I have an ASM skimmer with the Sedra 3500 pump that has been running since 07. I noticed earlier this year when I would unplug it or in a power...
It's the digital thermometer, they suck! I have had 2 that have done that same thing, I will always have a glass thermometer somewhere in my tank to...
You would be better off trying to decrease curernt nutrient input in the tank. If you can add some mechanical filtering (like a filter sock or...
So, it looks as though I can get my hands on a PAR meter, when I do I will test my current set up, my new set up and my 29 gallon with the par-38...
How long are you mixing it and what kind of water are you using? Mine clears up in 15 minutes but I only make 5-10 gallons at a time and mix in a...
They seem to like low light and moderate flow. I have not observed mine feeding like other LPS corals do. I have mine on a rock and it seems to...
I had a hard time getting any to grow in my 29 gallon when I had the marineland light but, when I switched to the ecoxotic par-38's that I have on...
Purple up works very well also, but, if your lighting is good and your parameters are correct it should start up on it's own.
Check the outer plastic of your PH, if it is cracked it will run in reverse. Happened to both of my 1050's. I contacted Hydor and I had replacements...
+1 on that, I have 3 of them on my 29 gallon, they do a fine job! I can grow any coral I want and they are only 21 watts each! I recommend ecoxotic.
I am thinking about contacting my local club, SLASH to see if I can borrow a PAR meter, I should be able too. I would like to know how they stack up...
+1 on that go LEDS, just ordered these Reef Breeder's Dimmable 120 watt RGB Aquarium LED Fixtures | eBay for my 55 gallon. This is what I am...
I have that same light on my 30 gal refugium growing chaeto and grape caulerpa like mad! Had mine for 6 months now, I love it!
The great thing about the stunner strips is you can buy an in-line dimmer for them so if you only want a little more white light, you can get the...
Well, first of all welcome, there is a wealth of information on this site. As far as the lingo goes, if their is something that you are not sure of,...
Rod's mix! Ya, 55's are tough to aquascape, I went through several and I am still not all that happy with mine. Tough to do with the limited...
I am currently using MH/T-5's on my 55 gallon with great success. Only lost 1 hard coral in 14 months and the LPS and softies are taking off. I am...
Keep an eye on the front cover as well. If it becomes damaged or breaks, that will either stop your pump completly or cause it to run backwards....
I would also suggest some optics if you are wanting to keep SPS/Clams, maybe not 60 degree but 90 would work best for you. There are many many great...
You can also add hydrogen peroxide dilute with tank water to increase oxygen in the water if the air stone isn't enough.
