Beth, It has probably been 2 months maybe 2.5 since I changed the carbon / GFO. Have you heard of problems with these reactors? The GFO really seemed to clear up my phosphate issue as I had some hair algae I couldn't get rid of.

So after my water change last night it looks like I am around 40 PPM Nitrates, should I do another one this morning or wait until the evening to give the tank more time. I have a 55 gal display with a 30 gal sump, sump probably filled about half way with water. My equipment is One Radion XR30...

Flower, I have one of the API test kits, and my Nitrates tested at zero on Dec 28th. When push water with a turkey baster over the coral a cloud of something comes out. Is this the goo your talking about? Glad to hear that the corals will rebound sometimes! Beth, I actually though my test...

My 1 hour job turned into 6 hours, my bulkhead cracked in my overflow which required me to drive over 2 hours to get the part......

Beth, I had both of my ecotech mp40's running while the tank was down, however my heater was in the sump so it had no heat going to the display. once I got the tank running again the temp showed 73 degrees....... I just tested the parameters and this is what I came up with. PH - 8.2 Ammonia -...

Hello everyone, So I woke up this morning to find my cleaner shrimp dead and Rittiri Anemone dead also...... All my polyps are closed and my toadstools have all fallen over. I tested my ammonia, ph, salinity, etc and everything seems to be in an acceptable range. My nitrates were just a hair...

attached are some photos of my coral.

Has anyone had this issue? I would really like to get it fixed to get my flow back up for my corals, I have an old/small pump in to help get by at the moment....

well I was super excited when I got this new pump about a month ago and it has performed awesome with little noise. Today I woke up and noticed it was not working so started to look into it. Nothing has got stuck in the pump but sounds like it is jamming with something. Propeller spins freely...

thats awesome because I just purchased a dual reacter for carbon and gfo from bulk reef this past thursday! I also use my own RO/DI water

So I just purchases the Hanna checker to get accurate readings on my levels but find it odd that it is reading 0.00 PPM when im having an algea outbreak problem. Anyone else have this problem???

**************.com has a carbon reactor which you can place inside or outside of your sump. I just ordred the dual carbon/GFO reactor today and only set me back about $150 with the media. Building a sump has been the best thing I have done this far for my tank! ;)

I have a glass sump with acrylic baffolds and havent had any problems either. its been running for 8 months now.

I just ordered a phosphate hanna checker and a dual reactor for carbon and GFO! hopefully these will help do the trick! I have a feeling my API test kit is junk! any recomendations for test kits?

Kristin, they are those lights from *****, I got them for 50% off so I thought I was getting a deal! hahaha. Flower, I do use RO/DI water for all changes and top off. I am thinking I made a mistake by not curing some dryrock I purchase from BRS. I was thinking if I placed it in a bucket for...

Well that sucks about the lights, I must have fallen for that trap as well! What would you recommend for the lighting? I figured the "full spectrum" reef lighting would be pretty good lighting...... I was thinking of getting a few Hanna Checker test kits because I hate trying to match the...

Is this the same as a six line wrasse?

Hey guys, I was hoping to get a little advice of some things I may possibly be doing wrong. I have had my tank going for about 2 years now. First started with a 10 gal, then 30 gal, now I am at a 55 gal with a 30 sump tank. Water parameters are below obtained from API test kits and salinity...
