six66 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 just what i had in mind im thinking of using this any comments on how to make it more efficient ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 You need internal circulation. Beside feed and exhaust. So need one small pump and one inlet and one outlet Regards Quote 6.5 * 2 * 2 + 3.75 * 1.5 *1.5,(Decomn on 14/9/08) 4*2*2 + 2.5*1.25*1.25 (Decomn on 1/8/09) 5*2*2 (Fully LED light system, 140 3 watt SSC leds with 60 degree lens)(Decomm) 2.5*2*2(Fully LED Light System,96 3 watt SSC leds with 60 degree lens)(Decomm) 5*2.5*2(LED only) Eheim return 1 * pump 1 HP Daikin compressor with cooling coil 2 Jebao OW40, 1 ecotech MP40, 1X6085 Tunze wm, 1 CURVE 7 Skimmer 1 DIY 80 led control by Bluefish mini 1 radion XR30W G2, 2 Radion XR15G3 Sump area lite by 5 ft T5 , 6 * SSC 3 watt red LED for refugium 1 Full spectrum E27 led light 1 CR control by bubble count Start No Water Change since 1st Dec 2016 Add new 2.5x2x 1.5 ft [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six66 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 how do I balance out the pH ? manual ? auto ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavgi Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 i did my the same and i use 2 of them connected in line . i feed them with small maxi jet (without internal circulation) and it's reduce the nitrate in the effluent after 1 week to zero . it's need this time to create bacteria inside the reactor and when you smell the "egg smell" it's mean it's in good shape and start to work. you can squeeze to the reactor some dirty filter bug (if you use them) and process will be shorter .

acontia Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 i've beed using sulphur for a very long time, and have tried both with and without the recir pumps. IMHO go for the recir (with good flow) and stick a ORP probe in there. it will give u more time to enjoy your tank.... ohh if running the recir sulphur reactors u don't really need that big a volume... also don't use too much sulphur media... they can handle lots of water with very little media needed. as for the neutralizing of the acids in the reactor, get courser media (hydro carbonate from A Medic) if not they might fuse and clog the flow within the reactor. thear down the reactors every 6 mths for washing or else they'll get out of control ( too effecient ) one thing that i notice running sulphur reactors.... they depress your tank ORP levels so if u run it with O3 then no/less worry/concern. happy reefing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 So what pump you use for the internal circulation?
