    Bare bottom reef?

    After being almost poisoned by silicone fumes (wearing a respirator is recommended), I sanded it and filled with water, still has the whitish appearance without the detritus trap that I wanted to avoid. Happy with it.

    Bare bottom reef?

    I went bare bottom after years of sand, it’s just too difficult to keep clean with rocks and coral getting in the way so I switched to bare bottom, kind of. Went with white marine board, siliconed in place, then sanded the board to create more surface area for bacteria. Been happy with the...

    Lesson Learned: Tight Fit Lid

    Lost a Gem Tang the very same way, forgot to put the lid on one night, I have a euro brace now and don't need the mesh any more. Might be worth buying some glass to create a brace if you don't mind that to prevent the same issue, mesh can be a bit of a pain.

    Clean in Place (CIP) Sump

    Good point, the overflow would need to be closed at the same time the return pump is turned off - I think thats achievable if I add a shut off below the existing control valve - Having the sump Isolated is definitely needed for Skimmer function.

    Clean in Place (CIP) Sump

    I want to have a way to clean my sump or keep it clean by having my Skimmer do all the work! What do you think of the idea of circulating water to create regular "turbulence events" with return pump off and skimmer on and one or two pumps circulating from the chambers you want clean to the...
