Thanks Brian! Setting up the reactor wasn't as intimidating as I had thought. It's pretty straight forward and I couldn't be happier. On a different note; I've been battling some pretty severe red slime algae bloom. Lots of scrubbing the rock with a (clean) toothbrush as well as the sand. I've done quite a few small water changes, but it still persisting. My halide bulbs were pretty old, so I replaced them yesterday, so we'll wait to see what that does.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I tried going back to bio-balls in the chamber where my overflow dumps into the sump. Well, with all the red algae collecting in there, I decided to pull them out. I have a suspicion that the commotion caused a spike in something because a couple of my corals started bleaching. Some more water changes followed, and now I'm waiting to see how it settles out.
It's crazy how a nice stable tank can change on a dime. I'll keep everyone posted.
