    New sump/Fuge/replacing old filter

    Hello All, I am going to replace my Toms Rapids pro filter with a brand new sump/fuge. Will I have any problems with this new addition? Is it possible to have a mini cycle?

    Salt mix problem

    I use a 30 gallon garbage bucket in my basement to make the water and yes I keep it covered. I usually make about 12 gallons of water a week. So there is a lot of head space in the bucket since it's about 1/3 full. I am afraid stuff may get in my water if I leave the top off but I could give it...

    Salt mix problem

    Salt mix problem

    Hello, I recently changed the salt I use for water changes. I used Red Sea Coral Pro for 4-5 months now. I always got a PH of about 8.1 in my water every time. I bought Coralife salt because it was on sale this past time. I now get a PH reading of 7.7 the first 2 times I have made my water. Has...
