that's why I could never own a fish/aquarium maintenance business - I'd readily accept good wine as my payment way too often :beer2: Seriously...
So I'm going to setup a BioPellet reactor this week and I'm going to use the EcoBack Plus. I've prepared by getting my PO3 and NO3 down to .03 and...
I have some of what sounds like what you're describing in my tank. I has a smooth grayish/tan colored coralline look and it grows in small patches....
I'm working on adding a Bio Pellet reactor to my system as well. Right now my only real option is to have the feed pump in the same chamber as the...
Interesting read. Makes me wonder if there's a way to program the Vortec in combination with the Apex to create a more natural tidal cycle within the...

Would you do just GFO, or GFO and Carbon? I have a small Two-little fishes Phosban reactor that's not currently in use, so I could set it up pretty...
1 - Do you think I should try the GFO as opposed tot he lights out, or once the lights out is done? 2 - I have not, and I probably should. Right...
