A big +1 And with only misusing the reagents, you’re just toying with idiothood. If you were an experienced idiot, like myself, you would have knee-jerk responded to that so-called low pH and dumped a ton of alk in the tank and maybe some sodium hydroxide and whatever else you could find, to...

How are you measuring pH…..I’d first question whatever you are using to measure pH. At pH 7 you are looking at stuff dieing. So first verify you’ve got a good pH. And as far as you low alk / high calc....they are a balancing act...the high calc will drive down the alk.

Darren, glad to see everything went well. Looks fantastic….as expected.

Look here on Coralpedia.

Thanks to NJRC, John Coppolino, the Elks and all those who donated frags, a clam and an LED light….Feng at Red Sand, John Coppolino, Olivier and Greg (Whitebird). Good stuff! I didn’t see any of our members with their highfalutin cameras (for those who find highfalutin to be condescending...

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Did nothing fancy….went out to dinner and then stared at my AARP card and wondered were 40 years of my life went. Yesterday I was 18 and today I’m……..old! Thanks again.

I’ve never heard of a “refillable” cartrige on an RO unit. They are all fixed filters. Typically it’s (in order of water flow), Sediment Filter --- Carbon Block --- RO Membrane --- DI resin With RO units with a whole bunch of “stages,” you might have two sediment filters or two carbon...

Have you looked on Coralpedia?

I vote for Taz......:nevreness:

Don, you’re talking to a limited number of people who don’t have swimming pools for fish tanks. Not many of us use 1000W heaters. I’m a Jager believer, but they only go up to 300W....and they are glass. I’d suggest posting this over on RC or R2R.

Trivan, thanks for your concise DIY but I still have a few questions. Where exactly did you purchase the bearing and although I have large pullers, where do you get that mini bearing puller?

0.5 ppm phosphates is very high. You need to lower this number. What is your water source (tap or RO or RO/DI). Hopefully it’s RO/DI and if that’s the case, I’d start with water changes where you’re siphoning up the cyano.

I think you’re a poor parent! Taking away your kids play kitchen and basketball hoop….what’s wrong with you? Your kids will probably need psychotherapy when they get older. I’m going to be a nice guy and take away all that cabinetry and tank so that you can give your kids back the play toys...

I became “first hand” aware of the devastation of our reefs when Ken Nedimyer of Coral Restoration Foundation came and talked at one of our meeting about 1 ½ to 2 years ago. I dove the Florida Keys in the early 70’s and found the coral plentiful….didn’t even give it a second thought. Ken...

From the BRS FAQ: "•Bacteria require small amounts of phosphorous to metabolize nitrate properly and phosphate levels theoretically could be a limiting factor for this system. For this reason we recommend not using phosphate removal products like GFO during the initial phase where are you are...

I'm no expert, but I believe that you can't run GFO and bio-pellets together. You might want to look into that or hopefully someone here will know.

I say this with ignorance and the fact that I’ve seen their commercial too many times, but how about the Bob-o-pedic and save a few bucks?

What pump do you have? When’s the last time you soaked the impeller in vinegar? What happens over time is that the magnet (which should spin freely on the shaft), calcifies to the shaft. This causes for the pump to run a little “rough.” I’d first clean the pump well and see if that...
