I've never gone without one on my 90. I think I have the 18 watt turbotwist and I've never had a phyto bloom, a parasitic problem, a bacterial...
So is straight up DI effective, just not cost effective? I assume its not as effective as RO/DI. If RO/DI water TDS is 0 what would DI be?
Everything I've heard about the octopus is fantastic.
This RO filter on marinedepot seems too good to be true, and probably is. However, has anyone ever used this filter? I don't want to skimp on RO when...
What tends to nip at clam mantles?
I've read stories about people's nitrate problems being greatly helped by clams. Luckily my nitrates aren't a huge problem. Best to just keep them...
+1. Base rock will become live rock, has no potential downfalls like adding live rock does (potential die off causing a spike) and is much cheaper.
As an added bonus, don't clams help control nitrates?
I'll probably get one when my light gets in. Who knows when that will be though. I'm not even sure if aquabuys has them in stock. It may be a month...
Reading your signature I noticed you have 2 angels. First off, a coral beauty and a flame angel are getting along? Second, they're not bothering the...
I mean good for tap water for humans, not reef water. Also, I know that there is no metal piping between the water source and my sink, its all PVC. I...
So as for lighting it sounds like it would be okay at the top under 6 t5s?
I am a reasonably experienced reefer now (although I still have very much to learn) 10 months into my reef. I just ordered a new Nova 6x54 watt t5...
I do know my town has a very good tap water, but I haven't tested it with a TDS meter. Are there clams that would live in a 90 gallon tank with 6x54...
Just to be sure, easy SPS such as Birds Nest and Monti caps and clams need RO/DI right?
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of drip acclimating. parameters can go wild in the bag. They don't quite resemble the tank parameters. Some people swear...
You can pretty much scratch my questions about SPS/Clams. I don't have RO/DI which would likely not go over well with these guys.
I went ahead and ordered a Nova extreme pro 6x54 watt fixture new with bulbs for $345. I don't have a calcium reactor, and I have a weird stocking...
I think I'm going to try to get a 6 bulb, but a 4 bulb with overdriving ballasts sounds interesting. I think a 6 bulb Nova may be the way to go. Its...
Anyone have any ideas for catching the little guy if he does show up?
