So I just started up my new tank. As a source of bacteria, I used Ocean Direct Live Sand and Dr. Tim's One and Only for Reef tanks. For ammonia, I used Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride. Tank is filled with saltwater at 1.025 specific gravity. Original water is RODI.
I added the bacteria and ammonium...
A month ago I was slowing switching from the Aquaforest Sea Salt bucket to the Reef Salt bucket by Aquaforest for my corals. My Alk used to stay around 7.7dkh but since then it keeps raising. The Reef salt bucket ICP batch code give me these results on the website: 35 ppt should have a dkh of...
Hi guys,
This is my first post ever :oops: sorry for any dumb questions!
I am new to Reef World and I've started my first cycle in a blue marine 30g tank with a back AIO sump.
I've bought the Red Sea Mature Starter Kit and I've been following the day-by-day guide.
Right now I am on Day 10...
I have some firework clove polyps that have gone really droopy and the stalks are thin and can't seem to support themselves upright. The bases of the adult cloves seem to be wasting (?) almost. This has been going on for about a month.
They have been sprouting new heads every so often which...
My ai prime has recently started switching to the same date multiple times a day. 05/10/2106 3:30am. Ive tried everything to get it to stay set to current date and time. Any suggestions?
Hello, I'm very new here but I was hoping I could get some help with my recent issue.
I started my nano tank end of last year and had a pair of clowns and some inverts in 10 gallon. Never any issues, even though my clowns were eating like pigs.
Recently I moved everyone to a new 10 gallon tank...

My LFS has this used nero 5 for sale for 115$. The issue is that it starts spinning for a turn then stops, then starts, again and again. Its like its stalling.
Does anyone know if this is a common issue, and if it is easy to fix? I would love to score a cheap nero pump. How is AI custommer...
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...

Hello everyone!
So my story begins with the first DOS & DDR Dosing System Package that I purchased around 6 years ago. And then I couldn't do anything; my unit was always with bubbles in the airline and draining back into the container. I have the Check Valves installed at the end of each...

Hey Roger,
I bought a MAR-3181 in December and it initially ran fine, but I find that anytime it gets turned off it doesn't start up again correctly - the pump is on and making a slight noise but it's not pumping water into the reactor. the head height on the tube is just a few inches as the...

1.RoDi and waste container volumes are not calibrated correctly.
2.Result Values are not accurate...
I have a #120Mixed Reef
It's like someone took a bite out of it. Ever since Hurricane Irma, it has not been fully extended. What are your thoughts? If it's dying should I cut it off the rock?
The crazy part, all of my #SPS & #LPS corals are doing better than ever!
