Just bought two Korilla 3 PH's. Can these be hooked up to a Wave maker? How often should you alternate flow?

We currently have a WD running off our 120 gallon with a dart return pump. The plumbing from the dart runs to a 3 way splitter with 2 going to the built in overflows and one to a middle outflow that is behind the rock work. The 2 going to the overflow are "y'ed" off with two loc-lines. One is...

I hope everyone is not getting tired of my posts! It just really helps when you can get advice from fellow saltwater junkies! Our refugium arrives today and I wanted to start getting thoughts on the transfer. The dimensions are 36"x12"x16". There are 4 chambers (3 baffles). Input is 8"...

For our 120 gallon tank, we currently have a W/D filter with two 1" pipes flowing water from the tank to W/D. The W/D is in the laundry room about 5' from the tank. We are wanting to add a 36"x13"x16" sump that will be place on the stand over the W/D. The top of the sump will be approximately...

We currently have some fine grain argonite in our 120 gallon tank. When I turn on the sump, the dart pump is pushing too much water through the tank and we are getting a sand storm. We only have about 2" of sand and have about 100 lbs of rock in the tank right now. My question is, can we add...

We just set up our 120 gallon tank. We currently have it plumbed through the wall into the laundry room. In the laundry room we have a wet/dry filter than came with the tank (I believe it hold 30 gallons). We plan to add a 55 gallon refugium as soon as I can find the tank. Running the w/d is...

I recently bought a used 120 gallon tank that came with a Dart pump. The guy had it just over 1 year. When I hooked it up, it has a leak and yesterday was making a high pitch noise. I have read where you should clean it out with vinegar water and that helps. Any other suggestions? My main...

Our aqualifter just went out and we do not have a LFS with one. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep it running without the pump? Both of the air holes push air with neither pulling.

We have some lace rock that has been out of a freshwater tank for several months. We just purchased a 120 gallon reef tank and need additional rock. We currently have a 56 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. I was wondering if just scrubbing the rock is sufficient or if we need to clean it with...

Hello All, My husband and I are upgrading our marine tank from a 56g to a 120g we currently have LS and I love it. However, my husband is thinking of going with CC or Aragonite ( spelling ). I really love the LS as i think it has very benificial bactiria and also looks great. My husband on...

I have a question for the experts. We currently have a ATO feeding our refug. with a 5 gallon bucket of water. We have been adding Kalkwasser to the 5 gallon bucket to help stabalize our calcium levels. My main question is this: When adding the kalkwasser, should I be preparing the mix (I...

We know we were on the aggressive side getting an anemone already (tank is 3 1/2 months old), but wanted something for our clown. We have two false percs and a maroon. The maroon is currently hosting the green BTA and it is struggling. We have had it for 2 weeks. Everything was fine at...

Just tested our Instant Ocean water before doing a change. Calcium is less than 350. Tank is 425. We have Concentrated Liquid Calcium by Kent. Should we add that to our fresh water before doing the change. We also have purple up and calcium reactor. Should we add anything or just adjust...

Does anyone have any experience with Seachem "Reefstatus" Magnesium, Stronium, and Calcium test kits? I was getting ready to purchase and read some bad reviews, but I am not sure of the experience level of the reviewers. Wanted to check here for some advise/comments. Thanks

OK, we have read about the relationship for calcium: ph, alk, and magnesium levels. As in my previous "test kit" post, we do not have magnesium test and are looking for recommendations on the test kit. We just tested for calcium, alk, and ph: 400, ~2.3, and 8.2. I use approximate because...

I would be very interested in what type of test kits everyone uses, positives and negatives, what they test for, approximate cost, how sensitive are each, and where they purchase. Thanks!!!! We currently test for: Alk, PH, PO4, NO2 & 3, Ammonia, and Calcium. We are looking to purchase...
