Brando's Red Sea Max 130D of Fun

Upgraded pump for the rsm 130d.
I used 2 x eheim 600 and eheim tube. It is easy to remove the plugs on the stock pumps, but to fit the hose over the end as you see in the picture was not easy. What I ended up doing is heating the tip with a lighter and using scissors to extend the tube until I could push it.

Your going to go bigger after you just downgraded and sold your bigger set-up???!!!
Brando you always crack me up!!! LOL.
Bigger as in 75g preferably or max 125. Going to save a HUGE tank for when I move out. I find that the more tanks I have the smarter I get as far as organization and setup. Like on my 180 the stand was way TOO high for me and I got tired of hitting my head and working on a stepladder.
If I was going to do it again I would have made it an in-wall and made a separate equipment area behind it where I had my water mixing station. Live and learn though right!
Plus we all can't be lucky to have a gorgeous setup like yours
, but one day! lolAgreed!!! He kills me!!
I pleaded with him not to get rid out the 180....that he'd miss it....but he didn't listen
I have a mp10 on full blast and a koralia 1 on opposite side. I mixed up 30g of water and will do 5g water changes every other day to export nutrients. Once that is done I will add another K1 to the opposite side and see if that helps. If it does not get affected by the water changes then I may need to try red slime remover or something else.
What are your parameters, i.e. NO2-3, NH 3-4, PO4, etc.? What kit do you use to test them, i.e. Salifert, etc.? Is your skimmer in good working order? When was the last time you replaced the media in your GFO/GAC reactors? When was the last time you cleaned your WC container? Are your TDS from your RO/DI unit readings at 0? Cyano is almost always a result of excess nutrients, even low levels. The red slime remover does work, but if you don't deal with the root problem, the cyano will return.
I know, its a lot of questions, but ultimately, this problem is usually one or a combination of these issues.
Nitrates - 10-20 last tested, used API kits.
The media is only month or so old, but chemipure says its good for 6 months. Also runing phosguard and purigen.
I haven't cleaned my WC container in a long time, nor do I have a tds meter.
I'll be ordering new filters for my ro/di today, just need to find my wrench.

I'm getting a 75g if all goes well :
Picture of hopefully my next tank, has 2 glass holes overflows and return comes over the top.
I'm thinking of drilling the returns if possible.
Also plan for aquascape is use something like this
And set the rock on it so it looks like a cave/nice place to mount some coral.
My plan is stick to primarily lps and zoas, still trying ro figure out how to keep them on te sand without getting same in them :x
