This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: BigAl's 10g . . .

You know, it occurred to me that BIG Al has a TEENY tank...

What's the psychoanalyzation on that one?

Re: BigAl's 10g . . .

Setting up one for $200 is the easy part.. it is the maintenance and additions that are wallet killers
Reefing is one small upgrade after the other. LOL!

Truer words have NEVER been spoken. Setting it up was the EASY part (financially speaking) but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've enjoed it every step of the way even the tough times were good. I could have been doing a lot WORSE things than here at home with my wife mixing salt water and testing (doing that tonight actually). And it's become a PASSION rather than a hobby. And the best part of it is that she is sharing in this passion with me. When someone asks a "Reef Question" and Julie knows that answer my heart skips a beat. It makes me proud.

Thank you so much Scott. Honestly having you and the rest of the RS gang here to watch over me and help me out means a lot. Your kind words touch my heart and I really appreciate it all.
