would a DIY needle wheel work? i will try a design I found in the web using bioballs cut into a wheel and plugged into the impeller. Would be great...
yup. a reef tank easily drains you of cash.
Hello! I am returning after a few years! ;) Kept tank as FOWLR and now assembling a nano (cheaper lights). It's way cheaper (a 6 gallon long tank...
Anemones require lots of light. Once acclimated they will bleach unless provided with sufficient light (in the MH range). Unless the tank is low...
Have you dropped the coil denitrator? i hear it sucks to use and operate. And with good live rock/live sand you don't need it (unless you really...

I lost two corals when the sg went down to 1.021. A pineapple brain and an open brain. Somehow best sg for my tank is 1.023 to 1.024.
Phil - That is right . Using fans over a tank increases water evaporation. Highly undesirable for small tanks as it could impact salinity. It can be...
hehehehe I hope it wasnt raw in your case. ;)
Thanks for the correction mmkay! Sorry BL....I should have said lowered the pH! My mistake..... :) ;) :P Acid lowers the pH level while alkaline...
