers, etc?

 

[legionofdoon]

Yes I have jebao SL20, on the opposite side. I have it set on wave 1 at 100% with the longest interval.

The only sps I have are two Monti's that I'm trying to recover from bleaching them with too much light so I don't need too much flow right now. If I crank up the return to just past half it starts to move the sand around too much and I'm using the special grade.

New tank shots. Nitrites are ruining my nitrate tests but everything looks pretty good to me. I normally don't test much anymore but was curious and it was off the charts, checked my nitrites and also off the charts. Not much algae in the tank so not worried. I'm trying to keep this tank as hands off as possible but it's hard lol.

I just ordered mine. I did all the skeptical work as well. There’s a 1 year warranty according which I believe 100 percent. Other members have ordered and with those reviews I’ve decided to pay up. Etsy like eBay has a protection in place.

Congrats! Common minor issues to watch out for - few shipments were missing the lid for ato, and for one person they forgot the filter socks. they will send this out free afterwards but maybe message and ask politely to double check they are included. Also these were early orders, they might have added this to the pre shipping checklist
