Big problems lately. A few weeks ago my GSP died off, well it closed up and hasn't opened again yet so I am going to say its dead and not returning....
Well since space is not an issue why not do 30 wide and 30 tall. As mentioned by other people 30 inches will be very hard to reach the bottom. You...
Not sure what this is, I apologize for the mostly out of focus picture. Picasa Web Albums - james - delete a bunch
I love my aqua jr. You will want to try to get your bubble count as perfect as possible without the use of the controller opening and closing a lot...
I paid 125$ for shipping one time, call me crazy but I saved over 1000$ from what a LFS would have charged me for the same corals.
Like sostoudt said, whatever keeps your tank stable. The lower the ph the more media that dissolves and adds to your tanks ca and alk, the higher...
sounds good, but I would make a drawing of it and post it here before I did anything.
MY phosphates dropped from almost 3.0 down to about .05 in 3 days. This was with one reactor on a 160 gallon system. If you think your reactor is...

Phosphate binding media needs to have a very low flow rate. In the 2 little fishes reactor it needs to be around 60 gal per hour. Carbon works...
by effluent I mean, the output of the canister.
Yes reactors are better, but a canister works. When is the last time you have changed out your media? what kind of media are you using? Check the...
If it were an in sump pump filter floss under the pump works well for me, for anyone else having noise issues.
Are you using the cold water line? Hot water will ruin the membranes.
You could run rowaphos in a canister filter. Some people run a mix of carbon and rowaphos in a canister. People use much more carbon than rowaphos...
Yep its evap, 1/2 a gallon a day is pretty low evap, consider yourself lucky. my 120 evaps about 2 gallons a day, which IMO is average. Some people...
If you are using an API test kit, it might be giving you a high reading, mine is 30-50ppm higher than my other kits.
I have a pair of tomatoes and 5 false percs in my 120. For the most part my tomatoes stay on the right side, false percs on the left. Sometimes the...
