Keith’s 50 gallon low boy fish room
- Thread starter dlux5life
- Start date
Also picked up a few frags. Rocks have been cooking in the tank below for about 3 months. Parameters have been stable with dosing small amounts of Kalk.
Got a six line wrasse on the way. Prioritizing bug control in the frag tank over algae control with tangs.

Did a little work cleaning up some wires and got the dos in position.
Also got a large kalk storage container, upgrading from 5 gallons to 20 gallons. Built a little pipe contraption that looks like a ships anchor, that i put my dosing line in to. This will let me pull all but the last inch or so of water from the kalk reservoir.
The 5 gallon bucket of kalk was lasting about 4 days. I’m hoping to get more like 2 weeks out of this 20 gallon set up.

Welp…. Gotta say I am having some sh** luck with my equipment.
Tunze Osmolator was shipped to me with a crack in the high water sensor. It had been acting odd intermittently with high water codes, and then after I did a water change where the sensor was submerged for 15 minutes, I couldn’t get it to work again.
My two bashsea canisters are leaking from the top. A screw on each canister is stripped creating a lack of pressure on the large o ring. Email response from bashea was less the helpful with an acccusitory, we didn’t send them to you this way tone. I know you didnt send them that way. My issues is more with the design of the product and materials used that would allow this to happen so easily with in a month of operating.
My maxspect gyre xf330 has stopped spinning. And appears stuck. I can spin the blades by hand with little resistance, but when plugged in, the motor kind of grinds a few times never being able to start and then shuts off.
I’m waiting for responses back from tunze and maxspect about warranty replacements. The bashea reactors are likely going to be a self repair. Not looking to pay for them to potentially fix their poorly designed product. I’ll likely get a tap and dye set and some stainless or plastic hardware to make the repair myself.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from those things. The chunky brs jumbo reactors would have been the way to go. Lesson learned.
Any help / suggestions / tips on navigating this would be appreciated!
