My alk has stayed low using tropic marin pro reef. (around 110-120ppm) honestly i got kind of lazy testing alk and Ca over the past few months. i...
i run 3 ATI blue plus, 1 Aquablue special, 1 GE 6500k, and one Korallen Fiji purple. i like it. i have an ATI purple plus laying around to replace...
i would recomend using 3/16 thick glass (i think that was the size, its a pretty standard size close to a 1/4 in) i have heard of people having...
easy answer is, 1.5 inches is good. if you want to make things way more complicated (like me)- > the closer that center baffle is to the bottom...
I have been thinking of doing an octopuss tank with a 55 i have sitting for a while now, think it would be pretty cool. was turned off by the...
got a bit to technical for me :) but bottom line is the effluent rate does have to be adjusted for demand??
ahhh, ok makes sense. good way to do things to. it will all be covered in no time.
looks good, look forward to seeing more pics. Not sure if its the light washing it out, but the rock look very "clean" for LR.
i do 1.025 but with a hydrometer not a refractometer. once your in the 1.023-1.026 range i think the big thing is consistancey not so much the...
so long as your paramters are in line a water change may only make it worse. it can be a lot of stress. i would leave the lights off for most of...
i just read another thread of yours. you mentioned you used live sand. if this was scooped out of another tank it could be loaded with nitrates....
by moving the rocks around your livestock might have to restablish territorym and for what its worth my opinion is that your pretty overstocked, even...
maybe a space issue. im not a expert by anymeans but i think for a tank to hold that many tangs would have to be huge like 180+
good looking tank. whille the equipment is a little on the expensive side, looks like you have an "amazing" first set up. A lot of room to grow...
ha, yeah. i do crazy amounts of water changes now and am planing on setting up a 2part or reactor set up. not trying to turn this into a 2part vs...
i used chemi-pure eilte to get over the 20ppm hump in my nitrate battle. only for a couple months, once i got down to undetectable i stopped and it...
i think i am getting it now. i either misinterpeted what others have wrote, or they are just wrong. reactors dont keep up with demand thanks
ok so bottom line its not automatic at all (as far as keeping up with demand) so hypotheticly: we replace the reactor with a 2 part system. the...
i dont think 20ppm is anything to do anything drastic with, i wouldnt do more then a 25% water change at a time. a 50% can be pretty stressfull....
so as the demand increases it will take more co2 to lower the ph inside the reactor to dissolve the media?? makes sense (i think)
