I am thinking about purchasing a calcium reactor. I think the Knop looks like a pretty good unit. Any results of other reactor would be appreciated. If i start using a CA reactor what chemicals should i stop using. Currently I dose the following 10oz of Natur Reef Former daily 50ml of part A...

I have recently switched from Kent Chemicals from B-ioncs and some of my hard corals don't look as healthy. This is not a slam on Kent but can your tank get acustomed to a certain brand? thanks KFH

Looking for a nice one that will handle a 120 gall reef tank. There are so many out the and i am not a DIY kinda guy. An sugesstions/experince would be greatly appreciated with different manufacturers. Thanks KFH

nice tank

Yes, exactly what happened! It was like a hairy white stuff hanging off of him as he was disintegrating. I thought something was on his body eating him. Unfortuantely, I am afraid we have lost him. :( Not even his detached legs are "alive" and moving. So sad as he was one of my favorite...

Thanks Minh! Aprox 4 months. I will watch the water

forgot to add - 120 G - many corals and 4 other fish all doing fine since this began 1 1/2 days ago. He ate fine that same morning and also seems to like feasting on the turbo snails (which were also added a short period before this began).

Really need help. I have been searching, with no luck!, everywhere for an answer as to why our brown brittle starfish has just started to disintegrate. It started with a hole in its center. Not all the way through but just on top. Now he is just coming apart everywhere. Legs falling off...

if money was not the concern, what would be better:(A)3 mini de 250's or (B) 3 mogul base 250's with spider reflector both with the same ballast? KFH some many choices which one is right :?

so what is a good pump for a closed loop system? with say 6' head? KFh

Good question! I never check what the old ones were but I know that they were from different manufacturers...... Could that really be it? If so I left them at the LFS for disposal. OPPS! What now I have skimmed some of it off and got a few sand gobeys to see if they might clean it up. Also I...
