    New Kalk Reactor Design

    Only problem I would see, unless I am missing something is that you have the water being forced up through the kalk through the bottom so you are going to form a channel basically where the water is rising since it will not rise evenly (I had the same issue on a smaller scale). You may just...

    H&S Protein Skimmer

    I have an H&S A150-2001 for my 100 cube tank and it is by far the best skimmer I have ever purchased. I set it up and within an hour it was pulling out skimmate I havent touched it since maybe other then once or twice to get wetter/dryer skimmate and it has been up since October of last year. HTH

    Start of one "BIG" SPS tank

    It also allows the fresh cut side to be exposed for healing. It give you more area which will encrust and the faster it can secure itself the faster it will start branching up.

    Just Sharing a few pics - mainly SPS

    Appreciate the comments. Tank will be changing shortly since I will be tearing it down to move (not looking forward to that but it will allow me to thin some of the corals out I have to many in there now).

    Which Pump

    Two fighting each other benefit that fact that when the two streams flow hits each other it will create random flow.

    monti help please

    that would mean that your corals arent using the calcium if it is staying at that level without buffering. As for your alk I run mine at 11-12 as i feel I get the best colors aroung that range I know many other reefers who try to keep their alkalinity in that range as well. In my mind with...

    Which Pump

    I run all three of your options in my frag tank I have the nano streams and in my display I run two VorTechs and one Tunze 6100. Like others said they all have their advantages and disadvantages. NanoStreams you cant dial in the flow rate but they are really small and pointable which is always...
