    Aquarium service and setup near Gloucester Virginia.

    Is there anyone here that is familiar with a really good aquarium service in the Gloucester Virginia area? ...or Hampton Roads that won't charge a "king's ransom" for travel? I need some expert advice as far as setting up some frags in the proper places and also making sure that I am dosing...

    How to properly dose and safe practice

    Hello all was not sure if this should go in the sps discussion or not but here we are. How does everyone dose is it bad to just dose as needed or is it necessary to add stuff to your top up. My tank is 6 months old and up till now it seem water changes were enough. I do weekly water changes and...

    should I stop maintaining my parameters with TM all for reef?

    Situation: I have a waterbox 90.3 that I upgraded into from a system that was 2 years old and started 1 month ago today. while I knew that I would come into some chemistry issues, this one kind of stumped me to the point of needing some help and or a plan of action. i set the tank completely...

    Red Sea dosing question

    I just added a reef dose 2 to my system to help a little with the alkalinity and the nitrates. I was just curious on if I need to somehow vent the bottles. It seems like they would slowly go into vacuum as the pumps start pulling fluid out. Anyone using this system that can let me know what I...

    Dosing more Alkalinity than CA

    What effect will that have on my tank? I have noticed white specs all over my glass seems like precipitants. I know they are not alive I simply clean my glass and a few weeks later they return. Is this from mostly dosing Alk? If I continue this what will happen? So I am very new at Reefing...

    Does potassium nitrate and potassium phosphate react?

    I currently dose 1mg kno3 and 0.04mg kpho3 weekly but since it's weekly i often forget to do it, sometimes a couple weeks in a row with visible degradation to acro health, so i want to automatically dose it. I only have one channel free on my kamoer dosing pump. Can i mix potassium nitrate and...

    Alk dosing

    Hello - I have a 5 month old 40 gal aio. Parameters below. I’ve been testing every week to 10 days and my Alk fluctuates between 6.8-6.9 DkH. All other parameters are reasonable. I do 20-15% water changes every 2 weeks using reef crystals. Mostly LPS with some ricordea and Zoas. No SPS. Looking...

    To vacuum the sand bed or not when dosing silicate.

    I have been facing dinos in my Reefer 170 for more than 9 months now and eventually the prorocentrum have become the dominant one. They’re mainly on the sand bed. For about 3 to 4 months I have been keeping No3 at 5-15 ppm and Po4 at ~0.05 ppm through dosing. And adding live phyto and bacteria...

    Jebao dosing pump

    I got a jebao dosing pump a month ago, seem do be doing well. I got the dosing pump under the stand and it doses straight to the DT. I’m dosing Ab+ and planning to dose phytoplankton. But it seem to not holding the siphon. The liquid seems to drop back down in the lining. So whenever it doses it...

    Adding the Triton method to any balling method with Triton Infusion

    The Triton method is quite a bit more expensive than other balling methods, but it can be run more cheaply dosing Triton Infusion together with any balling method. We could be talking big savings: with a 100G tank consuming 1dKH per day, you'd spend: 284$ per year in Triton Core7 supplements...

    Raise alk and calcium with all for reef

    Hi there, I just checked my parameters and my alk and calcium are both very low: Alk ~5 dKH Calc ~350 I measured both with Hanna Checker. I ordered some all-for-reef to get into dosing but can I also just add a bit more the first several days to get around 8 dKH en 450 calc? After I get to that...

    Added dKH and PO4 zeroed

    Can dosing alk drop PO4? Is it appropriate to assume I made the corals happy and they are using the PO4? Both are being measured with Hanna testers that have always matched up with ICP tests. I started dosing Red Sea KH/Alkalinity to bring my system up to proper levels. I was in the 5’s and...

    These are an inexpensive way to create some functional and stylish dosing containers and you’ll be recycling/repurposing, too! The “GHL Edition” in the title is just a little humor because these happen to match my GHL Doser perfectly! A little added bonus for any other GHL owners out there. But...

    Nano Tank Struggles

    I have a 9 gallon reef tank that I obsess over a bit too much. I have dumped way too much money into the thing (although I know I could do more if I had the space). I’ll try and keep this brief but basically I need some pointers getting to the next level with sps. Personally, I think my numbers...

    Corrective Alkalinity dosing help

    My alk took a little drop over the years - my consumption is very low and the tank is sitting at 8dkh. I want to bring it up to 9dkh which is also where my salt mixes at. My thought was I was going to use Fritz sodium bicarbonate to add about 1/8th of a teaspoon a day for 4 days. 1/8 teaspoon...

    Dosing Pumps with Reverse Cycle to clear tubes?

    I can't single out a dosing pump that has a reverse functionality and was wondering if anyone could list a few. Size doesn't really matter as long as it can be automated to pull fluid back into the reservoir after pushing it into the aquarium. The idea is that you can auto dose refrigerated...

    Add phosphate with doser then remove it with gfo reactor on timer?

    Is it possible to dose phosphate during the optimal period of the daily photo cycle, based on the best time corals are known to absorb phosphate from the water? Then to keep it from climbing, and reduce the time spent monitoring, remove the phosphate daily, with a GFO reactor on a timer, running...

    Question about dosing supplements through top off water?

    Hi folks. So I know that you shouldn’t mix your alk and calcium 2 part up in your top off water because one will cause the other to precipitate. I also know that rate of evaporation isn’t exact so it won’t be exact amounts dosed if done through top off water, but… what about for supplements...
