I installed a CS6-2 nearly 2 weeks ago in a 90 gal. reef. Finally am producing some foam and was wondering where other users keep the water level at? More specifically the interface between the foam and the rising bubbles. I currently have the adj. riser set so that the line betwwen the actual...

posted this the other day and unfortunately- no response. Trying again out of desperation. Set up my new Coralhound dual calcium reactor the other day but have been unable to get the bubble count stabilized. I have an Air Products dual stage regulator with a Nupro 4BMG metering valve (both very...

Just set up my new Coralhound dual chamber calcium reactor but am having a problem with the CO2 flow. Bubble count in the counter is very erratic. I am using an Air Products regulator and a Nupro 4BMG needle valve (both very high quality). I have tried running the pressure from 4 to 15 psi with...

I was wondering if fellow Turboflotor users actually get a dry foam in the collection cup or just the tea colored liquid that drips off the lid as the foam that sticks to the lid dissolves? Also I am eagerly awaiting a Dual Compact/Econo calcium reactor from Coralhound and was hoping that other...

Just ordered a Coralhound calcium reactor and was wondering if a ph meter is absolutely neccesary for using it? If not, what test kit is capable of accurately measuring both the tank and effluent ph? Thanks!!!

I have read every article I can find on maintaining these and my situation just doesn't make sense! Salinity - 1.025 Alk - 8dKh (2.86meq/L) Ph - 8.2-8.3 Calcium - 320 Magnesium - 1290 I have tried raising my Calcium level using water changes, dripping kalk (24/7), Seachem Reef Advantage and most...

I recently lost the smaller of a pair of true Perculas ( must have had a nightmare and flipped out of the tank ). I would really like to get his mate a replacement and was wondering if there are some hints to finding a suitable mate. Thanks!!!

I have a 90 gal w/120lbs of 80% Corraline covered rock, 1 Leather and an Elegance. I am completely unable to raise my calcium level (340) and alk is very unstable (but usually 6-8.5. Ph is 8.2, salinity is 1.025 and Magnesium is 1260. I drip Kalk 24/7 and average 1.5 gals. per day. Ihave tried...

I have had a 90 gal. set up for a little over a year now and can't seem to make any progress. Seems I'm always battling one problem or another ( algae, chemistry, etc ). Was wondering if there are any experienced reefers out there who live nearby that might be willing to give my setup a personal...
