@rickyricardo75 I got it from my local fishstore, they are well equipped with U-PVC parts, but I find similar in my local hardware store... as it is only a few euros in cost, I did not bother. What country are you calling from, and I could try and help
Dose something like neo phosphate to get it up to 0.05 - 0.1 Also turning the skimmer off will help. There is no need to run it without fish. Your stripping the water to much. Its not helping your coral.
@ricotter9233 Thanks! I actually did not consider turning it off... weird, hm, I like the skimmer to safe-guard the aeration of the water, but, you are correct...
If you’re not adding fish for now and experiencing low NO3/PO4 why bother with an algae reactor or uv for now? Dehumidifier or put a lid on the tank and /or sump to decrease evaporation.
@MW-ut3dk fish are planned back in april, then I need the UV to be ready, before that off... with 8ppm in Nitrate and 0.02 in Phosphate, no, I agree no need to do algae reactor.. In the long run the algae reactor appeal to me as an organic way of increasing the PH, by consuming CO2 in the water... also that it is organic absorbation of nutrients, hopefully removing some of the green algae on windows... I am thinking CO2 scrubber, but, want to help stabilize pH by other means before that.. Lid on the sump on its way, I hope to get RH below 45% by that... I am running de-humidifier during night, at daytime it is too loud... so, have you got a de-humidifier that is silent to recommend I would love ti
Sorry didn’t followup to your answer. Every dehumidifier I’ve ever used is noisy, no matter the price. I just ordered the best rated one on Amazon here in US. When I started my upgrade reef I qt’d everything, fish, corals, clean up crew, just to avoid the problem you’re experiencing. Think that was the best thing I ever did and recommend it highly.
I am actually running one, without de-humidifier the RH is 60-62%, with de-humidifier I can control it down to 45-50%, but, my unit has a scroll fan, so it is loud, that's why I want to solve the original problem.
@varusso Thanks anyway, no offense! Have a look at the 5 month status what you think of the development. but also please share how you prefer the build instead of this...
@varusso My idea is to try and get the space to have large colonies, but these'll take me like 12 months or so to establish... and also I want to have the ease of pruning them... but also being able to dissassembly the tank aquascape in case of silicone issues.. I am not there yet, but, I would love to get your input direction in the steps ahead
Love the scape 💯✌️🔥👌
It is getting there.. I need to step it up
where did you get that pvc pipe support (on your glass?) for your elbow pipe on 2:18

@massimosaquatics any suggestions?

Pick up a dehumidifier.

Sorry bro. No hate. Your aquascape it's just terrible
