    new bucket of Reef Crystals- high ca++

    new bucket of Reef Crystals- high ca++

    Your numbers are all over the place with ca and mg. If mg is actually lower and alk is higher than what you're reading, it's possible for alk to...

    +1 Also, there may be state laws that enforce a warranty even if the seller doesn't offer one. Just a thought.

    bio wheel or no bio wheel

    You are partly correct, OFK- given enough LR, bio-wheels are not necessary; however, there are still some benefits to using them. Same can be said of...
