    SOS... Someone help me bring my tank back to "normal"

    Come to find out, I have been under mixing my 5 gallons of 0 TDS water with only 2.5 cups of red sea coral pro. All my parameters were extremely low. Alk 6.8, calcium 380, mag 1100, phos 0.07, nitrates 0. Salinity has been 1.023. Tomorrow I will be mixing 3 cups to 5 gallons of water.

    Any one using apex to monitor salinity?

    Ok I got mine up and running without the secondary temp probe. Is it normal for salinity to go up and down? It seems to sway a lot during the day. From 26.8 (Really low Salinity) to 28.9/29.2 (still low salinity). When I check my salinity with my refractometer, it checks at 1.023. Still...

    SOS... Someone help me bring my tank back to "normal"

    I know I am jumping the gun and I know it takes a process of time. I am just sick and tired of seeing this Green Hair Algae in my 80 Gallon display tank. I will be taking tests of my tank here shortly. The thing that bothers me the most is that my toadstool leathers polyps are not extending...

    Biopellet reactor (TLF conversion)

    So I converted my TLF GFO reactor to a biopellet reactor. I purchased a Eheim Compact+ 2000 Pump (528 gph). Great tumble on pellets only that I just put in the pellets without washing them. Do you have to wash/rinse the Dr. Tims NP active pearls? Some of the pearls clumped and went to the...

    cyano help

    John, look at reefcleaners.org I ordered a huge order and should be receiving it tomorrow. For 10/crab, not worth it. I wish I would have known more people needed a cuc. We could have done a group order and got it for free shipping.

    cyano help

    I wouldn't think so. It would just be easier to maintain your tank rather than less water changes. I have a rodi system with a TDS meter on it and I do weekly water changes. Granted I'm trying to bring my tank back to what it was before I went to NY for 3 months.

    Any one using apex to monitor salinity?

    Well my customer just purchased this for me. I was wondering about the secondary temp probe... looks like I have to buy one now. They arent too expensive are they? I got the lab probe for conductivity, and the PM2 module. Do you place the probe in the sump? or in the display tank?

    Neptune Systems Apex AquaController PM2 Conductivity

    I have the neptune apex controller. My customer purchased this for me and I was wondering if the temp probe goes on this now or do I need an additional temp probe for this module all in itself? Anyone else have this module and know anything about it?

    Reef tanks and water conservation

    I purchased the 75GPD from BRS and later purchased the upgrade to 150 GPD, I waste less water now than I did in the past. Prior to getting the upgrade, my water would continue to waste water for an hour after I was done making RODI. Now it stays on for only 15 min.
