You don't know what you got yourself into lol. Welcome to the addiction.
I have valves on mine too, but most units don't come with them. So many people who are new to RO/DI don't realize that if they don't put the tubes...
Good work on the RO/DI! Just make sure to do your research on them too! Remember, No hot water, change your prefilters every 6 months (or according...
Lol many of us use vinegar to clean our tank equipment. I have a pump soaking in vinegar as we speak. Does that answer your question? By the way,...
I doubt this would cause an ammonia spike. This is a common problem that is pretty easy to solve. What types of filtration are you using? What are...
I really like my AquaMaxx HOB-1 skimmer. I got it for $100 on craigslist. It is rated for 50-75 gallons. I have 6 T5 bulbs on my 37g reef, which is...
Even though I think you already made your decision, I still must say +1 to Spectrapure. I had originally bought an Air Water Ice 5-stage system, with...
I would change to reef salt (like instant ocean reef crystals), and water changes more often. I do a 25% water change every other week. Reef salt...
What type of salt are you using? My first suggestion would be to switch to a better salt and do wc's often.. If you are using a good salt and still...
Remember, no rusty tools in the tank! If you do stick metal in the tank, remember to rinse it with freshwater (preferably RO/DI) afterwards and...
I would check your test kits. Also, your phosphates are on the higher side. That isn't low enough to starve out your algae.. Maybe change out your...
Is colt coral like a Kenya tree? I used to have a Kenya tree but it grew too fast and I didn't want it anymore. When I did have it, I just cut it...
So I think this is going pretty well. I added just alk yesterday after I posted those levels. I didn't test yesterday after I actually added the alk....
+1 I actually have flow pointing directly at it lol and it loves it, along with my Birds of Paradise. It even started growing faster when I gave it...
You can't argue with AZDesertRat.. He is not only the most knowledgeable person of this subject on this forum, but on many other major forums as...
Is it possible that those flakes are settling to the bottom and therefore taking longer to dissolve? Try taking a turkey baster and blow on the...
I have updated several of the Red Sea kits to Red Sea Pro. However, I cannot find the pro versions for either the ammonia or the nitrite. I cannot...
How exactly does it hinder growth? Mine has been growing faster than ever for months. I have to cut it in half almost once a week and toss it. And my...
I run mine 24/7. It works magic on those nitrates! ;)
Fixed :)
