I have been doing a 22 Gallon water change every Sat. ( probably overkill since it was 100% new water anyway) and I also have a mag 12 pump for my return and I also have 3 Koralia evolution power heads in the display so I dont think flow is an issue or water changes. I have no however blown the...

Hi Everyone.... I recently tore down, and moved my 90 gal tank. I had a pretty bad Hair algea problem. What I realized was I had not changed my RO DI filters in quite some time and my phosphates built up. So my tank has been back up for about a month now, and I used all RO DI water and there are...

No everything is the same other than the lighting at not. The tank is also grounded so it Shouldn't be that. During the day he is totally normal and it's like a pig. I just wish someone knew what this was.

Hi guys... please watch this video I filmed of one of my two clownfish... they are about 2 years old. I recently moved my tank from the location in the video to an in wall setup... the fish has the same behavior in both locations. Water parameters now are perfect. Also this usually only happens...

Yea I figured. Well ill put a valve on the pump outlet and see what happens. I have the new updates injector assembly being shipped to me now (second time this has cracked from the air valve being tightened just a touch to much or accidentally bumping it) Instead of the air valve being screwed...

Got ya. I just found a mag 24 at My work yard from an old pond..... Is this way too big??!! Can it actually damage anything?

Ok. Thanks for the info. From the info I found and my email with MRC themselves they told me there were two pumps they recommended for the skimmer, and one of them was the mag 8. Well the mag 12 is way to much just for the return pump to my DT anyway so I will switch them and see why happens.

Ok great. Well I have the mag 8 for the skimmer that is recommended.. I also have a mag 12 I could use so what's my best bet for figuring which to use? Can one be TOO powerful?? Again at max I would say it will be pushing through 4' maybe 5' of 3/4" hose

Hi everyone... I am hooking up my my reef creations mr-1 skimmer. I previously had it installed in sump but was told the output needed to be above the water line. I am having trouble installing it under the tank, so I want to install it up at tank level, next to the tank. My tank is installed in...

It's funny how my swing arm is on exactly the same and is actually a lot easier and quicker

Just an update.. I floated the calibration solution, and it worked perfect.

What About the refractometer itself? Where should this be kept? In my heated office so it's not cold?

Its a c scope refractometer... Could is have anything to do with temp? Sometimes the refracto is behind my tank in the garage ( I have an in wall tank so the equipment is in garage) and the solution might be warmer in the house or vice versa. I have kept both in the house however and this still...

I am using a 1.026 calibration solution to calibrate, and it is off .05 everyday... where as my old swing hydrometer is dead on everyday..... anyone know why or whats up? Why should I have to be calibrating this everyday?

Thank you... The stone is an EP Henry Product.. I am a landscaper, and actually just had it left over at my yard so I used it..... Yes the door is pretty scary right? When I initially hung the TV about a year ago, I pictured a mad employee, or just me for that matter opening the door to quickly...

Hey Everyone, I think I did this thread backwards from most. I did not post pictures during my build, but I finished the project and am posting now. I am about 95% complete. I still need to hook up my MRC-1 Skimmer, and waiting on my Phoenix 14000k 250W MHs. This is a 90G AGA tank with corner...

*he

Yea be is exhausted afterwards. All the fish are currently in. 20 g hospital tank for the last week as I am relocating my display tank as an in wall setup in my office. And he's it still happens in there.

It still happens a couple times a day, but other than those episodes it acts totally normal jut like always. Always has a strong appetite also. It's actually hard watching it happen.

Thanks. Besides the return pump I use 3 koralia power heads. A 1450 a 1050 and a 750 so I do have good turn over in that respect but maybe I will rethink this.
