    Considering switching from Salinity to RC or IO

    Instant ocean, 2part to needed levels. Much cheaper and with more freq water changes much better growth.

    What Aquariums have you Visited?

    We usually go to Baltimore in March. They have quite a nice selection of various habitat displays. Their new reef tank looks nice but the coral is not real (sigh). The one reef tank they do have I think the 3rd level is a decent collection of lps (blasto, echinata, favoids) and several rather...

    Paly Remediation

    You need to hit em when open, I find it may not kill them but rather knock em down for a bit and then they come back.

    Tank temp check in

    75-76 in winter and 77-78 in summer. It may. to seem like much but with heat or a/c it makes a big difference with water evaporation and house humidity.

    sick purple tang

    Looks like ich to me. If he is eating and not bullied/stressed you may want to let him go through it to gain some self immunity. As far as I'm concerned once you got it in your system you got it. My fish had/have it and I let them go through it with the help of an inline uv sterilizer. They all...

    power outages

    I live where you have propane or oil for fuel, no natural has lines. Most will say Kohler is a true workhorse but I found them to be fuel hogs. Up to one more gal of propane per hour at max power for the 20kw I have. Mine is a honeywell that has a generac air cooled engine. Electronics are all...

    power outages

    Not to rub salt.....but I paid for it, a whole house generator! One that goes on when the power is out regardless of your presence. Where I live power outs are the norm and I can't count how many times in prior years it would go out while I was away. The frige food cost alone is a few hundred...

    Tank Crash good or bad?

    You probably mixed up some nutrients and everyone is feeding. Watch for a spike to your nitrates or phos as it can swing bad for your sps. You may want. To up your water change to 5 gal 2times a week. That what I did for my 55 and the corals thrived.IMHO

    GYRE Settings and Help

    Think of each rotor as a side. If both rotors are the same (either a or b) one rotor/side moves water while the other agitates it. When it switches the opposite happens.

    tank crashing. not sure why.

    Good to see. Did you ever determine the cause?

    GYRE Settings and Help

    If you do not swap out one rotor so it's both a or b on reverse all it does is create some turbulence and not really move water. When both rotors are the same one side creates turbulence while the other side moves water. When it reverses the water moving side switches. I like the pulse mode, you...
