No on the TDS and my membrane and complete unit is only 6-months old. I am going to also buy one in a couple of weeks. I want to try this first. If my membrane ($90) is gone after 6-months something it wrong. I was looking at my carbon and it is orange/brown and my SILICAMAX filter has the...

Well I just checked my records ad my RODI filter is 6-months old ad I have made may many gallons of clean water. I wonder if this is the cause of my small outbreak? So I bought some filters (all but membrane)to see if that is it.

That is the question: I do not know why I even have it. I know you posted on my thread about this. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/140714/yup-need-help-with-cyanobacteria-red-slime If I try again and it comes back , I might try a wave maker. I do not want to "hi-jack" this thread by also if...

today is no lights for 3 days except for feeding (20 minutes total on time). I like to put on 5 minutes on actinic and then add 5 mins on 10K. Then feed, then turn off in same operation. So far the sand is really really clean, all brown cyano is gone. Tomorrow the times get hooked back up for...

I have an issue right now so I am trying the lights out for 3 days per Beth. I figure this is better then chemicals..

cool, what size tank?

I just ordered a small bottle online so I will see what happens.

My YT did not eat for days and he finally started eating the seaweed selects. Now he can't stop! I would also ALWAYS use a vitamin or Zoecon on the food. It will help you tang. It helped my tang with HELLE and I would also check for stray voltage (something to do down the road). I use liquid...

what is your clean up crew? DSB? I have only 240 watts in my 75 and a DSB of 5.0" I have these for fish/inverts but I still need more of a cleaning crew. -various snails (Turbo/Astrea) lot of 10 -10 Nassarius Snail -1 fighting conch (MIA now) -1 Cleaner shrimp -3 Mex Turbo Snails..HUGE and do...

me? I did and it comes out to about 1 lb per gallon. So far so good. On the flip side I do not know on "how would you know if you did not have enought"? All my tests comes out low/zero or within correct limits. I would think some ammonia or Nitrates or Nitites would be high but nope, very low...

It is one the left and somewhat in the middle. I will try to move the powerheads to move somemore "water" over there. If I also do the light deal will kill any coraline or LR algae in this short interval? How about just running the actinic only?

Ok you experts, I have read about this for months on SWF now I have it. I have used the wonderful search but I still can't get rid of it without the use of chemi-clean, red slime remover,etc. I am trying to this without the use of these items. So I need some help with the dreeded cyanobacteria...

Squidd- I remember reading it on SWF.com that it could be around 1 month. It took mine over 1.25 months to break into. so I rounded up, my mistake. I also said the 2 months since small bubbles can happen up to three month as posted by 007..."Break-In . . . . it took about three months for this...

the Kents should work but I now use my Tech CB to raise it. Well I only use Part B for ALk/Ph. Works good.

For some weird reason there are red, brown and green seaweed selects. From what I have read the times are like this: Red: 2-hours Green:24-hours (I use green). Brown:6-hours

I tried Salifert and Seatest and my Salifert is not "up and down" like the wind. The Salifert is cheaper in the end, trust me.

it can take up to 2 months to break in a skimmer.

I have the multi which his the same thing: Way are you feeding the skimmer with the maxijet and not the waverunner? It is either too large a pump or it is not getting any air into the pump for skimmer. I know my multi is very touchy with some things (carbon and sometimes new 50 micro pads make...

it depends. I have a wet/dry and use a Quiet one 3000 in the sump. also have 2 maxi-jet 1200 plus a 600 in the tank for movement. AS noted on this board you need a min of 10x water movement. So in your 72 you need at least 720 gph.

The problem I have is that if I point the PH toward the sand, it moves the sand to much. I have the southdown sand... I have 2 MJ1200 and a MJ 600 and my main pump.
