I have tried this product a couple of weeks ago, based on rave reviews on the R2R forum. My goal was to remove some nagging bubble algae growing inside the overflow and I also happen to have some Cyano at the time. I did 3 doses at the recommended dosage and had to stop. It started causing some...

I'd like to get some opinion on how people run their bio pellet. This is my second time running a BP reactor. I started running it about 2 months ago, when PO4 was 0.1. and I think sometime during last week PO4 is down to undetectable level. It shows zero on Hanna checker. Obviously it's...

I have SPS growing on overflow. On the glass it might now hold well. I have the SPS glued to a disc then glue the disc to the overflow so I can move it around. Right now I have a 6 inch area encrusted with strawberry shortcake. It grows horizontal as a table.

If you have the money to burn go with 4 vortexes otherwise go with jebaos. I have used jebaos for years never had any problem. Vortechs have nicer flow than jebaos but do get noisier over time. The gyre is pretty useless in a 180. I have run all 3 in my 4 ft tank. Gyre seems to have lost power...

It's a bummer to lose a frag like WD. I myself won't buy a frag over $50 anymore. Why? There are a lot of acros look nice when healthy and grown into a colony. Plus there is a pretty high probability one will lose the frag before it grows into a colony.

Really nice especially the stand.

Incredible SPS tank!

Dose the same amount you would manually and test weekly. Unless your tank consumes a lot of alk daily measurement is not necessary.

Let's hope I don't screw up again this time.

Some updates tank pics of the DT.

The PP8 should work if you run it on the side. PP4 will be too small. If you want to add two to the back glass PP8 will be too strong. If I remember, your tank is 18" front to back and 5' long. These pumps are great but the controllers are lacking. It's hard to dial down these pumps like you...

Paul, let me explain my system. I have a similar sized system as yours. I feed the tank liberally and used up two packs of blackworms while you have used one. Although the blackworms constituted the bulk of food fed to the tank. I started using Reef Octopus BP reactor since Sept 2015 and took...

I think part of the reason you're using up pellets fast is your tumbling is too fast which wears out the pellets.

I will bring shrimp salad.

It only opens at night and it may take a few days to adjust. Some people trained their sun corals to open during the day.

Watched this on NatGeo Joshua Jackson appears in Years Of Living Dangerously trailer | Daily Mail Online Not really a tree hugger but a realist but trajectory is looking too good for the coral reefs. And seeing how fast bleaching can wipe out a tank I have no doubt about the 35 years claim...

That sucks. Possible to return it? Obviously a defective product.

If it was skimming fine and now it stopped it might be there is nothing to skim from the water. If the skimmer is over sized it might do this. I have this happen occasionally but it usually starts forming a head within one day. The key thing is to make sure you have a nice form production. Air...
