GHP is going to be GPH no matter what is first. Carbon does not "need" higher flow, it can just handle higher flow that GFO. GFO is going to be the...
Duh!
Thanks, I didn't want to be confused. I could target feed, but my wife already thinks I am nuts over the tank. I sort of didn't want to confirm it to...
Are they not photosynthetic? I feed Oyster eggs and rotties, do I have to target feed?
So you have to feed Dendros? I don't target feed anything in my tank.
At the risk of sending you to the dark side, here is a new article this month in ReefKeeper Mag. Reefkeeping Magazine - Calcium Reactors… In, Out...
Got it.
Not all sand is the same. You buy by particle size. That stuff at Petco is like powdered sugar. Super fine. The suspended stuff will eventually get...

Oh I just noticed fines settled to the bottom of the sump by the reactor. Rinsed it pretty good. My Rox seems to rinse well, but don't see fines in...
Ya... like that. I know what you are say. You don't want some ugly mess of spaghetti. You will have to work with what you have. Even if you turned...
If you look at post #7 AZ desert rat, he has a straight shot like you. But he has a hose barb in there and those are necked down pretty good inside....
