Hey coral friends,
My aquarium is a reef tank with fish that I have been using chemi-pure blue on for roughly 6 months, along with phosguard.
I am looking for the best alternative to chemi-pure blue; one that I can fill my own filter media bags with. All price points are welcomed.
Thanks for...
Hi all, I have a beloved toadstool in my tank with SPS and LPS coral. I also have some Zoas. I like the idea of running some carbon simply as a preventative if/when coral warfare happens (perhaps after fragging).
However, reading about the most popular carbon - ROX 0.8 - it seems like this is...
Ok, so I am getting ready to finish my cycle in a fluval 13.5, and have a few questions. I just put some snails in and a tiger conch and they seem to be doing just fine; however my nitrites are not quite 0, but not .25 either.
1st: is it safe to put corals in with trace nitrites?
2nd: what...
Hi All,
Has anyone else had problems with running chemi-pure elite and their GSP. My GSP had closed up when I started running chemi-pure elite.
It's been maybe 4 days that my GSP is closed. Nothing else changed in the system except swapping chemi-pure blue for elite.
My nitrates and...
does anyone know of a filter that is good for taking out fine particles in water? and what filter would be good for a small reactor to keep fine particles like chemi-pure inside the reactor?
Please and thank you :)
Yesterday I saw a post on R2R that started me down a rabbit hole I didn't even know existed. As someone who has always run a "high quality" carbon in their filtration I never thought twice about it.
However, it appears there is quite the debate on running a carbon source in an aquarium. After...
I was wondering does anyone know if it is ok to use chemi pure elite and Phosguard in filtration at same time? I didn't know for sure if for some odd reason mixing the two would have any kind of negative affect on my tank which i wouldn't think so saying its removing things out of my tank not...
So I'm still learning, but when I got my tank 4 months ago, it came with carbon bags. I'm not sure how old they were or how long they were used, but I never replaced them with new carbon when I started the tank up. One I ended up switching out for Chemi-pure Elite and still haven't touched the...
I bought some Boyd Grande Chemi-pure from LFS and it had a lot of moister in it. It had enough to start dripping out of the nylon bag. My question is bought brand new is it supposed to come moist or dry?
Hello All,
I have newly established RSM E 170 that is just over a month old. I know this subject has been beat to death but I am very frustrated with the explosion of GHA in my tank. Currently my Phospates are at .08ppm and Nitrates are at 0. These levels have remained constant for a week...
