I also had problems with my MP10 and I called EcoTech and they told me that there is probably a problem with the bearings. Days later the dry side completely shut down, it was constantly stalling. I called them and they immediately sent me a new one in the mail and I have not had any problems...

Thanks, the ballast that im using are also an aqua medic product.

I need to get some new HQI 250w 20k bulbs but i am not pleased with the brand i currently have, aqua line (Aqua Medic). They are too blue, they are washing out so many colors. I might as well have painted the bulb blue to get the same effect I'm getting. Does anyone have any suggestion on what...

Thanks for the information guys... I am really tying to set things up with a non-profit group for a side project I'm working on.

Thanks, I just was curious because i think by buddy is going to try out one of their systems and I didn't feel completely right with what they are doing, but i just wanted to check with other people because I had no idea. I just like getting in the habit of finding out and not assuming judgements.

I have a friend who sent me this link to this company called Jellyfish art, and I was astonished what they were selling. It reminded me of sea people kits they sell to kids, yet they are jellyfish. None of these tanks have anykind of filtration system, from my understanding, they are just...

Does anyone know about some non-profit organizations that help with estuary rehabilitation in Northern California?

Right now Im using Aqualine 20k HQI bulbs. I have been running them for 9-10hrs a day since June. http://www.aqua-medic.de/index.php?r=catalog/product&cid=45&id=208 My parameters are as followed: CA: 550 (slowly lowering this by using IO) Mg: 1400 ppm PO4: 0 DkH: 9 Nitrate: 0...

Currently I have two 250w Metal Halides with 20k bulbs. I really like the spectrum I am getting with the bulbs but it defiantly drowns out many of the different colors the corals naturally have. I was going to add some T5s but what K should i get to really accent the other colors in my corals?

I noticed on one of my acropora a little tiny yellow dot moving around on the coral and I am pretty sure this is red bug, it is smaller than a grain of fine sand. I understand that we are not able to discus the "real treatment" of red bugs over this sight so If you could either PM me or email me...

Here is an update with my levels, I haven't added to much, just a couple of acropora's. Elos Test Kits: Ca: 550ppm Mg: 1350ppm PO3: 0 ppm API Test Kit: dKH: 8 NO3: 0 I am going to go and replace the two API kits with something more accurate, but I am completely puzzled...

"Effects on Alkalinity Directions for use of the PhosBan Reactor state that alkalinity will drop when 5x the recommended amount of PhosBan is used. Under the conditions of this experiment, alkalinity dropped by about 19% when PhosBan was applied at about twice the recommended amount. At...

I also decided to buy a Three Little Fishes Phosban and it works great!!! No phosphates but it does affect the alkalinity. Attached files
