I am not sure how you would do it w/o an external RO/DI reservoir. Do you have your planned diagrammed out? That would help me visualize your...
Hey 3reefers, I saw a post the other day that said something like there are probably only a few true experts on this network. I beg to differ. I...
Yeah, halide photoperiod can be pretty variable from system to system. When I upgrade I think I will combine white T5's and HQI to create varying...
Well, I have heard all sorts mixed info on mangrove fuges. It isn't often that someone has actual personal experience to speak from. Thanks for the...
So you would run actinics for like 14-16 hrs per day? Seems like a long photo-period to me. I guess that might simulate summer days in the tropics...
I would like to set up a system where the mangroves can be on display as well, like a house plant. I think they are kind of cool looking. What are...
Someday I am going to try having a mangrove fuge. From what I understand the nitrate uptake is unparalleled.
It can be. But if you are using it in your fuge you have to be careful and not let it go sexual, lest you risk an ammonia spike. Some of it can...
Generally once an algae has established itself in your tank it will be impossible to get rid of completely. In your case you don't have one of the...
I have been curious about this myself for some time. I don't have much too add to this thread that hasn't already been said. I did hear that the...
:laughing0Me too!:yelrotflm I think you could use PVC but make portholes with clear acrylic "windows." Sounds like it might be a lot of trouble...
Did you do the calculation? It always seems like there is plenty of flow in your tank. I think you just have to redirect it all differently so it...
You should!
Good question. I am not sure but I would imagine higher flow would be good for SPS because it would blow away nutrients and toxins. However, they...
I was under the impression that grain size makes a difference in the efficacy of a DSB. I have a 6" DSB in my sump/fuge with a couple nassarius...
"Can't see the line, can you Russ?" Seriously though, 3reef keeps me coming back for more.
Depends on the type. Different varieties have different requirements so you may have some do really well and others in the same tank just kinda...
Guilty as charged!:P
Great. Turned out to be 64x. I am even surprised by that number. It must vary a bit now though because I have some of the PHs on a rotation....
One last question: do you divide by the system gallonage or the main tank?
