    Fish room build “this is the way”

    Awesome set up, boy do I wish I had a basement. I’m getting to old to work in that little space under the tank. lol Maybe you should have a aggressive fish only tank on the system this way you could get some cool angels and others that don’t play nice in a home reef. plus they will add...

    Hanna ULR phosphate checker

    Never made sure the stamp was facing the same way but I am very sure there is no fingerprints or scratches on the vile. They are perfect and I clean the hell out of them right before they go into the checker with micro fiber.

    Hanna ULR phosphate checker

    "Natural" Filtration

    I have had (bay tanks) in the past and wasn’t able to keep them alive. most aquariums just don’t have enough nutrients to keep them going. I think you will have to feed them to keep them for the long haul. Good luck

    Torch Names/Descriptions

    Just another reef cycle, coral costs go up and down by availability and forum buzz, ohh I gotta have it, wham price goes up. All coral venders put there own name on existing coral and try to charge more. Granted there are truly rare and beautiful specimens out there that will always command...

    Cyano - Can't get rid of it!

    Yes I can, you can run a second dose after a week or two. Worked miracles for me. Your carbon dosing, and I have to dose nitrate and phosphate to have detectable levels. Crazy how tanks can be so different.

    Changing filter socks

    I store them in a Rubbermaid tote with a tight fitting lid. And in any case mold wouldn’t matter even though I have Never had any on my socks. I wash them in the washing machine with a cup of bleach and two rinse cycles and then I let them air dry before I use them so the bleach would kill the...

    Changing filter socks

    I change them as soon as they overflow. Until then they are working perfectly. I also tried floss cups it really didn’t work for me. Maybe if I could have had multiple cups it would have worked but one would overflow in a day or two. Not worth it. My 4x14 sock lasts about 5 days I have...

    Alkalinity levels

    I ran my alk at 7.6 for numerous tanks and had great results. Don’t chase a phantom number, decide where you want to be and let it consistent and you will do well. The only reason I went a little higher then that was because when I would buy coral I would always ask where the alk was in there...
