That's pretty impressive.

I just tracked the packages. The purigen, matrix carbon, and reactor should be here on Thursday. The pump will be here on Friday.

Sweeet. I hate waiting on packages but nowadays with gas and store prices for this stuff going way up online shopping is the only way.

hay i forgot to ask what kind of set up you have on the 210g. being that most of the build was based on the 300g.

On the 210 I am using an eheim 2028, an eheim 2229 and a rena xp3. I am also using a 36 watt Coralife UV sterilizer. The heaters are two hykor (sp?) inline heaters.

I just went and picked up plenty of media bags to put the purigen in. I don't intend to put the carbon in the media bags unless someone has a good reason that I should. I also picked up the hose to hook up the reactor and the UV sterilizer. I will be doing part of the plumbing with tubing and part of it with pvc. This was the easiest way I could figure out to put a ball valve in between the pump and the media reactor.

I also received the reefkeeper lite 3 controller today. I really can't wait to hook that bad boy up!

Unfortunately all of this is going to have to wait. My mom came by my house and picked me up to run a few errands and to go into my office for a little while. Unfortunately I overdid it so I am hurting pretty bad.

On aside note, the air pump is for the 210, not the 300. There is no need for air pumps when using a wet/dry in my opinion it gets plenty of oxygen and movement on the water surface.

Thanks, I looked around the forum a little. Quite a bit of information there. I need to spend a little more time over there, I have only started figuring out what all this thing is capable of.
