you keep your quarantine tank running all the time right?

Sort of. I keep it filled with SW, but I put the biological filters in the sump of the display when there's no life in the QT tank to keep it active....unless I've medicated the QT tank then I'll not put it in the display system.

Are the bio-pellets similar to the de-nitators that you find online for $250+?

[1mkwiet]

really not sure, but they seem to have the same purpose. Sorry I'm just not up to snuff on the de-nitrator system, but what I do know it seems the same idea.

hey buddy like always i love the vids but i would like to know what kinda pellets you use as a sub for vodka dosing ? ive been dosing vodka for about a month now and its a pain in the butt lol. but it kept my levels a zero

NP Biopellets. Places like premium aquatics have them...lots others. In Canada Oceanic Corals carry them as well. I highly suggest a rector with them though. There's a big thread about them in the reefcentral chemistry forum.

Great videos! Just put in the same skimmer. Still hear the white noise of the outlet of the skimmer. Just did a great DYI to fix the problem. Get mesh screen and zip tie it across the water outlet on the valve. I have it set close to yours and theres not even a ripple in the sump. I can't even hear the water splashing in the sump and there isn't back pressure on the system. Try it. Might better than the use of the airline in the valve.

Be careful with hermit crabs they are known to and I have caut many of mine eating my corals!

You may put some in until algae is gone and then put them in the quarantine tank. I much rather perfer snails
