I like mangroves and think they are very interesting to grow, however what do you hope to accomplish? Mangroves are not a very effective at taking...
Do you have ammonia now, you said it was 0; was that before or after adding prime? If you are worried about ammonia, I probably wouldn't add Prime...
Great post, I would add, also a lot of the floating particles that you are removing are food for something.... Whether or not removing them or...
Are you going to have fish in your frag tank and/or feed your frags a lot? If not, then a fuge may not provide any benifit and may be counter...
I have been mixing kalk and vinegar. Steve summarized the numbers well, I would add though, kalk also has about 112 dkh per unit volume. So, you...
If razor blades aren't working, then I wonder if ReefSparky is onto something and the glass is damaged. Did anything come off at all with the razor...
Your right Magnus... Sorry about that, muriatic acid is actually just 10% hydrochloric acid, which will not etch glass.... You could actually use...
As far as silicates go, this covers most of it: Feature Article: Silica In Reef Aquariums — Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine Also, I...
I have no idea what's in CLR, so I'd be hesitant unless this is common practice that I'm not aware of? If it's calcium, vinager should work, but...
+ to what others have said, needs to break in. Congrats on the new skimmer, those Bubble Magus skimmers are bad azz, give it some time ;)

Don't do that! Muratic acid is used to etch glass... So, I feel that is a bad idea, but that's just me... LOL.
I don't think a 14g will be stable enough for a ULNS.... ULNSs are very "picky" and fluctuation=death.... Also, as stated protein skimmers need...
Did you try a razor blade?
Cool, keep us posted on the build! I think without the lenses the optics are something like 120deg IIRC. So, the lenses will give specific leds...
Diana Peace, Heart, Happy face (hehe ;D). Congrats, as others have said they are a great part of your cleanup crew. They hide very well, in pores...
Interesting do you have a source for that? Facultative anaerobic denitrification is well established in the scientific literature. There has...
I might guess a sporulation or "sexual" event occurred and feeding a micro algae bloom. The algae probably was probably shocked when added to your...
Any sign of brown Jelly or anything?
4 tds is okay, better 0 as phosphates, silicates etc.. can be some of the first substances to sneak through, however, I doubt 4 is really a problem....
