Going to PA to buy corals doesn’t make sense. We have better access to corals here in NJ. People from PA come to nj LFS to buy corals. The coral farmers market in Connecticut is worth the 3hr drive. I will pass on this

This is great news! Good luck with the build

Hey if you still need one BRS is having a sale

Did you dose the same amount of alk and cal ? How often did you test ?

Wow 187 ml is a lot. What size tank are dosing. That’s very high demand. If I was dosing 187 I think I would also go to a calcium reactor. Right now I am dosing about 35-40 mill a day of esv alk. My tank is new and mostly frags. Calcium is set to 10 mill

I have seen a lot of people recommend dosing equal amounts. But now that we can see the numbers in real time we noticed that it should be only dose as needed

So in my last tank I only tested ALk once a week. I dose equal amount of two part. Alk and calcium in equal amounts. This is what I was told to do. What ever you dose in alk dose the same in calcium. Now with my trident testing 4 x a day I get to see my numbers for alk cal and mag I have...

Ati says bulbs should be replace 9-12 months. T5 lights are popular because they make a lot of money for LFS and bulk reef supply. BRS has been pushing T5 in their videos for years now. Now they also are moving away from pushing and selling T5. Laws are in place to stop making t5 bulbs...

If you already have t5 fixture then it’s ok to use. But if you are looking to buy a new light. You have to consider that t5 bulbs are expensive and will be very hard to find in the next few years. Just on bulbs a 8 fixture t5 fixture will cost Around $25 each x 8 = $200 and some people...

I like the Mexican turbo they grow big. I have two that are huge. It’s hard to see in pictures. I like turban snails and Trochus I get my inverts from reefcleaner and reefco

I have a 4 head jebao I would be interested in a trade for corals Pm me

Yeah but it’s not worth it. Aquarium kalkwasser is so cheap. It’s not worth the risk. It’s $20 I got this like two years ago and I still have some. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/kalkwasser-calcium-hydroxide-bulk-reef-supply.html

Kalk is really hard on pumps. It’s cheap but it has its limits. If you have a large tank it’s not a good solution. Kalk for the aquarium is cheap I wouldn’t risk using something that’s for gardening to save $20. If you are going to use kalk you should use it with a doser and not your ato...

The all for reef product is from tropic marine. Not esv. Esv only makes 2 part and magnesium. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/all-for-reef-tropic-marin.html

This is the video BRS did. I think using their 2 part on a 100 gallon tank That using one dkh a day is like $4 a month Dosing esv $8 a month for the same tank

With all due respect that cookie looks horrible. Lol My point is you need to know who you are. For me I like to make things as easy as possible. Dosing a homemade 2 part is taking a lot of risk with very little reward. Trying to find out How much to dose is not as easy as using the BRS...

This is a great response for a chemist. For the rest of us I think if you are just starting it is best to use something that’s already mixed. Keep it simple in the beginning and you can change as needed to make your own. Me personally I will never make my own cookies. I think homemade cookies...

Great article a lot of good information

The jebao dose works and it will do the job. I find it easy to dose ESV alk and cal it’s only $40 and it’s already mixed. What I would do is first decide what range you would like to keep your alk. I keep my alk around 8 Some like it higher pick a number and try to keep the range close...
