Thanks for the great video on the sump Sam! You can hit the rust on the hinges for the cabinet doors with rust converter. It leaves a coating over the treated area that will prevent the oxidation continuing. Just remove the hinges whilst treating until the product dries to prevent the brushing action splashing anything into your sump when the product is wet. Once dry, the product has a polymer coating and will be no risk.

Great video as always! Regarding the fleece bunching up. From past experience on the Clarisea : the fleece passes over several shafts/rollers along its path. If the roller bends under tension, the distance to the next shaft is differentit (center vs edge). This causes the fleece to bunch up. Perhaps look into the roller at the bottom of the unit, see if its possible to get a stiffer shaft.

I'd love a video on your approach to stability! Just how stable are your parameters, how much do you let all vary in a 24 hour period, how do you keep up with demand as things change with growth. I can't decide whether to let my alk rise and fall daily and dose the same amount every hour, or use my controller to peg alk to a fix number etc.

I use T-nuts to secure some strips to the inside of the frame and then used standard hinges that screwed to that and then to the door. On the end panels I used connectors called "Keku" clips to allow the panels to clip on and off. You can see more information on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3aWZZWVgMubidksi=tjesjFoUIuvl-tD3

Fantastic - love the high sal water change system It's very complex... not sure I could ever go that full on (even with the funds). What is a little strange to me is that you do Auto-water change plus reef moonshiners... in that - can't you just rely on the water change to keep things more or less balanced and then do an all in one trace (with maybe a couple of of important additions)? You have me thinking about my dream setup - think I'd be 1% a day autowater change, Kalk, trace, maybe AllForReef if necessary), skimmer, ozone and that's it really. I'd probably just get the Reeffactory pH or GHL and then that new KH Aquawiz (no calibration would be a dream). I'd want to be able to leave the tank for a month if necessary - setting up for that would really take some planning especially if I'd want a copperband :)
@ParkersReef
@ParkersReef 11 ай бұрын
Yeah water change alone isn’t enough to keep up with trace elements. We have a huge coral density for the water volume and some of the trace elements oxidise out of the water pretty quickly
@sunnygoold9449
@sunnygoold9449 11 ай бұрын
@@ParkersReef Yeah, I guess I mean that from once you got it back into balance I'm surprised you need to add so many individual elements. But there's not just the coral - there is the fuge too and they can really suck out certain trace. I'd love to run a fuge but I think the issue for me is that it throws the trace out by so much. It's also interesting (but not surprising) that different systems use different elements at different rates. Maybe that's the next frontier - trace mixes for groups of elements (and not colours). Maybe Fauna Marin would be likely to get there first if they didn't focus on just one method (their Balling plus something for CaRX) because they stay away from Kalk and fuges. Interested in seeing the upcoming interview with Claude on Frag Garage as Adam should ask him about all of that

Sure have and absolutely will not, in my opinion they’re overpriced and poor quality. I do have a leak sensor and it did notify me (was mentioned in the video), that’s what brought me home from work to sort it out :)

Great video Sam. I have been debating adding the KH Guardian for some time. I currently test alkalinity with a Hannah checker manually 3 times a week. Would you still recommend that the KH Guardian is the way to go in 2024?
@ParkersReef
@ParkersReef Жыл бұрын
Absolutely would recommend the unit, it’s incredible. However, bare in mind it is Ethernet only and not wifi, so if your tank is not near a router, look to add a Ethernet over powerline kit to your purchase

I've been dosing sodium hydroxide to offset the Ph from my calcium reactor in addition to kalkwasser. It's super caustic stuff and is exothermic when mixing up, so you have to be very careful with it (always add it to water, never water to it). Works like absolute gang busters to boost Ph, though. I was able to double the throughput on my calcium reactor and still maintain in the 8.2-8.3 range. Edited, because youtube seems to refuse to allow me to respond normally: The sodium hydroxide gets mixed up and dosed the same as any other additive. It is recommended to do it slowly, in small doses over the day, due to its potency. I only have to dose 300ml per day into a system with approx 340g total volume, on top of 6L of kalkwasser. It is an alkalinity buffer, so you'd be using that instead of your current solution and would need to keep on eye on it. The original thread by Randy Holmes-Farley can be found on reef2reef as "Second New DIY Two Part Recipe with Higher pH Boost".

I am decided to buy reef factory roller filter M size. So is it actually 7to15 cm per day of taking fleece ? Actually I want to know that with M size how many days will it last (M size fleece ) ?
