    Water Flow....

    2 45 degree would be the same as one 90 degree I would think although I havebeen told to use flex pipe to make my bends. I know that a 90 degree elbow takes away 1 foot of head. I believe the decrease in size increases the presure, as we had to decrease the water pipes in our body sprays in our...

    Alk and Calcium

    Yes and it would be nice if we could post the answers all on one post and not several as I had to do here. Peter, you need to get your alk up but it will be a nasty little cycle, because as your alk raises, your calcium lowers. It is best just to find a happy medium and stay there. You can try...

    Alk and Calcium

    Baking Soda: The common culinary ingredient, sodium bicarbonate, is an often used and abused method of increasing the pH/alkalinity of an aquarium system. Unsupported, however, it is only temporarily effective and it is easily misapplied (spiking and stressing the system). Although it is the...

    Alk and Calcium

    Options for maintaining Calcium and Alkalinity My ultimate advice for aquarists regarding supplementation here is to use kalkwasser (calcium hydroxide) in combination with a deep sand bed (fine aragonite) and/or a calcium reactor. These combinations are time-tested (20 years) and reliable...

    Alk and Calcium

    The Guidelines For most marine aquariums, calcium is recommended within a range of 350-450ppm. Alkalinity is recommended with a range of 8 to 12 dKH. Reef aquarists with very large populations of stony corals or with fast growth as a priority, however, may entertain levels somewhat higher...

    Alk and Calcium

    One of the most frustrating aspects of reef keeping for aquarists is undoubtedly water chemistry. Aquarists without a formal education in the sciences may find the challenge to understand the relationship between calcium and alkalinity in reef aquariums formidable. Adequate and consistent levels...
