Are you getting your zoos from the same place? Maybe try a different source? Have you tried changing out a large portion of your water? Are you...
Did you doublecheck your parameters with another kit or at an LFS? Nitrates/phosphates? Doublecheck your temperature? Is it getting enough flow...
Looking good, I'm a fan of double islands as well! Good luck clearing up those pesky corals. :)
The fixture you mentioned, the 96w one would be a waste of money if you don't want to be limited by light IMO. What are the dimensions of the tank?...
ATI Blue Plus are the best blue bulbs IMO, great PAR and great color. I've heard some good things about some 22k bulbs too but I'm not as familiar...
As for getting water out, right now I just have a maxi-jet with some 3/8" ID tubing connected that I use to pump it out with. I also just picked up...
Not a lot of coral actually "require" food of any kind to be floating around all the time. Most of them just require good light and good water...
That's a problem with some of the cheaper fixtures, if they come with cheap bulbs a lot of people don't like the colors/performance they get out of...
I think the calcium is only on the high end really, and I would try and get rid of those phosphates as well, the nitrate isn't an issue IMO. I...
What are the dimensions of your tank and what type of livestock are you planning on keeping? Will you have a canopy or do you need a fixture to hang...
I don't think the prices are all that much different personally, Koralias are definitely cheaper though. The 4 way Koralia controller is $350 and...
+1 Swing arm hydrometers are notorious for being inaccurate, if you would like to continue using it at least check it against a calibrated...
Just throwing out some other options, all the lights out here are good quality and prices. Also for a 55g depending on what coral you're planning on...
I'm using a 32g Rubbermaid Brute trash can right now, I've seen it used so often in other people's systems long-term I can't imagine that it would be...
AFAIK most corals in the LPS/SPS categories do not filter feed on phytoplankton directly. I think there are some softies that do but I'm not a big...
Sorry I'm not familiar with the product but I personally wouldn't add anything like that unless I absolutely had to since it's just for cosmetic...
When I personally "am pretty sure" that something is OK that just means I'm being lazy. :) No offense meant, I've just had a number of problems in...
My API calcium test kit always read high and I've heard of at least a couple other people who have had that same situation as well. The test kit...
Sorry, can't help with exact experience but for the price last I checked I saw no reason not to go with Tunze or Vortechs.
Check out schedule 80 PVC, it's grey already and works with the same fittings/valves generally as schedule 40, it just has slightly thicker walls so...
