Just curious to know if this is good for a reef tank.... ammonia - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 10 ph - 8.2 sg - 1.025 calcium - 410 kh - 8.6 phosphate - 0.03 alk - 3.09 mg - 1350 Thanks for any replies. I finally got the calcium over 400. Trying to hit 420-430 and keep it there.

Yea little at a time. Really shouldnt raise or lower more that .001 SG a day. Good luck.

Turbos are the best. Keep one per 20 gallons. Ive had mine for about 4 months. The mexican turbos are usually larger than regular turbos. Mine is about the size of a golfball. All they do is eat and poop. They are the elephants of the sea.

I raised mine by mixing 2 gallons of saltwater with an SG of 1.030 and used it to top off evaporation. In a matter of 6 days i raised my SG from 1.023-1.025. Didnt stress anything out.

Originally Posted by Tim_12 I'm actually putting together my second maxijet 1200 for my 46 bow as we speak. I also have ~100 - 150gph coming from my sump. With all that I'll get about 15x turnover. Any chance of posting a pic so i see where you placed them?

Originally Posted by carshark it depends on the look you want, really if you make a spraybar on one of your bigger powerheads, that takes care of surface agitatation, then use two other powerheads one pushing longways along the bottom and one in the middle pushing opposite, you shouldnt have a...

Originally Posted by joker_ca maxi jets are good, i have had good success with hagen aquaclear PH's I have a aquaclear 30 for my protein skimmer. Havent had any problems. The maxi-jets look a little more stealth. Not as much showing. I may go with those. What you guys think about SEIO?

Originally Posted by Aceroc I was rearanging my rocks and cleaning the diatom off my glass and found a bristle worm. I only found one, should i put it back in the tank or get rid of it? They are beneficial. I would put it back in. Unless its really big i wouldnt worry about it.

I have a 46 gallon bow. Can anyone recommend good powerheads? How many should i get? Right now i have a spray bar for surface agitation and im using a mini-jet to keep things moving behind my LR(70lbs). I wanna get more flow in there. I think thats my problem with keeping my sand white and LR...

You know what ive noticed a dug out spot in my tank also. Its right where my clowns go after lights are out. Ive never seen them dig though.

Its plenty of light for a FOWLR and for nice coralline growth. You can keep softs corals like mushrooms, polyps, zoos. Any hard corals with need metal halides or VHO depending on how deep your tank is.
