I always dip my frag plug in water. It helps the glue work better. It also gets the air bubble out of the frag plugs. I would throw old plugs away. Don’t re use plugs.

With the AP9x you don’t need the spectral controller. You use the kessil app to communicate with the lights. The AP9x also doesn’t need a dongle it has Wi-Fi build in. What I use to like about having the kessil controlled by Apex was that I could setup different schemes with no problem. I...

No it’s not compatible with apex. The kessil controller is a stand alone controller for the legacy lights 360we and new 360x lights. Before you could buy a cable to connect your kessil lights to the apex. I think now with the new lights AP9x /A500x Being wireless the integration with apex would...

This is cool. I have a kessil controller so I don’t need the apex to control my lights. I have the 10v connector to allow the older 360we lights to be controlled by apex. I am guessing the new connection will be wireless ( Wi-Fi)

It should the 2nd opening is very wide. It was so cheap I got two so I can swap them out easy

I got a 7 gallon jug from Walmart for $14 I use it to dose kalkwasser and I dose 1 gallon a day So the 7 gallon jug was perfect to hold 7 days of solution. One of the ends is a perfect fit for a dosing line. It’s air tight lock so it works for my needs...

At 1 I would change out my resin until I got zero

Yeah it dose contain all minor and major trace elements

It’s very concentrated I think it’s worth it. I was dosing 160 ml of BRS to keep the same numbers. I also like that it has all the minor trace elements. So my vote is for esv.

I just moved and I started a new tank. My plan was to run a bare bottom tank. My wife walked down and looked at my setup and she said where is the sand ? I told her I am not putting sand. She said that looks horrible. So now I have sand in my 220 lol.

I believe nothing gives you the stability of 2part. So I dose esv 2 part and that takes care of my alk/calcium My magnesium doesn’t really change. I dose 100 ml a day of alk and 60ml of calcium. I have trident testing all day so I can see how flat my numbers are. I also dose kalkwasser on a...

I run my AP700 at full spectrum and 100% at 12 noon. They stay that way until 4pm then they start dialing down in intensity and making the tank more blue. I also run red and green at 20% BRS tells you to run it closer to deep blue. I don’t like that strong blue light. I run the same program on...

I run a full spectrum during the day and blues during the night. I just like the way it looks. Full spectrum looks natural to me. I run kessil and turning off 1/2 the Chanel’s doesn’t make sense to me.

You would be better off calling the water company and asking if they have Cholorame in the water. Or you can check the website for your water company

For that size tank you can use Chemi pure blue It has carbon and resin mixed Boyd Enterprises Chemi-Pure Blue Nano Five-Pack, 110 Grams Total (1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013IPLPWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MKVYH51KK22SVC6EX558

I will also add this. Not all 2 part are equal. I have used I few different two parts and I can personally tell you. Esv is more concentrated alk and cal. I find myself dosing less when I use this product. Bulk reef supply is cheaper but I also find myself dosing more to maintain the same alk/...

With a tank of your size I would go with a algae reactor. Not a fuge. It’s smaller and it’s easier to maintain and clean. It’s also very easy for you to set a time for it to be on or Off. You can also control the flow that’s going to the reactor.

Carbon last about 15 days and should be changed at least every month. UV bulbs should be replaced every 6 months

It’s not fair to compare your tank to reefco. They have staff that clean the tanks everyday. They also have a lot of volume. The more water volume you have the better water quality. They clean the glass and frag tanks every day. He also has a army of snails cleaning the frag racks and floor...

I like it it looks great
