I don't know if this was a case with you, but my mistake when I first started with SW tanks is that I topped off with saltwater. My SG reach 1.032...
You then have to get the bicarbonate hardness too, subtract the two numbers to get total hardness, KH. Normal range will be 7-11 depending on the...
Wow, your alk is monstrous high! Are you sure you mesured it correctly? There is carbonate and bicarbonate readings and you have to subract the two...
Where's the reviews section? I could only find the Archive Reviews section. :confused: Edit: Nevermind, I saw the text link at the side...
I usually turn my tank off completely when I do a WC. The check valve will keep the siphon from flowing back into the fuge. It only takes me 2 mins...
Running solar panels that store into a storage cell would work, though they are pretty pricey. Another option on solar panels is that it will...
Keep an eye on your water quality and your anemone. Percs can be funny, my LFS has one that is hosting to a plastic coral even though a GBT is not...
I ran my UV for a month and recently turned it off after my weird bacterial blooms died off, it looked like a weird white turf algae. I agree with...
If food particles get caught and start to decompose in the FFP, I would think that would lead to a pH drop along with other problems (i.e. ammonia,...
There are very low rejection rate units, but they are very expensive, $800 on up. My 100GPD will spit out ~4G for every 1G it makes. Egger brought...
Also higher K rated bulbs are less penetrating than lower K bulbs. A 14000K bulb will reach deeper into a tank than one that is 20000K, wattage and...
I use stuff made by DAP that says "Aquarium Silicone Sealant" on the package that works great. I got that either at Lowes or Ace, I don't remember....
Thanks guys. I wanted to keep my flow in the fuge down to about 10-15x per hour or so. That's why I was thinking I would use the MJ1200. I...
They also wore a rubber glove on the tail to keep from getting zapped. All kidding aside though, I would check for things that might have been...
Well I had to change my design slightly due to a goof up on my part. I need to hurry up and get it done, my anemone isn't looking too happy now,...
Thanks Luna. This is one of my "to-do" list items. I need to make a platform for my skimmer to sit on, I just haven't figured out the best way to...
Thanks for all the comments and inputs. I may forgo the sock and use eggcrate and filterfloss, it may be easier to put in and clean as compared to a...
For 21" tall, T5 should be good enough unless you want to put in some hard corals. I don't think you would do that anyway, since you are keeping...
I don't know if it was something else other than the NO3, but something got to it. The tail one the male turned white, like it lost some scales....
My bill is about $90 right now. That is after changing my 20G light to the 70W HQI from CF. I also added in a 1/5HP chiller to my 150G that runs a...
