    Lanthanum chloride?

    GFO costs more in the long run especially for those with larger tanks. Large public reef aquariums has been using it for years with no problems. They use sand filters to filter out the precipitate.Since we dont have sand filters some people uses 10 micron filter socks and drip Lanthanum mixed...

    How long have you been in?

    1981. Tap water, underground filter in 10 gallon tank. No such thing as live rocks back then. Used lava rocks. Kept bleach white coral skeleton as decorations. Kept a few damsels and clownfish. NO INTERNET so relied on FAMA magazines to learn Early 1990s restarted hobby. Wet/Dry was the thing...

    Question about TDS???

    You check TDS in 3 places. Tap Water, RO and RO/DI If tap water is 400 TDS then RO should measure at 20 TDS if membrane has a 95% rejection rate. Then measure RO/DI which should be 0 or 1. If the TDS after RO is too high then you are exhaust your DI to quick. DI is your biggest cost.

    Need advice....bought new fish...dead upon arrival at home

    That sucks. Not sure why he asked if you are going straight home. Did he use oxygen? When I buy fish from my LFS in the morning I dont get home till night and fish are fine providing they kept warm or cool enough. Did the LFS squirt anything in the bag like Stress coat, Amquel, etc? I've seen...

    Any bad experience with Super Reef Octopus XP3000E skimmer?

    I have the XP5000 External. Had two minor issues with the pump. First after 6 months the magnetic part of the impeller cracked. Manufacturer (Coralvue) sent me a new one. A year later the impeller would get stuck sometimes and wont spin despite cleaning it out. Sent the entire pump to Coralvue...

    Purple Anemone and Eagle Eye Frags

    Doesnt look like a tube anemone without seeing its base. If its insider of a tube like a feather duster then its a tube anemone. From the picture it looks like a purple condylactis anemone. Seen more and more lately at the LFS. Better looking than those plain condylactis anemone

    Ok, time to get the tank back in shape! My phosphate levels are are WOWZERS!

    With your P04 being so high I think a large water change would be cheaper than GFO. Your GFO would probably exhaust itself in a few hours with PO4 being so high.

    Who uses rodi wastewater to fill pool?

    The TDS between the waste water and tap water is very close since RO/DI is not very efficient in water waste. I use it in my pond with kois and never had any problems.

    Scrk meeting frag tank thief

    Wow someone else another coral? Two thiefs now or the same one? I doubt someone would take that frag by mistake because on another forum that frag was an anemone and the suspect grabbed the bag and took off quick

    Power Outage

    Your tank is large so I doubt the tank temp will rise alot during the 4 hours. Lghts, main pumps will heat the water but not with Vorteh on backup battery. It will be cheaper if you just get a 12v car battery inverter and plug that to your car and power your Vortech longer than 4 hours

    RO/DI waste

    You could drink it but why would you. I use RO water for my family (before the DI) The TDS of waste water is not much higher than your tap water. Some cities tap water is probably much higher than your waste water.

    Question about you large tank

    I can reach the bottom using a tall stool to reach to the bottom of a 30" tall tank. There is no canopy so that may be the deciding factor for alot of people. If I had to reach over a canopy on a 30" tall tank then forget it. Running LEDs so no need for a canopy. Are you people talking reaching...
