As mentioned in another thread, I’d really like BRS to do their standard evaluation & dive into the AI Hydra 52 HD. It’s their flagship model, doesn’t spread light the same way as the 26 HD, and is worth reviewing (with PAR mapping) as they’ve been around a relatively long time, you sell them...

Ok, everyone knows all the downsides etc. of a DSB, additionally I’m certain to get flamed in supporting the dsb....oh well. Normal. It happens. The topic/question here is NOT should you use a DSB that’s a debate I have no interest in discussing. Some background: I’m a fairly long time...

I have a 60 cube with an oversized sump as I built my own cabinet. Still the sump isn't big enough for both a skimmer and recommended chaeto compartment. I could replace the sump with one slightly bigger but still somewhat smallish. I should have build the cabinet bigger o_O So to do Triton...

I am hoping the simple answer is to have enough Chaeto in the refugium to out compete for space and nutrients over the hair algae. I have a couple of different sumps in my system but...

Hey guys! Well, some of you guessed it. This week on BRStv Investigates we are sticking with the EcoTech Radions, but taking an equally in-depth look at the XR15 G4 Pro! Wait til you see the special shipment Ryan received from EcoTech - a potential game changer for Radion lighting... ;Woot...

Now that you guys have established that the Kessil H380 is the king of the refugium. I would like to see nutrient uptake data in relation to lighting schedule. Some recommend using a 24 hr, some 18 and some reverse daylight. Any clear winner? Then as an expansion of that study I would love to...

Really looking for to an in depth look at AWC systems and options - specifically what salt mix can be stored in a reservoir and the viability of the practice. Is this still a slated thing?

Hey guys, Today we are investigating RODI even further by testing the effects of heated water on RODI unit performance. I think you may surprised with the results, even though most manufacturers test their membranes at 77 degrees! Let us know what you think about heating your water prior to...
