Do you still get some phosphate leaching, with a muriatic wash?

Someone pick this up! I used to have a huge colony of this growing on the bottom of my tank. One of the most beautiful pieces. It's hard to get this kind of neon orange

ahhh got it!! neat idea

I understand that, but how are you mounting the HIGH? You said it's at the level at the filter sock. How is it mounted at that level?

oh good to know the LOW fits in the float arm area. How are you mounting the HIGH?

do you have any pics of your setup? I also noticed that the included res was way too small. The included float switch looks a little cleaner than what I have, and doesn't look like it would cause the stray current issues that I have with mines.

agreed with mike!

I personally 2dKH would be too much of a swing, but others can chime in on their experiences!

I don't trust the calculator, but I think you may need to add what you're current dosing plus that amount.

ouch 5.8?! FYI, when my ALK dips, my montis are the first to bleach.

i used Dr. tim's as well when i started my 60 gallon. it worked as advertised but i don't have anything to compare it to.

I stopped by Neptune's the other day and saw their Red Sea Reefer tanks. I think it was ~$1500 for a full setup including stand and sump. Anyone have one? Opinions? Looking to upgrade when my unborn child moves out. har har...

i don't own an apex, but one thing i wish i was told when i bought my reef angel, was to get the full version instead of the lower version.

Usually, during my lugols dip, I scrub the frags to get rid of nuisance algae. I really pinpoint some spots if the algae is tough like turf algae, with tweezers. I'm too afraid to use hydrogen peroxide. I haven't had issues with most nuisance algae, so i think i've been pretty lucky.

Thanks yip! For some reason, coralline doesnt grow there. I've seen it start to grow, but it disappears quickly. I've had other tanks where it was impossible to prevent it. Coralline in my tank only grows where the light doesn't touch--like the undersides of my rock. Go figure.. Sent from my...

i've heard most of what you guys mentioned. thanks for all of your input! I'll be coming to a few of you if I decide to jump this way. I did a phosphate check today, and it's at 0. Getting to that 0 isn't as easy for me as it's probably for @wpeterson .. i've been running into issues that...

thanks dude, especially coming from you! =D

thanks dude!!

Thanks Geneva.. I'm fortunate I'm at the "don't touch what isn't broken" part now.

The latest TOTM on Reefcentral mentions using Foz Down, which is lanthanum chloride.. he's using this in place of media like GFO to reduce phosphates. I would love to use something like this instead of constantly changing out and tumbling my GFO... which has always been a pain in the ass to...
