I got a lot of goodies in the mail yesterday and had so much fun putting it all together (in the zone!).
Bubble Magus BM-T01 Dosing pump + accessories. The dosing pump has a micro-computer in it and it’ll allow me to automatically dose the correct amount of Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium to the tank in order to keep my levels correct for keeping acropora corals (the pinnacle of reef keeping!).
My weenie bike parts scale is actually being used for it’s intended use! Instead of using brand name aquarium products, for Calcium I’m using Damprid. For Alkalinity I’m using Bi-Carb Soda and for Magnesium I’m using Epsom Salts, all of which I sourced for 1/5th the price of branded goods from the local Coles.
Containers for Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium.
Computer all dialled in and ready to go.
Hoses in position on the sump.
The engine room (I’ve also installed a carbon reactor which is a lot more efficient than putting a bag of carbon in the sump).
Wow! I’ve never realised how high maintenance it is to have one of these! Looks amazing though!
