    ATO and dosing

    I am trying to figure a way to make my daily manual dosing easier. Let's assume I dose ALK, Cal, vinegar, and Mag at 20, 20, 30 and 40ml respectively. Let's also assume my 5g ATO last 3 or 4 days before I have to add more water. Can I multiply the daily dosage by the number of days the top off...

    Fish food and phosphates

    I pulled few rocks out today and didn't realize the back glass has Hair algae. I scraped what I could but am baffled why this happened. My only thought here I have switched to the IO Gel food seaweed, cyclopeze and brine shrimp. Are these foods high in phosphates? Either way I will go back to...

    Rocks

    I am wondering if I have to many rocks in my tank. My theory is that they might be tightly packed causing detritus to build up therefore having high Nitrates. That being said I was going to pull the two worst HA rocks out and cook them. Now am wonder if I should remove a few more. Any thoughts...

    Deep Blue 48" light fixture problem

    This light has a terrible design. In order to change the bulbs you have to remove the legs to and then two other screws, one on each side. The glass cover should drop down on a hinge. I did all this and the cover won't move. I scratched the crap out of it trying to pry it open. This unit is junk...

    Some tank changes

    Today I decided to make a few small changes to my tank. First I moved the dual pumps from the back glass left and right to the sides. So they now it flows the length in stead of width of the tank. Next change was I put the legs on my light fixture and place it on top of the canopy. I did this...
