I use an air pump. I have the airline go through a PVC pipe to the bottom of the container so it doesn't coil up. It moves a very good amount of water, uses little electricity, and adds no heat. It takes me about 4 hours for 25g of water to dissolve the salt. I just leave the pump running until...

I am referring to this. This will fail. All four of them in time. Not sure which first but probably this one. If you added aluminum angle to each of these joints it could help. You'll want to get as big of a piece as you can and make sure it is screwed in close to the top, close to the...

I am sorry but as is that stand will not hold. It is not safe to screw into the end grain of a board for this application. I think it would be wise to reinforce those joints with aluminum angle, or something of the type. I would also be concerned with the lack of center brace. Did you wrap...

I would highly recommend you not use Clear View Lids. 0 outta 10 stars.

That is more reasonable. Are you monitoring your pH?

Did you do the test 3 times Friday with two kits, and three times Sunday with two kits? Are you refrigerating your reagent? Have you checked the batch date of your reagent? How long has it been open? Is the outside of your glass sample holder clean? Has your pH swung widely? It is very...

Mine looks like a desaturated tyree green leather under the blues. Very little color. Great under whites

Does the mummy eye have the purple on the nodes or is it green/yellow?

That can be dangerous if he does not run a skimmer, or has a small tank. We really need more info to help.

There are a few things you can do. None of them matter until you fix your nutrient issue. Until then the cyano will just be replaced with something else if you eradicate it. It is good to get things when they are small. You can not water change your way out of cyano. It can double itself every...

I highly recommend something like this for you. You will be able to control the amount of bubbles much better. The pods need different than the phyto. So with this you can still use one pump for all...

I am not a fan of the MP40 noise. I clean mine often, even bought a second wetside so I could do it weekly with ease. They are just loud. The flow pattern is great, I love the batter back up options, the things are just to loud. Everything else is great. I currently have an MP40 on my...
