    Dying from the bottom up?

    If your nitrates at 50 are in this tank, you need to fix that first and foremost. 3-4 50% water changes will get you back in line quickly. Otherwise it is going to be a long slow road to recovery.

    Dying from the bottom up?

    Flow, nitrates, PO4. I'd check those and make sure they're all within reason.

    Weird Nitrates!

    What brand of test is it? I wonder if it is calibrated for a certain salinity and the salinity being off confused it into thinking the salinity was higher? I would take a water sample, add more RODI and then run the test again to see if it reduced it beyond the ratio of fresh RO/DI to the...

    Return Pump recomendation

    When we were pumping from under the stand we were using a Mag 12 with the impeller from an 18. That pushed about 1500gph which was perfect for keeping the dual overflows quiet. Anything less than that and it was noisy as all get out. I don't feel like the Hydors push a long enough water flow to...

    Phosban Reactor

    Every 3 mos, when it stops bumpin along in the chamber or when your PO4 in the reactor is the same or greater than what is in your tank.

    memory card

    How many MP is your camera? I'd always recommend 2 cards over 1, but depending on your MP you might blow through a 1gb card too fast. I know I do on my D200.

    upgrade

    I don't think there are stock tank sizes that are 30" front to back, but if there were, that would be a GREAT dimension. Probably worth doing custom. We had a 120 that was 4x2x2, which is a decent footprint. Much better than the 18" width.

    Pink Acropora Millipora problems

    There are many sources of PO4 rather than your RO/DI. Food, carbon, etc may all contain PO4, and unless you're actively removing it (remover, huge weekly water changes), there's a good chance you have it in your tank. The remover should help you there. I have the colorimeters for each and like...

    Pink Acropora Millipora problems

    Check your nitrates and phosphates. Those are the things that greatly affect PE.
