ok, i think i might get what your saying, 1) the water coming into the reator gets its ph lowered by the co2. 2) the water inside the reactor...
whats up, I like 3 reef a lot. dont have to to sift through to much to get reall good information. good luck on the tank
i want to dig this back up cause i hope someone knows the answer. I understand the "controlled" low pH inside the reactor to keep the media...
sums it it pretty well. i went the keep them well fed, pray method and managed to keep one fish alive through my ich outbreak (lost 3).
"old" rock would probably be a good idea. And just for some "clarification" hahahah get it....... im not a advocate of chemical "fix its" but...
yeah that stuff, the bags of sand i used came with a really small packet of that stuff in them. Ha, i even fished one bag out months later i must...
Any one have any idea what that "bio-clarifier" stuff is that come in carib sea sand. might be something to look into. i used 80 lbs when i...
very cool, i am moving in a couple weeks and might try this. I would like to figure out some way to "dress up" the kick area

I have no mechanical filtration, besides the skimmer. I do run 2 reactors though. My nitrate and phospate levels stay solid at zero (at least...
might want to check your nitrate and phospate levels (if you havent). i had a huge outbreak in my tank when my nutrient levels got high. Never...
i have heard the the diffrent "thermal expansion" rates between glass and aycrilic can cause stuff to blow out or leak.
If your producing a lot of bubbles, then it might just be that the collection cup is set to low. try and move the o-ring up on the cup and see what...
I have a 6 bulb on my 90. I have acros and montis from the middle up, that have great color and growing pretty well. I haven't tried anything on the...
i think their big thing is digging holes and such, so all your rock has to be secure. any fish will jump if something scares it enough -not from...
i love what the blue look does to my green corals, and what the purple does for reds. i think blue tanks look good so long as there isnt a lot of...
