    Bio-Pellet Survey...

    I have been using a REEFOCTOPUS reactor with Vertex biopellets. I have used the NPX with a little success. The Vertex seem to be doing the job. One thing I have noticed it does not totally eliminate the nitrates but it gets very low. I have just re-added about 500ml of pellets so it takes a...

    Are damsels mean because we don't provide uv light?

    The UV light has nothing to do with it. Damsels pain in a tank and pain to get out of a tank. The can be very difficult sometimes teaming up to defend their area they claim is theirs against a lot bigger fish. The will lose in brute strength but will win in tormenting others. I have had them...

    sump/overflow help

    You possibly may have an air bubble caught in the down draft pipe. Its sounds horrible, I shake the pipe to move the bubble that usually does it. Or you can shorten the flexible hose for a straight run south, no loops. Take a picture of what you got going on. It might give us some idea of what...

    Off the Shelf LED Light Fixure Build

    Being an electrical engineer a watt is a watt. LEDs have their individual wattage, when you add up the clusters of LEDs that will provide the total wattage of the LEDs. Edited to remove commercial content

    back up generator

    A UPS is pretty cheap. I bought a 1300VA UPS and basically have all the essential pumps running off it. I keep the lights on a different circuit. Lights can be off for a long time but not pumps. I even have my heater on a different circuit going to the wall plug. If that goes off no biggy I have...

    Off the Shelf LED Light Fixure Build

    The only issues you will have are the following. 1.) The wave length of the light will not be suitable for growing coral. 2.)

    FESS UP !

    1. Temp acclimate only 2. Only check salinity on newly made water 3. Never test any parameters 4. Don't quarantine 5. Change water every 6 weeks no matter what. I believe in Darwin-ism => Only the strong survive, otherwise they are more than likely eaten by someone.
