I have used Prazi Pro and found that it does indeed work but you have to dose 3 times as much as it instructs to kill any pests. It will kill your fish if you do not do a water change and if you use a stronger dose than directed. I found out that regular dosing does not kill pests on coral...

I should also include that I purchased this reactor from a buddy of mines who totally overhauled the reactor with new parts but purchased it from someone online and thus no instructions came with the unit. And my buddy didn't have much luck with it either.

Hi, I recently purchased a Korallin Calcium Reactor for my 40 gallon frag tank and am having a little bit of trouble setting it up. The model is a C-1502. I am running an Ehiem pump that mixes the sump water with the media and I am using an aqua lifter pump to bring the water from the sump...

Thank you!!!! I will try all your suggestions. I am hoping for not another sleepless night!

I have a 46 gallon bow with an overflow (but not bulit in). The overflow falls into a 10 gallon sump. The return pump currently is a quiet one 1200. I have also tried the Maxi-Jet 1200 and the Ehiem 1250 as a return pump and I can't stand the loud hum that all the pumps give off. My tank is...

Thank you both for all your help. I will do all the suggestions and see how it looks tomorrow morning. I appreciate the fast responses!

By the way I like your 180 build. Just looked at the link now. I am currently building a 40 frag and just about have all the pieces except for the return pump and auto top-off but it was a bigger project than I thought. I aquired my calc reactor two days ago and had to sit down for a moment...

I test quite frequently. In fact I just tested last night. Alk at 9, Calc at 420, and PH at 8.3 I just did a water change this morning cause I saw the RTNing late last night. The tank has undergoed no light for two weeks but that was over three weeks ago. Then I changed the filtration...

All of the softies are doing well. The color is not so bright on another acro I have next to it and is RTNing as well. The purple monster is still alive but the color is not all that bright either and it's on the other side of the tank. I heard adding magnesium will stop the RTNing do you...

Suggestions on saving this Garf Bonsai anyone? Attached files

Hi Chris. I definitely would love to borrow as my ballast is not schedule to come in til next Thursday the 29th! Send me a message on how to get to your house and what is the best day I could come - hopefully this weekend. steph

Thank you for all the information. It's going on 3 days now and I was getting worried about all the SPS. Will do on the reduction of the photoperiod when I get back up and running.

I ordered the new ballast today so it should come by Wedensday or Thursday - I hope!

On Saturday we had a rainstorm in SF Bay area and my ballast got fried. I am looking to borrow a ballast until the one on order comes in. I am running an icecap light fixture with a 250MH 20k double ended bulb. This is a single pendant hanging fixture. If anyone near SF to San Mateo can help...
