The saga continues. I redid the return line today. I got tired of having multiple pumps in the return section of the sump. I now have a manifold I...
Rather attractive skimmer. Wish they had a demo on YouTube.

For a tank that size, you could get some really nice substrate (Tropic Eden Reef Flakes.... <3 it!). Two bags would do it for you, and that's like...
We all lose fish/corals. At some point you either decide you can't do it either for your own work or for the animals... or that you are willing to...
For what it's worth, and I'm pretty sure I mentioned this earlier... I don't think you need to break the tank down and do a full clean. I think you...
Pull rocks and substrate out, wipe it down with bleach... let air dry. Rub it down with vinegar... let it dry. For the rocks, it's a bit more labor...
If you decide to give it a try, people on this forum will be more than glad to give you solid advice.
Why would you need new RO/DI filters? I've been using my RODI filters for 6 months... on my 90 gallon tank and 30+ gallon sump. I wouldn't be...

Mag just tested at 1600 with the Red Sea test... twice. The start of the change was maybe 1560, but first noticeable change was 1600... not even...
If you had a decent amount of live rock, you should be fine as far as a cycle goes. The sand does help out with that, but you didn't remove "all" of...
Yes, it will.

I used to soak them in RO/DI with bleach then rinse. I just recently moved to washing them on delicate with bleach then air dry. It works very well.
I guess that makes sense. I did drain a pretty large part of my display yesterday. Granted, I did it before lights on.
Calcium is up 60 ppm from yesterday. 300 yesterday, 360 today. Mag may have been low yesterday... but a fresh batch should have brought it up if it...
