Here is a photo I took today that shows the chetomorpha pressed up against the strainers. You can see the light bleed through in the open spaces and that it is dark where the chetomorpha is. There is no light bleed through at the top as the chetomorpha goes almost completely up to the top of the...

It leaked somewhere on the upper portion, I think around the large O-ring. I am not 100% sure as I shut off the pump and removed the trapped chetomorpha as soon as I saw the leak. How close to the outlet is the top strainer on your ARID 30? Mine seems really close to me (~1/4" from the top)...

I came home to find a slow leak in my ARID. Some of the chetomorpha worked its way into the outlet which restricted the flow and increased the pressure in the chamber causing the leak. Is this a common problem? I cleaned the blockage and reduced the flow on my Vectra pump but the situation still...

How do you guys deal with the light bleed out of the reactor? With a reverse photo period, my fish room is lit up all night. I have the ARID 30 so the light only comes out the top. I was thinking of getting a custom cut piece of vinal to place on the top. I am open to other suggestions that look...

I added Chaetomorpha to my ARID for the first time yesterday. I also set up my Apex for a revers lighting schedule. Hopefully the cheto takes off!

Pecan2phat - Yes, I have a nice step ladder in my fish room as I need it to do anything in my 30" tall tank. I chose the Vectra because it is cheaper than a red dragon and I want a nice variable speed DC pump that I can control the flow on. Now I just need to get some Chaetomorpha for the reactor!

It took me most of the weekend but I got the plumbing for my Pax Bellum ARID 30 completed. I have not turned the pump on or leak tested it but am hopeful that everything works! Here is a video of the setup. I am happy with how it turned out. https://youtu.be/LGWM-NthRYs

I was not implying that he does not have the same setup, I just know for a fact that that is my photo and tank in the first post. It you want to check use chrome and click on the picture and click "search google for this image" and my MARSH post from back in 10/7/10 comes up. The tank and stand...

FYI - The picture you are using is of my 300 gallon tank. You should not try and pass off someone's photo as yours. Good luck with the sale.
