Icp on alk is very strong. His alk is high and he might have a problem with his test kits. I believe the guys with lab coats. High alk 11 or 12 you have people that keep their alk that high with no damage or dead corals. When BRS did a test corals frags grow better at 11-12 alk. Red Sea pro...

The new Nero comes with a nem guard you have a old Nero. In my opinion that tang was already sick. They are strong swimmers and there is no way a healthy tang gets killed by a wave maker. Tangs swim all day in strong currents. I have two gyres going full 6k gallons on each and the tangs don’t...

I understand that. My point is there shouldn’t be a fan moving water around. 1) You should build a tank with a close loop. Best case 2) you can replace your return nozzle with a random flow nozzle 3) you get a fan that come with a guard Nero 3 or 5

If a close loop is not possible then. Replacing the return nozzle to a random flow nozzle can also help resolve this for $20

Sea horses should be keep in a closed loop tank with no power heads. That what I would do. If you need a power head I would get one that comes with anemone guard The Nero 3 or 5 pump comes with this guard build in. If you have ecotech they also make a guard to protect small animals

Zero tds is zero so if you are getting zero you should be fine. I have A 7 stage but I have a huge tank. I like the BRS RODi filter better than all the others. Chemi pure blue is for salt water and it includes resin. I haven’t used it in years since I don’t have any silicates. Chemi pure...

What kind of sand do you use ? High silicone can come from your sand. Not replacing your RODI will also cause you to have silicon. The way you remove it is by water changes with water that doesn’t have silicone. Iodine is low that could be because of you cheato. You can dose iodine as needed...

Those heater should be replaced every year. After a heater fails throw it away. It’s $30 to replace. Most tank crashes are due to heater failures. If you had the heater controller by a heater controller it would have shut off and that wouldn’t happen

I would 100% tell you get a heater controller. The inkbird are cheap and they work well. Get the Wi-Fi one so you can get a alert if the temp is out of range. I would also always use two heaters to heat the tank. It doesn’t matter what you use. If you have a controller that will do all the...

I would throw them out

I purchased my t5 used and they all came with bulbs. I will keep testing to see if the par drops. 1yr -18months is what people are saying. I only run them for 4hrs so I sure they can last longer. The bozily light that I am using is the same Manufacture as the lights in that tank. My lights...

I have a par meter so I am testing the light at different heights: for me 12” off the tank is best. I have another t5 aqulife fixture and I run two kessil 360we and that tank is at 10”

Look at this video. They are using $100 lights to light up this tank. It’s a 6ft tank

I have never put them that high. Don’t listen to BRS they fear these lights. I keep my lights 12” and I get really good spread if I had more sps in that frag tank I would just add another light. The tank and t5 is 48” By the way these lights can light the tank by itself. All you need is two...

I am currently using these lights bozily and they work really good. I have them with a t5 hybrid. (Aquatic life) I have them over a frag tank and I get a very good cover. They don’t ramp up or down. I just off and on and that works for me.

All you need is a $20 inverter and you can heat your tank since we are in our cars. This works we don’t have to have it this year. 2020 is a wash. But spring will come and we can definitely do this !! We can do it at a park that has a lot of parking.

I have to say that’s an event that we can do. We can have a a frag swap outdoor in a park parking lot. No charge for a table and you can trade frag or sell frags. This is a great idea for a meeting. We can have it outdoors so no one is worried about covid Maybe some BBQ
