problems

So I've been feeling quite frustrated with reefing lately because I feel like I've been doing everything right, I did loads of research and every decision I make with my reef tank is for a specific purpose. Despite this I have just about every issue you can think of in my tank, and no end in...

Hi all I’ve recently noticed small white particles in my tank floating around don’t think it’s air bubbles but could be wrong any suggestions on what it could be and how to fix cheers

Any advice as I feel like I’m fighting a loosing battle…. As you can see from the pictures I have a pretty bad GHA problem. It has been like this for a few months now (maybe longer) I’m picking out clumps weekly but it just keeps growing back, most of it is to small to grab with my fingers and...

So i have an aquarium that's been running for almost 4 years now and since a few months in we noticed there was a silicate issue, We used to get our RO from someone who maintained the tank but we bought a brand new RO machine that runs off a softner. We tested this with an ICP and came back to...

A year ago, a fire broke out in my room due to a faulty eheim 300 watt heater (never buying again) combined with a 70 year old electical system that is older than my grandma and as a result, i was grounded, but most regrettably i was forced to give away my 55 gallon saltwater tank. My lightning...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to see how many have ran vectra l2 pumps externally and if you had issues with leaking. Current situation is my first l2 started making a noise so I contacted ecotech and they asked me to pull the pump apart and clean it. I did as was asked but then spent 4 hours...

I bought a Red Sea ATO upgrade kit about 10 days ago. Installed in my Reefer 350, got erratic behavior - inconsistent fills between 0.05 gallons per fill (which would be the expected top off volume per fill given 25x25 return chamber and 3 mm between sensors), up to 0.8 gallons per fill with...

Hello again! Sorry for such a basic and dumb question.. I'm just at a complete loss. I swear I thought I've done everything right, yet I just don't know why my Ammonia won't drop to 0. Here are my parameters... I've been having issues keeping Alk and Magnesium lower as well. It must be the salt...

There are several threads accumulating on the forums of people having issues w/new marine magnesium checker HI783. There are also some similar reports on the AskBRS facebook page--results several hundred points higher. I wanted to start a thread here in Hanna Instruments sub-forum to give Hanna...

I need some help I set my aqua knight v2 light based off the instructions and videos I watched (watched the setup guide from fragbox) and it was working fine for a few days I went to try and change the settings but it’s not saving them anymore just resorting back to the previous and it’s also...

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...

Im fairly new to saltwater and corals, i believe this is a toadstool leather but can someone tell me what this is growing from it?

I am getting frustrated and thought I'd ask the forum if I am alone since @Tim at EcoTech says there are "no bugs" in their current firmware or software. First of all, anyone in the business of writing code would never honestly make a statement like that. There are ALWAYS bugs! . Plus, I...

So this is my second post apex related but so far nothing but issues with this whole thing, I have three different things plugged into my power bar but the power log does not show anything all it shows is the volts from the power bar, it has never shown anything ever and I have had it for almost...

Hi All - I just recieved a brand new Nyos 120 for the build i'm putting together. I've been trying to assemble this and have run into a number of issues. I'll be calling EcoTech support tomorrow but figured i'd post to see if anyone had similar issues: Issue #1 The pad / screw holes where...

most of my chalice, LPS, montipora, and euphelia corals have been either closed, or loosing color. I’ve tested and everything seems normal. Soft corals and zoas look fine. Any ideas?

Hello Everyone, I thought I would come here to open up a discussion on accessories you cannot readily purchase, that leave you thinking, "If only I had a 3D printer". I have been involved with 3D printing for some time now and recently took it towards creating products for reefing. I am always...

Would like to hear your thoughts on the effects of internal pump vibration on corals. Recently plumbed an external DIY filter using a power head and it caused corals to Immediately close. (Already went through the steps to find the issue) after much experimentation with flow rates, different...

Came home from my first day back at work after a blissful week long vacation leading up to Christmas, only to find that my HOB skimmer has somehow malfunctioned today. During the process it created a siphon and poured about 5 gallons of saltwater onto my living room floor, which then proceeded...
