Hello everyone,
I'm in a marine biology class, and I have been assigned a research paper on a Marine species.
I have chosen to do it on the various forms of montipora. There is very limited info on Wiki-pedia, and i've not been able to find anything really of substance.
If you know any sites...
I do have an RO/DI set up. I use the API phosphate test (which i think is aweful) and i'm under 1ppm.. I have only 1 power head, in the 90 gallon tank. However, there ARE 6 returns going into the tank. I have a closed loop suppling 4 returns and 2 return pumps. i could probably use more flow...
I just wanted to chime in and let you know that if you are buying it off the BAy from some guy named Elvis, out of NOrthern California (San Fran area) you should take heed. The price was right. However, the unit sucks! It was a 48" 2x 250 watt MH + 4 x55 PC, + moonlights.
He advertised the...
So, to alleviate some of the excess nutrients should I do a few water changes. I'm going to do 20 gallons today, and planning on another 20 on sunday or monday. The flow on the gravel (which under the halide is covered with the cyano) is pretty good and the flow hitting most of the rockwork is...
I keep my lights (250 wat MH+96watt PC) on 9 hours
there is a lot of flow in the tank
I use RO water bought at the water store
Nitrates =0
Nitrites=0
Phosphates=1.0
*I have done a 20 gallon water change (75gallon tank+20gallon sump+10gallon refugium)
This red slime stuff is everywhere...
I'm about to buy a RO/DI system and I just came across a site that has an RO/DI +chloramine filter. The description is kind of leading me to believe that large municipal water supply districts add chloramine to the public water.
I want to make sure i get the right unit from the start.
Thanks,
Kev
I've been having issues with my calcium ever since I restarted my reef. I have been consistently at around 340-360 calcium. I'm using the API test kit and I've had it for about a year now, and i'm pretty sure it's dependable. I've been adding the recommended dose of Kent, Turbo Calcium.

I did the same thing. and it's definitely convenient. I have a closed loop system with 6 different outputs going back into the main tank. then, i made and extra one like you that i could drain water quickly and efficiently. what i did was use the ball valve to turn the water off or on. I hooked...
