Hey all. I am hoping that somebody has some old Red Sea Test Kit vials and Titrator/Syringe's laying around. Maybe you have spares, an old expired kit you don't use, or switched to another brand of Test Kits.
I am hoping you have what I want and you don't need it any longer.
I do NOT...
I'm getting broke having to buy the ready-made liquid of Red Sea B, in saying that my intention is to stay with this brand and turning my head onto its powder version.
For those that have utilize Red Sea B in powder version, can you tell me if it's hard to completely mix the powder and making...
I have a 30 gallon tank with only dry rock and live sand. I am using Red Sea's reef mature pro kit to cycle my tank. I'm on day 14 of the cycle and am just seeing the first signs of change. I'm starting to see brownish spots starting to form on only my dry rock.
It may be hard to see in the...
I am currently running a Red Sea Max Nano but have a reef savvy 225 on the way! So this has to hold me over until it arrives. For now its basically a frag tank for when the 225 is set up. Ill keep you guys posted with pics and videos as it progresses. Here is a video of what I got so far. Any...
I have finally made up my mind to start the process of upgrading my reef tank from cheap $55 petco non drilled tank because of the money pit that it has been with minimal success because of limitations of this tank. ive added all kinds of extra equipment to make up the differnce but this setup...
I just put in all my water for my new tank. Do I run my powerhead even when the sand isn't settled? Also, has anyone used Red Sea mature pro kit? I am using it to cycle my tank. I have a skimmer to use during the cycle but do I use my canister filter too? Or would that be filtering too much of...
I'm starting a brand new all dry rock, live sand aquarium with the help of Red Sea's reef mature kit. I'd just like to know when my LED's should be on during the cycle. I've heard mixed opinions on this topic. Everyone saying keep them off seems to be to reduce algae though.
What's up guys? I just started the saltwater hobby and would love some knowledgeable and experienced enthusiasts advice on exactly what to do with my initial start up cycle and if you think I'm ok with the supplies I've got. I've done plenty of research the past few weeks on everything from the...
Hi Everyone,
I've been having issues with algae for a while now and can't seem to crack the code. I am currently "carbon dosing" using Red Sea's NOPOX and am running GFO/Carbon. I feed frozen mysis and clams once per day (rinsing out the food prior to it entering my tank) and I change 15% of...
We are moving and sold our Red Sea Reefer 450. The person that bought the tank didn't want to lid we got for it so we are selling it by itself.
The lid was built by ArtFully Acrylic for the Red Sea Reefer 450. In the picture, the back is to the right. We put a feed door in the back. We had them...
I had another listing but we ended up selling a lot of equipment off and I'm not able to edit the original post so here is a new one.
Red Sea 450 with an Artfully Acrylic lid and 12 filter socks.
$1400 for everything or $1300 for the tank without the lid.
We live South of Orlando. Local...
We are moving and need to part out our Red Sea Reefer 450 or sell together. First we need to sell our coral and fish then we are going to part out the equipment. This posting is constantly going to be updated to report what is still available. If you see it listed it's still up for grabs. We...
So I've posted a couple times on this site so far and have received huge amounts of quality help. In my research on this site, I've found that there are A LOT of things that I can learn on here. I've determined though, that I'm getting a little overwhelmed with so much information; which I'm...
Hi,
I have used lots of the red sea products in the past and been really happy with the results. When I recently set up my reefer 525xl in September I decided to use ATM hot salt but all other product shave been red sea and I am now transitioning to full red sea programme.
The products I am...
I typically don't ask for advice in anything I do. I like to learn on my own merit, whether it be learning from mistakes or getting lucky the first time. With that being said, I have never owned halides before. I currently have a Giesemann Aurora, which is a T5/LED hybrid. The fixture is...
I have been using API's kit which was pretty easy to read (pretty steady at 8.5-9), but wanted to try out Red Sea. I'm wondering if anyone has any guidance on using this test, i'm trying to figure out when the correct color change happens. Another question is, do the color ranges in the...
All upgrades have arrived and will be starting the move in two days!!
This Red Sea max has been my tinker toy for almost 8 years and now taking the dive haha into the Red Sea reefer 350!!!
Love the soft corals!! But really want to try some LPS any thoughts for my first?
And any tips on...
Ironically, I'm sitting at my desk looking at a RedSea 450 I set up a couple of months ago at my office (not the picture before you) and did not manage to get enough good pictures to really consider a build thread. I plan to do better with the 525 XL +25 +25 and am looking forward to hearing...
Howdy folks!
This will be a build thread on my downgrade. Why the downgrade?
Seeing this tank in person at the LFS a while ago, I fell in love with it and the whole Red Sea Reefer series. What amazing and clean looking setups. As I picked this one up, it was smaller than I recalled. It had me...
Current State of the Tank @ almost 1.5 years.
First - Thanks!
I would like to say I am super appreciative to all of you in this community that have helped me get this far, I wouldn't be here without you! Part of my goal in 2017 and beyond is to try to give back a little bit where I can too now...
Thinking about getting some Red Sea NO3-PO4-X to use in my tank. I currently have a Chemi-Pure Blue bag in my media basket. If I use both of these products will they cancel each other by working against each other. Just curious. thanks for any help!
Hey all, doing my Alk test using a Red Sea test kit. Not sure if I'm doing it correctly. I am using the Red Sea mature pro kit to cycle my tank.
When I add the first drop it doesn't get to the start color shown on the card. At drop 9 it gives me the color on the pic attached. If I read...
I'll keep the intro as quick as possible. This is my 3rd tank in the last year so I've named it "Devoted Reefer 250". I started off with a 27 Gallon Cube ( https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/27-gallon-cube.207744/ ) then moved this tank into the BADFISH 20 Gallon AIO (...
