Tank Entry

So i started cleaning the tank today and evaluating where the tank will be set up. The tank has four 1" bulkheads on the back for the closed loop, and when the tank was taken down the closed loop piping was just sawed off in the bulkheads.

I have never run a closed loop, and I am planning on running my Iwaki md-100rlt for the closed loop pump. Does this sound reasonable at 1" ...

If you look close in the pic, you'll notice some white stuff floating around them. Sadly, about 2 weeks after all this, they both up and died. I was pretty bummed cause he was ...

Water Quality Log

I thought I would keep an active log to share with everyone concerning my water quality test. It will be updated weekly.
