This entire kit would retail for over $500...
Hey everyone so I’ve been fighting to get my parameters stable since the tank is relatively new. I tested my parameters 3 weeks ago for the first time after losing 2 torches and saw I had extremely high phosphorus 3.9 ppm trying to feed all my tangs so they’re happy and stop fighting. Since then...
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a balling method to improve the stability of my aquarium's parameters, but the recommendations suggest balancing the parameters before starting with balling through water changes or other products.
I'd like to know what products or methods I could use to...
Hello all!
Noob here.
First of all, some backgound. I was a very stupid noob and bought a very large bag of AquaForest Reef Mineral Salt. Problem is: I made my initial water with it not realizing it was actually something supposed to be a part of your balling, from what I can understand.
This...
Question is in bold and underlined, the rest is explanation.
I just put in a 2 400gpd RO membrane system in my basement mainly to use for my tank top off and water changes but I also piped in three refrigerators and a few drink fillers throughout my house all ran off of a 30 gallon RO pressure...

I have 3 test kits available for sale (calc, mag, alk). I bought them hoping I could use them, but can't since I'm colorblind and can't see the transitions well. They have either never been used or used once or twice. I live in the Woodinville area and would either prefer pick up or Woodinville...
Hey,
I was looking into a cheap alternative to the more common test kits for calcium and magnesium, and I stumbled across this test kit from Amazon.
(The link I posted seems to be missing, apologies)
10/11 reviews are positive, the test kit is a titration that's supposedly accurate to...
Hi reefers,
I have a preowned REEFER XL425, I started it from very beginning 2 months ago. A week ago it got through cycling so I bought a pair of Nemos, 5 mixed frags, 3 shrimps a 4 snails. Everyone look great. Except the fact, that the chemistry is weird and now the massive green outbreak...
I need help mixing this brightwell magnesium P powder solution.
How many grams do I need to make a litter solution?
Sorry I’m terrible with math and I’ll appreciate the help!
Side note : no matter how many solutions I add my magnesium still stays around 1300?
Instructions and...
Has anyone used these reagents from www.abcreagents.com for their trident?
Supposedly they work just like the Neptune reagents but obviously they are much cheaper.
If people have any experience with these, please comment. If they work well, this will definitely be a game changer!
Hello, I purchased Maxima Clam about 3 weeks ago, and noticed that it's mantle has become flaky and cracked, like asphalt that was heavily salted in the winter (It's more clear when you zoom in on the picture).
It's receiving about 150 PAR and has low to moderate flow. Alkalinity is at 8.2...
Hey all, it's been a few years since I kept a saltwater tank - my expertise is definitely in freshwater and turtles. In the past I had 2 thriving reef tanks with fish & LPS but once my ex and I broke up I kept the freshwater and he took the salt tanks (he was definitely the salt expert!)
So...
Hi guys!
I've struggling with high levels of magnesium in my tank, I check parameters every week, and for the past 3 weeks, magnesium has been going up. Also my nitrates are kind of high, but those are going gradually down, so I'm not too worried about it.
So I would really really appreciate...
I have a bundle of Hanna Checkers for sale. It includes the Alkalinity (DkH version), Phosphate ULR, Nitrate High Range, Salinity/Temp Pen Tester, Magnesium (new version), and an Auto Aqua Spin Stir. This would all cost $350+ retail. I am asking $200 SHIPPED.
There is a brand new box of...
Hi!
All of my Banded Trochus Snail seem to be suffering from paralysis. They have all fallen off the glass to the floor. Their foot shows that they are alive, but they seem to lack the enegy to attach back to glass and just lie there slowly diying/starving.
I have pulled them all out of the...
Hey everyone, I’m trying to wrap my head around why has my Alk risen and whats depleting calcium and magnesium. And what’s the solution.
I recently added a hammer garden (9 heads) and a yumma mushroom and soon after I noticed my Alk jumped to 10 and resulting in depletion of my calcium and...
Hello All, I have a brand new unopened Hanna Magnesium Test Kit. I ordered about a week ago from BRS. I accidentally ordered two of the same kit. BRS has them listed for $64. I'll ship to your door for $50 or possible trade for other reef related items. Thanks!

Hello Reefers,
I have a 20g long tank and I'm loving it, my tank has been up and running since February of 2021. I've lost about three corals, a sand sifting star, three fish, and two emerald crabs since the start of my tank. I'm afraid I'm going to lose more of my corals, because of gha and...
