A thought to consider on ATO. Running a small business is really a system engineering problem. The system has several functions...1) tank...
The other side of the equation... I have the AC Jr. Also, very easy to use and love it. Certainly makes life much easier. Absolute no complaints....
First.... "Honey, it will save us money in the long run in several ways... Larger tanks are more stable because of the larger water volume, thus...
Agree... Get a bottle of buffer. I also read not to change it all at once. Gradually raise your Alk some each day to get to your target range. M
I would say that it depends on your budget. The Lowe's longer power strip looks good because there is room to pull in the timers. Most power strips...

Do you have a distributor plate on top of the Bioballs between the overflow line and the bioballs to distribute the flow evenly across the full...
I also ran mechanical filtration for a while in the beginning also... then removed it once stable. M
Everyone does this slightly different, so your plan seems rational. A few things to think about, but I am no expert. 1) Nutrient Export. The...
I am struggling how to ask this question. To be clear, I mean no disrespect to any sponsor or supplier. I am just curious. An individual coral...
Do you have any water movement at all? What filtration, sump, fuge are you planning?? M
Is the algae flowing and soft green hair algae or kind of stiff turf algae?? I had both on my LR at one point. The GHA I was able to get rid of...
