For several reasons I recently broke down my tank one reason was a loosing battle with Dino's. The more I read on this subject the more I become terrified of it.
I am taking advantage of this break down to upgrade to a 180. All my live rock about 80-90 pounds has been sitting in brute can...
Hi all I am planing an upgrade from a 75 to a 180. All the tanks that I have had have been single return with a sump/Refugium directly under the tank. The new 180 will be dual return and I plan on having the equipment in a separate room.
Now my confusion. I would like to split the return one...
So I recently started to battle high phosphates (.12 on hanna checker). I changed my GFO this morning and a 5 hours later I tested the output from my reactor and it showed .25??? Can GFO deplete that fast????
Thanks Dan
Anyone use this directly from an rodi unit to the sump with a controller like apex or rk? I am having trouble visualizing how to set it up? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Dan
I am looking to buy a controller but am not sure if I really need one. I am thinking I want to monitor ph, control a heater/fan and as an ato and wave maker. My question is what controller do you use and what do you control.
Thanks
I am looking to by about 50-60lbs of dry rock to start my tank. Tank is brand new no water no life nothing. I have read several threads that are at least a year old that talk about dry rock leaching phosphates and not to put uncooked/uncured dry rock into an established tank.
So my tank is new...
I am setting up a 75 gal corner overflow with a 30 long sump. My drain line is 1.25 and my return is .75. I was looking to use either a mag 9.5 or eheim 1262 as a pump (900 GPH)My return line will be PVC with 4' vertical, 3' horizontal, 2 90's, 1 ball valve, 1 union and 1 45 degree. This gives...
Ok so I was planing on buying a 40 cube but ended up with a 75 rr tank. I have a 20 long that I was going to use as my sump on the 40 cube. Can I use the 20 long for a sump on the 75? My stand is 18 wide but I barely fit the 20 long inside so I am not sure I can even use a bigger sump. Thanks...
Hi All I have had a 3" (approx) Maroon Clown in my tank for about 6-10 months a just purchased a 1" Maroon clown in an attempt to pair up. I am using the Separation Technique and have the small clown in a container and placed the container next to my BTA where the Lg clown stays. The Lg clown...
I am thinking of buying on of these but have some questions because I would like to place this about half way down in my tank and have it grow left to right filling in an open space in the middle of my tank. So I ask the experts:
1) can these be place midway on a 30" deep tank w/ 2x 250w HQI...
As you can tell from some of my previous posts I have been trying to dial in my CA reactor for about a week and a half now. I was running the effluent to a cup out side of my tank just to get the alk/ph correct. The tube from the reactor to the cup was only about 8"(a drip rate of 40 per min)...
I just installed a Korallin CA reactor and I want to test my effluent to ensure my ALK level in the reactor is set correctly. I am using a Salifert test kit which says to add 4ml of water of for the test. The test only measures up to 16dkh I need to test to 25 or 30 dkh?
Thanks
