My First Reef. 40g

[ProfKhaos23]

View attachment 12592 let me explain this one. i had a large ph swing and since my tank is in my living room theres alot of Co2 so i plumbed my skimmer inlet out my window and the ph has stabilized. my daily ph swing is now 8.2-8.26 and since i live near a busy street i didn't want contaminates so i plumbed in a carbon filter. let me know what you think

Great looking build. I am also in the midst of a 40b build, contemplated the a150's but went another route. Kinda second guessing that decision after seeing how sleek they look over a 40b.

Thank you. Do you have pictures of your 40b build.

can you explain your herbie overflow?

 

[ProfKhaos23]

View attachment 12896 the upward pipe is an emergency overflow. the downward pipe keeps a perfect siphon. i added a ball valve (which i should have done a gate valve) to control flow to the sump.

Your tank is really coming along nicely. Do you remember my first reef? Didnt look anywhere near this good.
