I've set up a tank, which at the moment only has a couple of clowns and cheato luckily.
It's a barebottom with Aquaforest rock. Since it's a new tank with no corals, I've not checked Alk often, only NO3 and PO4.
I use RO/DI, which I check regularly, and my instant ocean mixes to 11 dKH, but, I...
Hi I’m new to mixing my own salt water. I use redsea coral pro. I do a 10L water change every week. I follow the recommended 38.2g per litre of RO water, so for my 10L water change I would require 382g. I test salinity around 1.5 hours after adding the salt to find I have a specific gravity of...
Hey! This is my first time posting on here and my second time trying to start a reef tank after bombing it the first time back in 2021 it was a total disaster. I started a 13.5g AIO back in july then transferred everything to a 32.5g AIO gradually, which seems to be doing well but after testing...
So my neighbour's tank broke this morning and he called me to salvage what I could. His tank was probably 55-75 gallons without the sump and had a bunch of coral, a clownfish, and a cowfish. (His hardwood floor was messed up real bad and he's wanted it all gone for a while prior to the leak)...
My alk is off the charts high I need to reduce asap. The build is a 45 tall corner with 5 gallon fuge, ceramic reactor in sum with surface skimmer.
Here's my "official" stats I recorded earlier. Can't seem to find a clear answer on lowering alk, especially using vinegar. Please please please...
I have been an aquarist of sorts for over 10 years now, but didn't dive into the salt side until just over a year ago. Like most people i started small with a bicube16 and probably didnt do enough research here before starting.
Long story short, I started with Coral Pro salt mix and never once...
I have a 65 gallon and it’s been set up for a few months now. I had two clowns, blue sided wrasse, orange spotted goby, Pygmy dwarf angel and some inverts as well as some corals. I did a water change last night and then tested everything because I had an order from WWC coming today. My...
So I did a water change and tested my readings this last weekend and noticed my alk consumption had gone up so I increased the timer on my BRS dosing pumps. I did a typo in the APEX programming for the outlet and the dosing pump has been left on for 4.5 hours the last 3 days. My Alk is reading...
First, I Would love to # Terrance and crew to thank them but can’t find them
I know we’ve all have gotten alarms on our tanks for something going wrong but this has no alarm, at least none that I have.
Jumping right in, I generally test my Alk about every 2-3 days unless I’ve mixed new...
