Re: Akwar'eum Too

As nice as the framing and the skimmer looks, I'm sure the end product will be spectacular!

Re: Akwar'eum Too

My...what a big skimmer you have!

Is that a skimmer next to you or are you just happy to see Gail!

Great work Greg! This project is moving along quite nicely! You don't look any worse for the wear.

LOL Scott you are way naughty!

Greg... no ketchup with the cold shrimp!? lol

Going by the way your first Akwar'eum looked, this tank is going to be doubley (? that doesn't look right) gorgeous. I haven't forgotten that you're an artist!

Re: Akwar'eum Too

Dang Scott! That was hilarious!

I hope I didn't build it TOO big. I'll try and test it tonight if I have all of the plumbing parts for the pump to get it going.

I think my size envy issue may be taken care of now though.

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
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!!

Re: Akwar'eum Too

Hey! Thanks for visiting Al! I promise to get back to visit yours soon. The cheato is hanging in there. I've actually got it at our house so it doesn't have any nitrates to eat. I have to put food in the empty tank so it keeps going.
