My socks are filthy, but i think i know why. Most of the gunk is i think what i'm dosing, (reef Roy, fauna marine for filter feeders, etc) i feel like i'm wasting all my dosing supplements into them. besides the skimmer is doing a great job with dry skimmate . What do you think should i take...

I'm a bit lost about my phosphate parameters. I have a huge macro-algae refugium, that helps with my stability of my reef. Now i've just found this table of parameters. For a Macro algae tank it says .5ppm and for my mixed reef it needs to be at 0 ppm. Right now its at .5 , so i'm ok for my...

Last night their was water on the floor..............either my new sump or my RODI reservoir. Made a water change to empty the RO and set it aside. clean up and dry it and put towels to see if water would continue to leak from the sump. I was hoping not................this means another damn set...

Who when we talk about mixed tank have macro-algae with their coral. Is it more difficult or easier to maintain. I'm thinking of the ideal because i'll have tangs and they used to eat the macro's i use to give them from my refugium. So i see it as a pro what would be the cons.

Ok i have a Vertex; Puratek RO system that i haven't change RO filters in 2 years of continuous use. And the particule reader indicates 00PP still. I haven't change the membrane either , just the carbon and pre-filter once in 4 years. So do you think my meter is faulty. Or my water is of...

I've been recounting my experience with some macro's in my display refugium and i'm not sure if my photo-period was enough. Any thoughts........ I have led's for the fuge Maxspect 10 k .

Just wondering if anybody else used prodibio start up to start their tanks and how it went. When did you add your fist inverts and fish. What fish was it and how many a week did you add. Thanks.

Last night i saw some water just a bit behind my tank. Now i've just restarted the system and though of the worse. The small amount was directly close to the wall. Looking at all the dust on the pipe no indication of dripping that i could see. My RODI tube goes through there and sometime...

I was out of the hobby for 10 months for special circumstances, but is it me or people are leaving the hobby. I'm saying because out of my 10 hobbyist friends only two of us remain. My LFS says the same thing . How's the hobby in your neighborhood? Whats going on with the market.......any body...

Their's all king of reason to do both these options. And their's reason to change back depending on what you've started with. So tell us your reasons and what advantages you find in it.

Hi guys right now i'm in a buzz over restarting my tank. I'm on the net gathering info, what i'm going to buy , what to buy first anyway you get the picture. I'd say 80% of the fun in the hobby is setting up a tank. Now how long does it last; what's the thing that you think will annoy you or...

Hi just a question about your sand. Right now i have nothing in the tank i'm just restating my tank, in cycle, and with new pumps Tunzes. The flow of water is creating ridges and little mounts that i find kind of interesting to look at and actually tells me where the water flow is going and...

Someone just tweet me that i could fill my 265 G tank faster with tap water at first for the cycling. I was surprise by the suggestion, and wonder . I know their's no life yet in the tank, and the cycle is a few weeks to months. But i'm perplex as to this. I've research the use of tap water and...

One of my maxspec is going it a 10 000K for my display refugium. its going to fail soon. I have another one that's still working perfectly. Now my problem is to replace that one with the best light possible. Masxpect doesn't make those anymore. Its all 15K. Do you have a light suggestion...
