    Alk spike with kalk reactor

    I wouldn't adjust the amount of media as you want to always use enough for it to become saturated during the stir process. The key way to control it would be to slow down the drip either with a control valve or controller or using a timer or some other method to turn on/off a pump if you are...

    Alk spike with kalk reactor

    What you need to do is adjust both the Kalk and Calcium reactor so they are both working a bit. You can do this different ways but what I would do is try to use the Kalk reactor to keep the system in the 8.4-8.6 pH range if possible and then pick up the slack using the calcium reactor. I...

    Strontium

    Re: Alkalinity Help I can't make the meeting this month unfortunately but should be able to start making all the meetings starting with next month's meeting. I'm hard at work at the moment on a set of projects I started a bit before the frag swap in the fall. :) Feel free to pick my brain...

    Whats too much weight?

    If the house was built in the last 30-40 years there shouldn't be any problem at all with the limited weight of the tank and water. Carlo

    ASM G4X Ozone friendly?

    Not really an issue at all with the levels people would generally run for a home tank. Carlo

    Can any Aquacontroller vets help on setup

    I read that somewhere also Rich but couldn't get it to work reliably for me so I still went back to running something with a bit more amps on the same line (via extension cord) to make sure it got sensed correctly. Carlo

    Sulfur Denitrator: Who's running one?

    sure thing It's not a specific product or anything. Just good husbandry. First if you are able to test 0.02 with a hobby test kit your phosphates are too high. Secondly any time you see cyano or any type of algae growing you know you have excess nutrients in the tank or they simply can't grow...

    Can any Aquacontroller vets help on setup

    A light or another pump or anything that draws more amps is the ticket. Carlo

    Need NJ opinions please.

    Nice setup, very similar to mine in concept with the skimmer pump(s) and regulating the flow. I think this is super important and something more people should do to get much better performance from their skimmers. BTW, if you don't need that egg crate I'd remove it. I've been doing some testing...
