No circulation neccesary. Just an airtight container, since RODI will pretty much pull anything out of the air. Since RODI has nothing in it,...
The algae blooms aren't a concern if there's no phosphates. Algae needs both to grow.
I think a pH of 8.27 is just fine, so nothing needs to be added to change it.
Hrm, it drops? Would that be when you add your topoff water?
I would do a water change, like 50%, and put a fish in. That way, you have nitrates of 40 (which is high, but not too horrible for fish), and you...
Each head needs to be fed separately. Once the tissue splits, they don't share nutrients.
Er, a skimmer keeps you from having to do as many water changes. It probably cuts down on the number by about half, if not more. Even if your time...
I would just pull out as many of the snails as possible to keep from getting a ton of ammonia in the tank. That swing shouldn't have killed them, it...
Reminds me of a time I was working with habanero peppers in the kitchen, then had to urinate. Likely worse pain, but definitely didn't last more than...
To sum it up, you're doing small water changes constantly, via your skimmer. Nothing all too unconventional about that.
High pH could kill anything, especially with a quick change. More likely, the test kit is bad, not the probe. Test kits are notoriously inaccurate.
That would be xmetal's link ;D
The voice of the demon from the exorcist?
I'm going to say the photo is from before the 70's, likely the 50's, due to the clothing.
I would look into either The Book of Coral Propagation by Anthony Calfo, or Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman, as good reference guides to corals. For...
What's TDS before the RO? The ratio of after RO : before RO should be under 10%. If your before RO TDS is 400+, then a after RO of 24 is normal. If...
No, day bulbs are great for growth. True actinics (Actinic 03) do nearly nothing for growth. The other actinics (usually called actinic blue) will do...
Are you running a DI stage?
The writing says, in gigantic letters, "Reef Angel w/ WiFi".
It's pretty important to use at least RO when running FOWLR. When using conditioner, the only thing you're removing is chlorine and chloramines. That...
