    How to dose Magnesium (B-Ionic) with Dosing pump

    Hi Dan, I do a 6- 7 gal water change every week. It's not a typo but it's only a couple ml and it could be the difference in the dosing pump lines, etc. (I can tell because the Cal line on bottle is slightly higher then the Alk when using the same amount.) I'm checking numbers again today. I...

    How to dose Magnesium (B-Ionic) with Dosing pump

    What Temperature Do You Keep Your Tank At ?

    77 to 78 with chiller. Darn good thing I'm using a chiller because are a/c went out last night and repairman won't be here until tomorrow! (We live in Las Vegas.)

    Max C-250 - T5 to LED Conversion

    Totally agree and I have experience with Steves LEDs with a previous aquarium. They are definitely not plug n play.

    RSM 250 C Maintenance - how often do you clean pumps, etc.

    I have my Tunze 3155 ATO in the left chamber on the plastic wall that divides the heater chamber from the skimmer chamber. It's a tight fit but I never have to move it. You can also install with magnet on the aquarium wall and floats facing chamber). I also have a chiller pump in dedicated chamber.

    Hi Melvin, I've also read daily small water changes would probably be ideal. But a little too much work for me.

    Hi Pat, yes it's the Drsfostersmith link. And it's free shipping if you buy over $49.00 worth, at least here in the states. I buy a bunch when they have a sale.

    I'm with you; no matter how many times you rinse them you can't get them completely clean. I think I'll take them out just for the sake of less work. In the media rack I'm using Chemi Pure Blue, Purigen and Poly Filter on top. Poly Filter is kind of expensive but it works like a little miracle...
