    Running Skimmer 24/7...??

    I get it. It will take that required quantity to get to the desired level. Obviously not all at once. This thing is a life saver.

    Running Skimmer 24/7...??

    Running Skimmer 24/7...??

    so do most people in this situation use a 2 part dose on alternating days, add kalk to top off, and separately dose mag as well?? Was also thinking of changing to the Red Sea accelerated growth salt. Im almost our of Reef Crystals. Pretty sure it wont be a fix but maybe worth a try

    Help with set up ideas

    40 Breeders are a great size tank. I have a 30 and its aqua scaped with two islands formations. mostly LPs & SPS on rocks. really cool look. prefer it over a wall of rock on back glass. feel like the fish have more privacy and different areas of tank to explore
