    Dosing Question

    I dose alk daily to the tune of 45ml a day. I'm using the BRS mix for alk, mag, and calcium. Does anyone think that dumping 45ml into the 125g tank all at once could pose any problems?

    ID Please

    Does anyone know what this little guy is? Smack in the middle of the picture at the base of the acro. It looks kinda like a star with short nubs and I believe it has a hard shell. Good, Bad, Keep or Ditch?

    Coral Color Additives What Do You Use?

    I was talking to friend and he mentioned that there are several coral color enhancing additives on the market that will really make your colors POP! I was wondering what some people think and use (if any) and what the results are before and after.

    Potassium Discussion

    I've been reading a lot lately on the importance of Potassium in the reef tank so I figured I'd grab a Salifert test kit (easiest to test potassium with) and a bottle of Brightwell Aquatics Potassium with my next fix of a shipment. OK shipment came today:) and here is what I've found out so...

    Current Nova Extreme 48" 8 bulb T5 W/Moon Lights

    I have no use for this fixture and it's time to offer it up to someone who can put it to good use. The fans are whisper quiet, everything works as it should and the fixture is in great condition. Two of the bulbs are no good and will need replacing. I'm offering it to RS members for a few...

    New Used Deltec Calcium Reactor

    Over the weekend I grabbed this Deltec Calcium Reactor from a friend. I'd like to get some input and ideas of setting this thing up. I've never used one and I'm not even sure what goes where. Currently I have everything bit the CO2 bottle and the media is on its way from BRS. Any help would...

    Frag Tank! 40G Breeder Build

    Well the time has come to begin a new DIY project. I discussed possibly building this in a previous thread and last night I did a little brainstorming and here is what I think the layout will look like. I find it easier to draw what I'm planning before I begin the actual work because too many...

    Apex Email & Text Notification

    I finally re-set-up my Apex controller this weekend. Being that I have no internet wall socket to plug the Apex into, I purchased a Lynksys Access Point router in order to be able to connect to the Apex. The problem I'm having is I can't seem to complete the test email and text alert. I...

    Red Sea DKH vs an Ultra Low Nutrient system

    Perhaps someone can shed a little light on this subject. I've been doing a little reading on Ultra Low Nutrient Systems (ULNS) and I also have looked into the Red Sea program. All of the information I have read states that when running an ULNS with bio-pellets or any other introduced carbon...

    Aqua Illumination SOL Blues

    I'm considering selling 2 or more of my AI SOL Blues. The only reason I'm considering the sale is because I have 2 Apollo LED fixtures and an Apex controller sitting in a box that I'm considering putting on the 125. There is nothing wrong with any of them and I'd like to get $325.00 each...

    Bio Pellet Reactor Help

    I'm considering the idea of adding a bio-pellet reactor to the 125. My sump space is maxed to the max and I think my only option would be http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/space-saving-reef-octopus-biopellet-reactor.html. The only glitch is where it would have to go in my sump leading to the...

    SPS Issues

    Lately I've been having some of my SPS corals growing super fantastic only to have them begin to turn white from the base and slowly die from the bottom up. Basically I have 2 small colonies that started out as 1" frags which I popped off of the plug and glued to a rock. They encrusted...

    USER BEWARE! please read:)

    I put this on my tank thread but I figured it would get more views if I gave it a snappy title:) For those of you using these American DJ switch on their tanks be carful and keep an eye on them! I just removed this from my tank because a second switch melted on me. If you look closely at the...

    Dosing Trace and Amino

    Currently I dose roughly 70 milliliters of Seachem Reef Plus 3 times a week in my DT. I have a Bubble Magus Dosing pump on order and I expect it to arrive this week. The question is: Do you think it would be better to dose something like 10 mils a day every day or, stick with the same 3...
