Hello jupiter, if you reduced the flow from the pump to the skimmer as you say (like when breaking it in, that adjustment?) that is bad for the pump,...
Yes Johnny, Jeff, just make sure it can vent the heat.
Hey Bears, looks like you are getting a handle on it. Suggestion? I would go for surface agitation from a small Koralia or your return although I...
Hello, it all depends on how much you are using it. The filters have a "life" to them. The best way to determine when to change the filters is to...
Really, really nice. Love the aqua scape.
It might be able to be put in a canopy if the vents/fans are side mounted.
Is the phosphate media for both phos and nitrate? If so, that slime is accumulated "bound" nitrate. I have used a product called "algone" and after...
Hi, after my second hydrometer mishap (same as you only .030 sg) I broke down and spent $40.00 on a refractometer. One of the best investments I have...

My reactor pump is in the same chamber as the return. They put the pump with the reactor for a purpose, that is, to get just enough flow to cause a...
Hello, you have not listed your Magnesium. Mag and Calc work synergisticly. If Mag is low (under 1200 ppm) Calk will be hard to raise and keep...
I don't see any change as far as the tank (assuming you have been adding calc and mag), however, there may be "change" in your pocket (a little...
This would maybe be true if doing water changes weekly or bi-weekly. Some (me) do changes every 4 weeks so dosing is more of a priority.
Beautifull development and aesthetically pleasing aqua scape, I like the set up.
Hello bogie, what you say isn't accurate. I have talked to many aquarists about the Coraline and there are a myriad of factors involved. Some (LFS...
