Just got back from Coral Farmers Market, dipped and added frags to quarantine. Hooked up the Cole Palmer pump to calcium reactor.
Lot of questions in there. Is your tank drilled? If you don't have water in it yet consider having an overflow box installed. Check the local forum...
I might remove some of my RB and incorporate some violet, waiting to see some results. I still have MH over my tank though Yes I think flash or...
2 liters is a lot of carbon. Ii have a same size system and use less that one fourth of that amount. That much carbon can definitely shock the system...

Maybe I missed it but what are/were you basing the change out of gfo on?
