Yes the alkatronic will notify you if the alkdrops too low as well as adding a dose of alkalinity solution. The alkateonic will test and report and depending on user presets dose alkalinity solution and notify you if the level drops too low. If the level goes above the preset range the...

Kessil Spectral Controller X. This came with a used light that I bought. The previous owner said he never used it, and I don't need it. Like new in box. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Hydros doesn't have a dedicated doser. What they offer is better in my opinion. They have individual dosing pumps that can be powered by the drive ports on numerous control modules like the x4, xd, x10. Or wireless dosing pumps that can be setup through the app. If you only wanna dose 2 part...

I gave up drinking 5 years ago so the quality of the vodka isn't all that important. I actually mix it with vinegar before dosing for a DIY NoPox carbon solution. As far a ppb to ppm just move the decimal a few spaces. 400ppb = .4ppm. I am not sure the exact level of interferance with the...

Wow kirkland vodka you are fancy. I just bought the cheapest thing on the shelf at Fart and Smile(Smart and Final) $4 a bottle. If you do a google search for phosphate checker vs silicates there are a few r2r threads that pop up regaurding the issue. I actually first read about it when I dosed...

how do the silicates show in your ICP test. Silicate will cause high reading on the hanna checker. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Specific gravity shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just keep an eye on salinity and if it drops a little make your salt mix a little stronger or just add more salt water back in when doing the water change and let the excess water evaporate off to bring the salinity back in check. I personally...

IO salt is great for this as it can be stored for a very long time and sits right around 9 alk at 35ppt. When I mix up the water for my 50g tank every week I make an extra 5g bucket for WC in the 20g. I use a 1g pitcher and just scoop some out and add some back. It takes less than 1min. if the...

I am currently using Hydros. I never used Apex and after hearing about their quality control issues I went with Hydros when it came time to start using a controler. I don't like that the Apex system uses only 1 dedicated controller that all other modules are controlled by. If that main unit goes...

Wow finally!!! I can't believe how long this was up for. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Then you should be looking for new. Used glass can really be a crap shoot and +50g of water can be a huge mess. Good luck with your search hit me up if you change your mind in the next month or so before I set this up. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I have a brand new still in box seaclear acrylic 50g with brand new still in box fiji cube external 800gph overflow. The dimensions are 36" x 15" x 20". I was looking at stepping up to an Advanced Acrylic 48" 80g so I could make a deal on this stuff if you are interested. Sent from my SM-G973U...

Check out the favia at night once they get settled in. Thats when their sweepers really get going. once they are really established they will put them out during the day. The acanthestreas will do that at night as well. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

It is my understanding If you are using new aragonite sand and artificial rock/aragonite rock then yes it will leach silicates for a period of time as it cycles. This is why new tanks generally end up getting a bloom of Diatomes because they are fueled by the leaching silicates. How long just...

Hey Jimbo I'm sorry to read of your coral losses thats a bummer and I wish there was a silver bullet fix. This is most likely due to the overall imaturity of the tank and should improve with time. As as far as the Hanna checker is concerned these are some of the things that I have read about in...

I have a goni and an alve that bud off from time to time. I often wonder if I will see them pop up somewhere else. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

This is gonna be killer. I can't wait to see it running. I am inspired I have many dry tanks(3) sitting around right now. If 2.5 years is what it takes, thats just what it takes. Good to see you are still getting it done. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

coming soon...Its just a pile of parts right now[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
