waterchange

Hello everyone, I would like to get my water change automated using a versa dosing pump. My tank is currently just a 20g but I can always move it to my bigger system once I upgrade. I was thinking maybe a 2% daily waterchange over a 2hr period. Any tips or advice is welcome.

Bought this to setup auto water changes and decided to not use it anymore. It was pretty great to set it and forget it. The X2SR is a reliable choice, featuring high-quality PharMed tubing, a battery backup to restore function in the event of power loss, and multiple float sensors to trigger...

The topmost rock in my tank comes up to about the 3/4 mark, and if I do a large W/C, some coral will be exposed to air. As of tight now, just a flow-happy torch and a couple Green Slimer frags an LFS owner gave me to try out. I've seen exposed reefs before out in the wild, but I don't know much...

Hi all, was wondering if anyone could share any tips on how they remove phosphates from their evo’s? I’m currently sitting at 0.21ppm! I’m running a table spoon of rowaphos in chamber 1 and doing 10% weekly water changes with ro/di water from my lfs which tested 0.02ppm for phosphate...

Been fighting low phosphates and high nitrates finally got my nitrates from around 100 parts per million to around 25. Keeping my phosphates up by dosing neophos everyday. These things used to disappear when the nitrates were out of control during the night but then would return during the day...

What do you guys think of this idea to beat Dinos? I have 2 tanks, both waterbox frags. My 105.4 is going on one and a half years old doing extremely well and mature. My newer Waterbox Frag 165.6 is about 5 months old and now it’s getting a Dino outbreak and my nutrients bottomed out. Can I do a...

Hi all, This post is me being selfish and wanting some advice on how to get better practices on my husbandry and overall more knowledge on this wonderful hobby we all love. I’ll be going over my lighting, parameters, equipment, water change process, and livestock I have in my 20g long nano...

I usually sit a 25W heater, an air pump with air-stone and a 1000Lph pump in a 5 gallon bucket, I put in around 700g of salt with 18Liters + or - and usually come back around the same time the next day to do a water change. Would there be anything wrong with using an external heater to heat the...

Hi All, I have a 96L (25g) Nano AIO Tank with Hailea Chiller HS28A. I keep my tank temperature at 25C (77F). I do bi-weekly 30L (8g) water change mostly for nutrient export. I usually mix salt on Friday Night & change water on Saturday Nights. The new saltwater temperature is around 31C (88F)...

R2R Community- How do you establish baseline parameters for your reef to really see how much calc/alk/mag your corals are using? I test once a week, but it seems as though numbers can jump around a little. Ive also never tested right after a WC to see what the numbers are once elements have...

So Im in the middle of cycling my tank with fish in it. Checking the water parameters it seems like the nitrites and ammonia are very high, which obviously it’s supposed to happen, but it seems like it’s really not going down. Is it possible to do a 50% to 75% water change in the middle of...
