I am with AZDesertRat. A simple $10 6" fan blowing directly on water should really help with your temps. With room temp of 85°, I have no problem...
FYI - I was merely stating what I have and for what it cost. You are correct in how the the water saving works, however my tap is relatively low TDS...
Just an observation: You said you have only had a tank up for a month, and already two weeks doing hypo-salinity. But you seem to already have or had...
I have always seen it suggested that dwarf angels should be the last fish added for this very reason. Meanwhile fairy or flasher wrasses should be...
Nice CUC choices, but I would say you may want to add some large ceriths. The larger ones will take care of any of the larger algae (i.e. GHA). The...
I went with a Bulk Reed Supply system myself. 150 GPD water savings 5 stage unit, with water drinking kit, TDS meters to measure tap water, RO water...
Are you sure it is hose thread? I would think you would have a female NPT end in the pump. All you would need then is a PVC threaded male x socket...
Every tank is different, but they would eventually come down. My 46 gal with no sump/refugium took the same amount of time to get nitrates to 0 as my...
Nice ninja edit! Live rock & sand will definitely cycle a tank. Uncured live rock may be more effective as you get more die-off. Feed the tank every...
How much were you trying to increase the pH, and any chance you added too much of the product at once?
Starting up a new aquarium can be quite stressful! I have soaked the floors multiple times around all 3 of my tanks. Once you get the bugs worked...
This made me chuckle :cheesy: I was wondering the same thing myself!
IMO the best way to pick your stock is to first chose your "centerpiece fish". This would be the fish you "have to have" and are excited for all of...
If you are going to separate them, I would leave the smaller one in the DT and put the larger one in timeout. :)
You can actually get some pretty small footprint reactors, which you can have HOB, in sump, or remote. You may find you don't need one, but they are...
First update! The 55 gal is coming along nicely. Ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates have all been zero for weeks now. I do have some GHA growing, but...
I have the PSK100, so here are my thoughts: There are a few factors that come into play with a new skimmer. First is if it is a new tank with...
Angels don't do well with other angels unless you have a massive tank. I would not risk it.
That's what I did on my tank. The holes are 1/2"x1/2". Very slim fish (like a firefish or some gobies maybe) would be able to get through I would...
Oh, sorry I misunderstood! Next option would be to lower flow rate to the tank. Most people recommend installing a ball valve on the return line to...
