Before I do something I regret….does anyone know if you can spot dose UV to amphidinium in a successful manner? I created the contraption in the pictures with the idea of placing it on the sand bed for a minute or so in each area during the day when Amphidium is out. The orange cup is just to...
Anyone have experience with the IM UV units?
They have a gravity fed and a pump fed for water supply. The pump fed is 1W more and double the price, but I’ve seen a couple people say they wish they had gone with the pump fed version...
Welcome to my CDA tank build!! I picked the tank up from another local reefer that was the original owner in Dec 2022. He had owned it for a little over I year I think. So it's new to me and plus he sold it for a killer deal. Originally I wasn't going to build a bigger tank than what I...
I know that most reefers would recommend ignoring ORP, and to an extent, I do ignore it, unless I see a sudden change. I just turned on my UV sterilizer, running at about 400gph on a dedicated pump, and my ORP dropped from 230mV (I know, it's a bit low already) to 170mV. I thought UV would have...

Hey guys. I'm building a basement sump for new 225 gallon tank. I'm adding a frag tank shortly and need help on how to plumb it into the sump. The frag tank stand is to the right in the picture so it's really close.
1. I was thinking the best way was to either add a T with valve right after the...
Brand New $300 shipped.
I have an extra one and never used it. From my research, TMC UV Sterilizers have one of the highest efficiency and dwell-time for killing parasites and sterilizing your water.

Hey so I just installed a Coralife 3x Twist UV sterilizer with with an aquatop pump rated for 317 gph with max head pressure of 50 inch (AQUATOP NP-305 to be exact). Water flow seems to trickle out so I tried calculating water flow and I’m seeing about 4 gallons per hour which is wayyyyyyyy...
Just curious if anyone runs a uv sterilizer in their quarantine tank? Clearly you turn it off if dosing some meds but if your specimens don't need dosing or you do not dose or my statement was wrong....does anyone run one in theirs? If so which one and why that one?
I have been trying to increase my flow rate to my Pentair SMART 40 UV. According to the documentation, a flow rate of 943 to 1574 is (*suggested/maximum). I originally had everything plumbed with 1" PVC with 1 flow sensor after the UV. I just made some changes to use 1.5" PVC going to the UV...
So, i just got the Aqua UV 57 watt for my 140g total water volume. The main purpose of this is for water clarity and prevent fish diseases. My main return Pump is 1900 and I measured my manifold rated about 1G every 35s so come out about 102 gph, in other hand manufacturer recommended more than...
I’m selling my never used UV steralizer. I had it hooked up long enough to do a water test before I took it down. This is good up to 350 gallon systems. Went a different route. My loss your gain $225
