I'm one who would disagree with this. Read here: http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/diatomandslimemicroalgae/a/redslimealgae.htm

I would do the 4 gal. wc every week instead of doing 8 every other week.

Any chance of allelopathy, sweeper tentacles of neighboring corals?

May meeting is South, Swedesboro if I'm not mistaken. So, that one shouldn't be too far for you.

Here's a couple of good articles with UV info: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2009-04/newbie/index.php http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-10/sp/feature/index.php

Welcome aboard Josh.

Rich has a beautiful tank, and always has great frags. Shouldn't pass this one up.

He didn't live in Longport did he?

I agree that it's best to run individual reactors for each, both because of the change out differential, and flow rates. But, with a tank of your size, you'd have very little media in each reactor, and could run them both in one. If you did run two reactors, you could also run both off of a...

I agree, worthy investment. Are you going to run your GFO and GAC in the same reactor?

No two systems are exactly alike, but I have been running bio-pellets for about 8 month's now, and I didn't replace either my GAC or GFO. Although I did start of by re-purposing my BRS GFO reactor as a pellet reactor for a few month's during the start up phase. I have since brought my GFO back...

Anyone have experience with these folks?

Better?

As long as the pellets are Polyhydroxyalkanoates, or PHA, it doesn't matter what name is on the label. BRS are these pellets, and I'm sure they're a re-label, as well as many of their other products.

I bought a Reef Octopus BR-110, and added an Eheim 2000 Compact+ pump. Works great, the reactor is a real bullet proof device, I have the pump set to it's lowest setting - 265 gph.
