    10,000K light over 6700k

    I'm currently using Iwasaki 6500K bulb. I don't like its yellowish color. 10K gives you more natural color as well as your corals will look more beautiful.

    Ca reactor GURU's help needed.

    Cool BigMac, but here's my question. If Alk has already dropped down, how can you bring it back up w/o using buffer solution? And what do you control/adjust by adjusting the output drip rate? Thanks.

    Ca reactor GURU's help needed.

    Hi all, i need a help to understand how can you control Calcium and Alkalinity levels with calcium reactor, using CO2 input needle valve and reactor output drip rate. Quantity of bubbles in bubble counter can control the ammount of Ca being dissolved, as i understand. But how can you control...

    My DIY CaCO3 reactor

    Originally posted by tangsfornuttin I'm guessing that $100 doesn't cover the tank and regulator? Oh no. it doesn't.

    water levels what do you think

    xrayman, if your ALK is 4.5 Meq/l, so it's in the upper limit. Could be lowered a bit. But it's OK if you able to keep stable your Ca level at 440 ppm.

    Which is the better coral? My next addition..need help

    Stay away of Goniopora and Alveopora species. This is very difficult coral to keep even in perfect conditons and by professionals. Other corals you mentioned are pretty much simple to keep healthy for long periods.

    Good place to buy a CO2 Regulator

    Have a good luck!!! Follow the directions. Do not overdo with CO2 bubbles. Remember: CO2 will lower the PH of your system!!! Set about 20 bubbles a minute and as 1 drop per second on the reactor output. This is for the begining.

    Good place to buy a CO2 Regulator

    The solenoid is primary used in combination with PH controller. As PH drops PH controller shuts down solenoid. Solenoid is connected to the CO2 supply prior the reactor unit. I use solenoid without PH controller. Reason??? When there is a power outage, i don't wanna CO2 to continue entering the...

    Well, my regulator is CO2 welding regulator. But it's pretty much the same principle.
