Nice , Thank you very helpful

BTW big fan of your tank and set up how is it going ??

Your welcome. I'm trying like heck to get my closed loop running. The Barracuda didn't get the flow I wanted. Chris at ReeFlo sent me a larger impeller and I just installed it today. Still not enough flow. I'm taking the Ocean Clear with the micron cartridge off now and going to see how much flow I gain with it out of the loop.

Chris said I may need to upgrade to a larger pump if this impeller didn't do the trick and he was willing to work with me on a trade. I can't say enough for ReeFlo and Chris when it comes to customer service. They are tops in class!!

Yes sir

Nitrites-0.00
Nitrates-0.00
Ammonia-o.oo
God I wish I had those params from the faucet

Mine has .5 ammonia
and 20-40 ppm nitrate.

I would not dechlorinate it then personally. Your fish must be happy :)

Im beginning my monster tank soon probably in your tanks size range. PM me the contact if you can for this excellent customer service I am making the stand and sump but I am expecting to get a 400 gallon maybe 5. But its good to get referrals when your dealing with equipment of this expense:headbang2

And best of luck with your troubles let me know how it all works out. :)
 
I use Prime because it's cheap and treats 2500 gallons for a 8 oz. bottle. With the way we MFK'ers do water changes we need something like this lol. Never really noticed what else it did sides dechlorinate, lol.
