    BRS Dual Reactor

    Good Afternoon All, I have a BRS Dual Reactor running GFO & Carbon. After two weeks (regardless of media volume), the output depletes to almost a drip. The first to weeks the output is perfect. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it the sponges building up with debris? Can it run without sponges?

    Looking for a new skimmer

    I currently have a Tunze 9410. The skimmer is constantly a pain in my ace as it is always requiring adjustments and the littlest disruptions throw it off for days. I'd like to go the route of a cone skimmer with a smallish footprint and low energy consumption. Any suggestions?

    Miracle Mud or Fiji mud

    Why does this have to be changed out annually? Could I just layer new mud on top of old mud? I'm assuming they reach capacity and begin leaching nutrients....?

    Never a dull moment....

    Woke up this morning to a power head that had disconnected from the glass tank panel. Facing directly at the sand it blew a whole in my deep sandbed, and pushed the sand all over my tank. How bad is this beyond the obvious annoyance of redistributing and moving the sand off the rocks. I'm...

    What are the negative effects of vodka dosing? Does putting a bag of carbon in the sump accomplish the same or similar goals with less risk?

    Good Morning, I'm looking for some help managing nitrates. Currently my readings are between 20-30 according to red sea kits. I do about 25% water changes every four weeks. I really do not want to increase the frequency of these changes. I've thought of adding abio pellet reactor but I am...
