    Acro STN help thread

    Mr. Ignorance here! So both of you were seeing RTNing were also running biopellets. Where was the alk number? It’s my ignorant opinion that alk needs to be on the low side when running biopellets. Could you be seeing alk burn because of “relatively” high alk with the pellets? I’ve...

    pH dropped

    I would highly recommend the Red Sea Pro Multi Test kit that tests Alk, Calc and Mg.

    Reduce Splashing in Sump

    My bottom was open. However, it was more or less buried in sand with some rock around it. Closed would work as well. I also drilled a couple holes in the reducing coupling to allow air to escape. Oh, and obviously my drain lines coming down from the DT are 1 1/2 pipe. You will need...

    water quality

    I’m typically a slow-as-you-go type of person with the tank. However, your alk is burning high. It’s damaging! So I personally would start with a 50% change to get it down to something less “burning.” I say this with ignorance because I’ve never had 19dKH, but that is coral-damaging...

    Reduce Splashing in Sump

    Here’s the bubble trap I made for the incoming pipe in the refugium. It was made using a 3” by 1 ½” sanitary tee with a 3” to 1 ½” coupling in one end and a short length of 3” pipe on the other end. The 1 ½ hole in the coupling was slightly widened using a rasp so that the 1 ½ pipe could be...

    I have to agree.....nice pair of cans! I had to make my photobucket accounts "private" because of the threatening comments I was receiving, and not being addressed by photobucket.

    I've got plenty left. Let me know when you'd like to stop by.

    I agree with this.

    I agree with George…..all for adoptions. However, if I want a German Shorthaired Pointer because I’m a hunter, I’m not going to find that at a shelter. If I lived in San Diego, I’d just have to drive to the next county to buy my dog. Don’t punish legitimate breeders because San Diego has a...

    Lighting question

    Kenpa, I switched from T5’s to LEDs for the same reasons you mention……The cost of bulb replacement, cost of electricity, and heat…..and I couldn’t be happier. Did some stuff “color morph?”……YES. But I still like what I got. On my 90DT I’m running two Apollo’s and on the JBJ28, a...

    Arce's 75 Gallon Mixed Reef Build

    +1 for an egg create stand. A couple zip ties and egg create (light diffuser), and you’re done. The egg create is easily cut with a pair of wire cutters. Here you can see an egg create stand for the biopellet reactor, and a plexiglass stand for the skimmer on the left (sort of hard to see).
