I'm working so I can't sleep.... what's your reason. :) Unfortunately I never had a reactor so I do not know the ins and outs of operation. I can...
OK... let me put it this way. Our consumption is 48 ppm per day... so our coral take up 2ppm per hour and our reactor puts out 2ppm per hour. So...
So Dingo... I get what you are saying.... but explain to me.... it seems as if we were talking about a natural system say... like the ocean was at a...
Well I have heard it stated too.... that reactors keep up with CHANGING demands. Never cared but never really understood how that was. Now if...
The primary ingredients for detergent are phosphates and washing socks could very well end up being a big source of import for phosphates in your...
Souns reasonable. I'm not advocating you throwing in the towel with the reactor. I didn't use one, but many do and they work well with some benefits...
Thanks guys. Appreciate it. Sorry if I have not responded to questions. Didn't notice this was up again. Hopefully you guys got some answers.
As I understand it... calcium reactors lower PH, however, that is not a big deal. Low Ph itself is not too bad, you just want to strive for stable...
You just need to get things running and cycle through the dust. Keep it circulated and turn your skimmer on. Filter socks come in different...
Must be. Hope things went well. You must be excited with all that is going on.
More is not always better. Flow is for inhabitants, not for a contest. I had some open rock work and had very good flow through my rocks. I never...

The whole point of mud is that it contains minerals and other elements that leach out of the bed into the water column. Miracle muds and what not...
The hose being closed up and CO2 going up can cause low PH which is what Blackraven was saying. But that is sort of a seperate issue if that is going...
Looks great. I really don't know why more people do not use these overflows. I mean the Bean is custom, but the Herbie can be done with any reef...
I'm real comfortable with it. It's been paying my bills for 20 years.;) VFDs are more efficient, but running fans at half speed is simply moving...
Because power consumed equals work done. Move more water, use more power. Throttle a pump, decrease power used. You will probably need a pressure...
Hey, Happy B-Day Matt. You ROCK!
You do not need a variable speed pump. Power consumed is from what work is done. The work being done is moving water. Throttling in a pump does not...
So how deep is your bed? I'm not at all trying to tell you over the internet what you should do with your system... I don't know your system....
