    Currently batting Dinos, no water change means alk and cal out of whack!

    Hi everyone! I have been battling a mild Dino outbreak and part of my plan of action is no water changes. My alk has dropped to 6DKH and my Cal to 360ppm it used to be 8DKH and 420ppm. This Alk and Cal consumption happened over the span of 20 days so it wasn’t a fast change. My PH was at 8.2...

    Georgia DIY Tubing for BRS 1.1ml Dosing Pumps: 5' for $10 shipped

    Salt Brand Suggestion - Discussion

    Hi all! I like to support my LFS in anyway I can. One way is I purchase the salt they use. I’ve tested it’s Alkalinity and it’s bad. Not sure if it’s the batch because the salt seemed to have got moisture in it because it was hard but it did soften quickly when dropped on the floor like you...

    Phosphate and Nitrate out of balance. Help needed, stupid reefer here.

    Yeah the title sums it up. Phosphate was 0.7 so I used GFO and nopox to get it down to zero. Got dino, let the tank dirty out for months fed food, skimmer offline. Dino went away and now I have 25 nitrate and zero phosphate. Luckily I only have a couple of softies in the tank so nothing too...

    increase potency to decrease volume of 2 parts

    Sorry about silly question here: When I mix up BRS 2 part solutions, can I double the amount of product while keeping the rodi liquid amount the same? My goal is to double the potency so I can decrease by 1/2 the volume dosed per day. (Example: DOS doses 200mL calcium and 150mL buffer daily...

    My Trident Review

    So I received my Trident a couple days ago. I've been playing around with it and here's what I've come up with so far. They give you a small piece of paper in the box that tells you to go to TASKS>Trident Initial Setup. They also give you a piece of paper with a BIG NO NO on plugging it in...

    Trying to Maintain a steady alk for my sps.

    So the past few days I've been testing. In short, I tested the Alk initially, after three days, and after six days. It had averaged a drop of 0.166 dKh/day for both tests. I used the Hannah alk checker, along with my standard for assurance. Basically, my (130ish gallon) system went from 8.2 to...

    Alk Swing Crisis Averted...but my Torch Coral Didn’t Like It

    It had been smooth sailing so something had to test me to see if I was on my A-game right? I guess I had somehow shaken loose the acrylic tube from the bulkhead in my dosing container that contains my Alkalinity buffer. I dose 28 ml of Ca and Alk per night via my Jebao dosing pump spread out...
