    Chaeto musings

    My sump chaeto chamber is 12” deep and is lit by a H80 (129$) And initially i had chaeto sitting on the bottom where it was struggling, blanding and disintegrating. Referencing the BRS refuge lighting video in which it was suggested that more power (PUR) for photosynthesis yielded more chaeto...

    GHL Doser / Smart Phone App Help

    So the day I dreaded has arrived......I started messing with my GHL 2.1. I'm trying to set up the ATO function. But the GHL float valve doesn't trigger the pump head. I've established connection to the doser and can get into the pump head settings. I've followed the instructions for the ATO...

    Reefatosis Tank Journal

    Welcome....... So the concept, at least for now, is a very minimalist SPS-dominate box of relaxation. It will be position directly adjacent to my favorite part of the couch......the part that reclines. I am a 'keep it simple type', especially with my tanked ecosystems, but with this build I...

    I am at the point of my SPS cube build when I need to consider rock-scaping. And I'm stuck deciding what is best. My end goal would be predominantly SPS with "under-planting" with some lower-PAR corals. But I do enjoy the seeing the sponges, random inverts and other cryptic type things. I...

    Finally did it; My intro

    I'm a life long fish keeping hobbyist. And I was even dumb enough to pursue aquaculture as a career. My brother and I had saltwater tanks of various forms since the the 90's; think undergravel filters, condy anemones, bioballs, t12 bulbs, panther groupers all in a 110g show tank! And I can't...
