    Woops, got RO-right FW, instead of SW...

    I got RO RIGHT "Freshwater", instead of "saltwater"... I'm assuming that if i have a SW tank, i should not use this...since it probably puts the PH ~8.3 and the Alk at ~8-10 correct...

    copper dosed

    poly filters will remove LARGE flowing "Things" your talking about metal that is sooo fine, and in a liquid form... I use the Poly filter pads by corallife that are 100 micron...cut them up, and bust out the needle and thread, and make bags out of them, then cover the line going into my sump...

    My AMQUEL+ Test....minor Nitrate problem...

    Another piece on interest, I just took at look at my Algal mat, the sheet tripled in size since Thursday...is very strange (generaly this would take 2.5 weeks to get this size), and may be where the "nitrates" are *going*, along with the dark sludge that is coming out of the skimmer... I'm very...

    Floating stuff!?!

    Your problem is, that you need to skim closer to the surface, that's where a large majority of the protein lays...do you have a protein skimmer? of not pick up one...even a seaclone is better than no skimmer...get the prizm pro deluxe, there not bad for there price, if your in a pinch...

    copper dosed

    ICK ATTACK is NOT copper, it's an organic solution to riding a tank of ICK. Second, If you (or your friend) had actually dosed your tank with copper, there would be NO corals left. Third, if you’ve been doing regular water changes, without making up for the lost copper, then your copper levels...

    Slight Algae buildup.....Sand sifting star OR golby....See pics

    Diatoms maybe in there early stages...!!! Couple of things to suggest, First, this is *normal* in new tank, infact it can hapen as a cycle in some tanks. They suck up "some sort of acid" then go bye bye. When i first had mine set up, it lasted for about 2 months, then went away. 2, vacuum, or...

    My AMQUEL+ Test....minor Nitrate problem...

    UPDATE! Ok, well after the first treatment, Nitrates are ~15…slightly above 10, noticeably less than 20. I’ve noticed that my skimmer pulled some NASTY dark brown, almost black colored gunk. As usual, ammonia, nitrites, phosphate are undetectable. I’m going to give it another 12 hours, then...

    My AMQUEL+ Test....minor Nitrate problem...

    I picked this up today, and went on here to look for a discussion about AMQUEL+ seems as though eveyone says that it only removes Ammonia, which therefore lowers nitrates, as you will see below, I don’t have a Ammonia problem, in fact my nitrates are lowing naturally, through the use of a...

    is prizm pro/deluxe ozone safe?

    well i would not dose the tank with ozone THROUGH the Skimmer, but the dosing in the sump, may cause the skimmer to become brittle, and i want to make sure the Orings in the pump dont blow...or the skimmer fall appart...

    Diatom Filter on a reef tank...

    yea just like a DE pool filter...same media...it's rock (high silica though)... but it's fossilized diatoms(rock hard algae crushed up)...so my only concern is the sillica...but if the silica remains in the filter bag i cant imagine a problem. Mike, do you(or somone you know) use one on a reef?

    Diatom Filter on a reef tank...

    What's the word on them? I hear there great for "clearing up", but what about removing "good stuff", you all know what I mean. I’ve been thinking, I would be nice to "flip a switch" if guests were coming over one day, and it did some polishing... What do you all think?
