RO/DI Unit Unboxing

I got my RO/DI unit in a few days ago. I thought I’d share some photos. It’s a 5 stage unit from Bulk Reef Supply. I plan on installing it soon.

New 75 Gallon Aquarium
Posted on | April 8, 2012 | No Comments
I finally bought a used 75 gallon aquarium! instead of a second freshwater planted tank, this tank will be a soft coral tank.
I need to get so e more equipment, such as a sump, overflow, return pump, heater, power heads, LED lighting, and various meters.
It’ll take some time to get everything together, but I’m very excited! I’ll definitely post progress updates as I put everything together.
Quick Update
Posted on | November 19, 2011 | No Comments
I thought I’d write a quick update on my 26 gallon aquarium. I still haven’t had any green water since the UV sterilizer got rid of it. The algae hasn’t been a huge problem, and the shrimp seem to be helping keeping it at bay. I also haven’t had time to install the inline UV Sterilizer yet. I may wait until I get a larger aquarium and use it in that. Not sure yet.
My red cherry shrimp have been breeding like crazy! I have tons of shrimplets! Anyway, I hope I can become a bit more active around here. Until next time!
No More Green Water
Posted on | October 24, 2011 | No Comments
My green water problem is gone, and my tank is looking a whole lot better! The UV filter did its job (after two weeks), and my duck weed has come back! Most people hate duck weed, because it grows like mad, but I like it because it helps filter the water. My shrimp also seem to like it very much. I did purchase a Coralife Turbo-Twist 3X (inline UV filter), but I haven’t installed it yet. Once I get back to a regular work schedule, I’ll install it and take the other UV out of the tank.
I’d still like to upgrade to a larger tank, but that’s on hold for a while longer.
Planaria Battle
Posted on | October 3, 2011 | No Comments
I finally looked up how to battle my planaria problem. Here’s a great article on how to battle planaria and hydra with Fenbendazole (Safe Guard). I started treatment on my 26 gallon aquarium today. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but the package of Safe Guard I got has plenty for a lot of treatments. We’ll see what happens. It’s supposed to be safe for fish and shrimp, so I shouldn’t lose any shrimp. I’ll update on the progress.
