    Most common "reef myths" with little basis in reality...

    Its funny. I'd consider #2, #4, and #5 to be absolutely true based on experience. Yeah hermits kill snails, but they also eat a ton of algae. Totally agree on #3 and #7 though! With the caveat that if I could drive all bristleworms on the planet extinct I'd do it in a heartbeat. I get painful...

    how much heat does a submerged return pump add?

    ...pumps. These were the very first truly silent pumps that I saw in the hobby. They were known for running very warm. A single P4 ( models #2, #3,#4) could add 4-5 degrees to a 100 gallon tank. They were a external only pump What I did to be able to use them was to get a small clip-on fan ( 6")...

    Which support configuration is better for a 20g stand?

    Pic #2, with a plywood skin and plywood top would be laterally stable and plenty strong. You could build the whole thing out of 3/4" veneered plywood with screws and glue and it would be plenty strong enough. I had a plywood only stand for a 75g and 120g that was just fine.

    How do I program a "maintenance mode" to control channels on my Mitras?

    Thanks @Vinny@GHLUSA My Profilux 3 is master (#1) and the 3 lights run as slaves and are set on the same channel as #2, #3 and #4 respectively. All lighting programs work as expected. I connected to each of the lights and set 2 channels to 50% for Maintenance 3, every other channel to 0% and...

    Triton method - basic question

    ...if you are concerned. My dosages happen at the same time directly to my display over powerheads, therefore the solution dissipates instantly. #2, the only thing I can think of for the magnesium dosage is that dosing magnesium plays a role in minimizing abiotic precipitation. So as long as...

    Dinos or something else

    Except for pic #2, That looks more like Cyano. Pic #2 could be Dino's, but need a shot with way less blue. Dino's looks like a green slime with long strands with bubbles at the tip. The common Cyano is red/burgandy and also slimy but without the bubbles

    Return Pump Flow Rate

    The Varios2 pump at full-on speed had a return of around 460gph with a 4ft head pressure... since you are only on setting #2, I'd assume you are only around 100gph return possibly. I'd think you'd want it to be much higher, even in a 40g tank. Here's the head pressure chart for your pump...

    How to dose baking soda (powder) with doser

    For baking soda you'll want to follow Randy's recipe "Recipe #2, Part 2: The Alkalinity Part": http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php#11 It's basically the same as the BRS formula, so for calculating dosing amounts you can use the BRS calculator...

    Yep, PH issue, and possible other things.

    ...Another thing to consider is what you use to dose alk. Kalkwasser will raise pH a bit more than other supplements. I use Randy-Holmes recipe #2, which also is a high pH additive. One last thing I'm curious about is your housing situation. I live in an LA apartment and during the summer...

    Manual vs. Automatic Water Testing

    ...tank-related tasks I find the most tedious are doing water changes and water testing. Been running an AWS for a couple of years now, so that takes care of drudgery #1; trident takes care of drudgery #2, but only partly. If only somebody would make an automated device for nitrate and phosphate …….
