Hello All--hoping I can get a good recommendation. I recently moved from a situation where my water was being topped-off from the basement below up about 5' into the tank. AT my new place, there is no basement, and the RODI unit is T'd off of my washing machine, which is about 15 feet away from...

I have been battling brown algae for months now....NOTHING I do gets rid of it. I am wiping down my glass twice a day....I wake up and it needs cleaning and especially at the end of the day when the lights were running, MAJOR algae EVERYWHERE. And this is relatively recent. These are the details...

My tank is 14 years old....I have always had high Nitrate and Phosphate issues, and have tried everything. I am now back to a refugium, and to that end am using my center compartment in the sump, lighted by a Kessil H160 Tuna Flora. I bought a baseball size (2 of them) bunch of Chaeto and now, a...

Over the past 2 weeks, I have lost most of my fish. Gem Tang, Purple Tang, 2 Yellow Tangs, Sohal Tang, Tomato Clown, Wrasse, Powder Blue Tang and a Hippo Tang. When this first started happening, I thought it was Ice, but the fish didn't look like they had been infected with that. Their skin was...

Does anyone use both simultaneously, or is it either one method or the other?

So it's now been 14 days. Not only has his foot not attached, he is still only showing a little of the mantle. He still does react if something gets close. He is always open a bit and then closes tight if I pick him up. But then opens a bit again. My parameters are: Ca: 450 Alk: 7 Mg: 1300...

I am replacing my Synergy Reef sump with a Bashsea. The Synergy sump has 2 inlets (bulkheads) to accommodate each of the overflow hoses. I just got my Bashsea, and they only have one inlet. Apparently, the "second generation eliminated 2 inlets." So the advice I got from Bashsea (excellent...

Dear All: I have a 180G mixed reef tank, and have had NO3/PO4 issues for years. I am running Carbon, and 2 months ago, started using BRS Biopellets. I am also dosing NOPOX. When I started with the biopellets, I stopped running GFO (in my BRS dual reactor--the other chamber is where the carbon...

Just discovered about 30 of these next to eachother in a remote part of the tank near some rock. Any ideas as to what they are and should I remove them?

Dear Group: I have read almost every post regarding CA Reactors, and was hoping you could be of help with mine, which is a Aquamaxx C-tech T-2, which is being fed by an APT peristaltic pump. First of all, for the life of me, I cannot get the air bubbles at the top to go away. The MAIN reason...

So today I decided to clean my Radions. After doing so, I hooked everything back up, but WXM is no longer showing my lights. I have been researching this issue for hours, and finally decided to reach-out to the community. This far, I have updated the firmware in each of my 3 Radions via USB, and...

I'm hoping to get some good advice from the group. I have a 180g mixed reef tank. My parameters are where they should be and are very stable. I'm a HUGE Zoa fan, but for the life of me, I can't keep them thriving! I've determined that my lighting is the culprit (3 Radion XR30 Pro's). I've fried...

I just received a persistaltic pump that I am going to hook-up to my Ca Reactor to replace my Mag2 feed pump. Does anyone have any idea how to hook this up? I don't know where to place the 2 tubes that come out of the pump!

Hello all: I want to control my Ca Reactor using the pH probe via a Neptune pm1. I installed everything, and the pm1 is showing-up on my Apex display screen. I am not sure what to do now? Can someone direct me to, or perhaps give me a step-by-step to get this going? Right now, the pH probe is...

I finally got my Ca reactor up and running. Right now, I have the circulation and the feed pumps on to get things going and to purge the dual chambers of air. Both chambers are filled with ARM. Is there a downside to letting the water flow from the reactor into my sump w/o dialing in the Co2?

Dear All: After much research, I've decided to purchase a Ca Rx for my 190G reef tank. I have mostly softies, 13 or so fish (mostly Tangs), anenomes, etc. all controlled by a Neptune Apex. So far, I have decided to get the following (I am not limiting my budget): Neptune pm1 Neptune...

I have decided to get a Ca reactor. I've been doing A LOT of research and have narrowed my choices to the following: Either a Reef Octopus dual chamber CR3000D or a GEO C618; 10# C02 tank; A C02 regulator Aquariumplants.com Electronic Co2 Regulator (with 8 digit LCD Counter) Which...
