Re: BigAl's slow chronicle . . .

Went to Lowe's and picked up the misc parts to get this Pump set up. Here's what I did...

#1 On he intake side of the pump I added a 90deg elbow pointing down to pull lower in the water column

#2 Added make threaded adaptor(s) to get it to 1" instead of 3/4"

#3 Added a "barbed" fitting so I can use "Flexible" tubing from pump to bulkhead going up into tank

That's as far as I got last night but it IS progress. Also work with my wife on her Aquascaping in her new 6g NanoCube. Got the rocks "pegged & glued". Tonight make up the SW, add sand and start the CYCLE!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
