you do not want to use bioballs, foam, or filter floss in your reef tank. nutrients will build up there and to keep them from being nutrient sinks, you have to rinse them out every day. that doesnt sound like fun to me.

thanks a lot. that really helps a lot.

i was born in denver in 1970. i moved away a few times and after my stint in the air force, i couldnt resist the the urge to come back. i got my first aquarium (freshwater) in 2003 and was convinced to get a reef going a couple years later. i had a 20L that was pretty packed with some great...

i agree too. lets make rmrc what it should be.

very nice. a little ingenuity goes a long way. are you combining some other tanks and putting everything in the 360g? what is the story?

what is the big difference between these two light systems. lets use a 250w DE setup. what are pros and cons with either and compare them to each other. i have never owned either and was looking into a lumenarc 250w light for my 24" deep tank. i hear great things about lumenarcs and i keep...

i'm here! a different name but the same guy. i am mbunakeith on "other" sites.

i dont know much about it. that is why i am asking. i know the sensors are mounted with suction cups, but i have a fix for that in my head already. as far as i know it does not come with a pump. i will be using it on the nano (20L). if it works good enough, i may put one on my FW 180g cichlid tank.

http://nanotuners.nanocustoms.com/nanot ... ucts_id=83 i am thinking about purchasing this unit, but not sure of the quality. would like some of your personal experiences with this. thanks.

i think the real problem is your Dkh or carbonate hardness. have you tested your dkh? my guess is that it is very, very low. if your carbonate hardness is up around 9 or so, where it should be, your ro/di water shouldnt make a difference to ph when it is added to your tank. how do add freshwater...

i have a css65 and i really like it. i have mine in the sump so it is out of the way. it really produces dark, smelly skimmate nicely. i give it a 9 or 10. for the price you cant beat it. mine seemed noisey at first, but now that it has been running for a few months, it really quieted down alot...

very cool. i like salifert also, but they are hard to come by around here for some reason. could just be me.

i cant find a magnesium test kit at any lfs in the city. does anybody have any they prefer> i am about to order one online and would love some facts/opinions about them. from personal experiences i have found large differences in different brands of test kits.

good advice that will inevitably fall on deaf ears.

i ordered a 10k and got it yesterday. the box does not say where it is made. we'll see how it turns out. has to be better than the coralife 20k it is replacing.
