Well guys, just incase anyone was wondering or had the same issue as I did. I have went ahead with the White G.E. 1 silicone and setup my fuge. I let it cure for about 3-4 days till I could not smell a sour vinegar smell coming from the fuge anymore. It has been about 2-3days and my corals and...

Not really chasing a specific PH, just wondering why it got so high after being stable for a solid month. Went to the lfs today where I bought my chaeto. He said the chaeto could be releasing a lot of oxygen into my tank thus raising the PH. Is this true? The chaeto is in my display tank as of...

Thank god! as this is my second time redoing my baffles for my refugium. The first time i used G.E 2 only to find out its bad for my little fishes. This time I used G.E.1 but in WHITE!!!!! DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just glad to hear its safe. Now i can let it cure for a few days before i can test out...

I have the two little fishes phosban reactor. but haven't set it up yet. Dont want to throw media in there and have problems. So i'll take it slow. I accidentally bought a maxi jet 600 for my reactor. Would this be too much flow for phosban or carbon?

I've searched through the forums for a safe aquarium silicone. I've read many people use the GE 100% silicone 1 for windows and doors. My question is, I accidentally bought the white silicone instead of the clear. Is it still safe?

Hi guys, thanks for the response. I am using a API saltwater master test kit. I've been using it for the past month which is how old my tank is. It's been stable at 8.0-8.2 for the life of my tank. I retested just now and am getting the same results. I will try to take a sample to my LFS and...

ok so about 5 days ago my ph was about 8.0-8.2. Yesterday I bought some chaeto (sp?) to add to my newly built refugium. long story short, the refuguim was not ready to accept water,sand,chaeto or anything for that matter. So I added it to my display tank. Tonight I just tested my water and now...

As the title states, how do I start using carbon and phosban in my tank? Can I just throw it in my new TLF reactor and bingo I'm done? Or do I have to introduce it slowly as if I were too acclimate a new fish to my tank? How did you guys who use these two media introduce it to your tank? Any...

thanks for the info blake, or is it john? blakejohn :clink: I know u can run the gfo for a few months right? but what about the carbon, how often do you change it? I know it really depends on my tank but my water looks pretty clear so lets just say on an average, clean looking tank. How long...

that is good to know that i should give it a good shake every couple days. Do you use your gfo and carbon in a reactor or do you bag them?

awesome, how often do you guys change your carbon and phosphate?

What is the best phosphate and carbon to be used in a reactor?

well today my blue lined wrasse came out and to my horror. it looked like fungus had taken over its fin and wound. i was able to catch him and bag him. took him to the LFS and the owner was nice enough to take him back and i exchanged him for a marine betta. I bought the blue lined wrasse about...

can't find him now. he's been in hiding for the last two days

Looked up lymphocystis online. Doesn't look like it. He is eating and acting normal except he isn't using his right fin to swim. I will try to take a better picture when he is out and about. Right now he is hiding somewhere.

Theres something wrong with my blue lined wrasse. His right fin has some white spots and looks like a piece of his fin is missing. There a small wound...small circle in front of his right fin. looks like a bite mark or something. Is this ich or did one of my fishes nip at his right fin? I...
