Nice. Ya it would have worked for now, but props for biting the bullet straight off. Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us; ADR6300 Build/FRF91)...
I never ran them. Just another thing to maintain.
Glad I cleared that up, we were just saying the same thing. So OP, what are your goals for the tank. What do you want to house? Yes you got a good...
There isn't really a debate between live rock and bio balls. Live rock in a reef in a tank is a far superior filter over a wet/dry. Placing live rock...
I didn't mean to be argumentative if I was.... Turnover rate is a common term used and understood for most. It's just not need for sumps. Most folks...
Putting live rock or rubble accomplishes the same thing bio balls does.... provide an oxygen rich area for bacteria to break down ammonia and...
Got it. Chillers add a ton of loss. See if your manual has how much head loss is from the chiller and how much it can flow. They have a max.......
Do you plan on putting a skimmer in there? What size is your display tank and why do you need another pump? Good work!
I'm going to have to disagree with several points here.... there is no such thing as a "turn over" rate for a marine sump. Turn over rate was a hold...
Worth their weight in gold. When you get one you will wonder what took you so long to make the jump. Reek Keeper has plenty of fans, but Neptune...
So how big is your tank? If you minimize flow through it as much as you can, it sounds like it will work. I assume you have a skimmer on the other...
I don't think the skimmer body itself needs to be cleaned, but you can. However, you will have to go through another break in period before you can...
I have never seen any type of statement that ties DSB area to how much it can reduce nitrates. Not too sure how much that would do in relation to...
First things first.... do you have an ATO or a baffled sump? Do you have a constant water level? Next.... skimmers do not necessarily produce...
The best way to control a natural thing is to let nature do the work. Bacteria and algae are your friends. They are natures nitrate control....
What they can stay alive in and what they will thrive in are two different things. Nitrates should and can easily be zero in a SPS dominate tank. Few...
Well it says .22l/m which is 220 ml/m. So if all you are dosing is 30 ml then you will have a heck of a time getting a accurate dose. Less than 10...
Looking up info it says 750 gph.... but that sounds like a lot. Most needle wheels will give a air and water flow rate. Sometimes you see the water...
Why? What are your needs? What are you trying to accomplish? What else have you tried? What are your corals? Carbon dosing is a pretty advanced...
It is very difficult to look at a system and then apply a blanket statement to all others. There is simply no way you can take "too much" out of the...
