3 month video update.
I got some brown hair algae but I guess its to be expected at 3 months.
Coralline algae started grown on the HDPE.
Just started the 2part dosers this week also.

That doesn't look like that much detritus compared to whats caught in a filter sock. Maybe its the angle...

The truth is in your parameters though...how's nitrate and phos doing for you.

Also whats your feeding schedule?

Tanks looking great though! Thats the REAl test

Well thats after 5 days and the thing I like about the BB and the settling tank is its not braking down in a sock, it is settling in there and getting siphoned out before it brakes down my skimmer handles the rest

I only have 3 fish 2 clowns and a algae blenny. I feed 3 times a day small amounts of blender mush and live black worms.

Umm NO but ok lol
The noise in the video is from my other open sump on my 120 DT mag 2400 in my fish room.

Thanks Rob this is really just a holding/grow out /quarantine tank for what's soon to come :shhh::shhh::shhh:

Then it will become strictly a frag tank
