@junioribanez66 That video was done 3 weeks before my unexpected heart attack. I just thought I was out of shape, but was having congestive heart failure. The artery that feeds the lungs had a 100% blockage. I happened to recognized it, called 911, paramedics just down the street and cardiac center 15 mintutes away. I was in surgery in 30 minutes. I'm a lucky guy!!!!

Very beautiful tank. Just wondering how do you keep you water so clear? How often do you do water changes?

[jeffrichardson23861]

@SugarMagnolia100 A couple of secrets I think; 1) water motion high (2500GPH from from sump, 1500GPH from Vortec Pump), 2) good protein skimmer rated at or higher than water volume (AquaC ev240) with 1800 GPH pump, 3) I add 5ML of vodka for 3 days, every 2 weeks (my total water volume is 300Gal.). Vodka causes the microscopic algae to grow fast and get captured by Protein skimmer. 4) I make my own saltwater from RO/Dionizer.

@jeffrichardson23861 Sounds like a hell of a setup. Ill be looking forward to the video!

[jeffrichardson23861]

@my89tube I plan on doing a video of sump soon. Sump is outside in a external cabinet. All plumbing runs outside. EV240 skimmer, barracuda pump, 2 30 gal drups for salt water production, 100 gal old acrylic tank modified for sump, section with refugium...Just added a sulphur reactor to reduce nitrates. Nitrates had been climbing for 2 years. Finally it appeared to be affecting coreal.. Sulpher reactor working great. Water produce has 0 nitrite and 0 nitrates...
