Is this diatoms? I did have some small patches of red cyano so I ran two cycles of chemiclean and this stuff is still around, so it cant be cyano. Any ideas?

where do i get it, how do i dose it and is it reef safe?

Hi Bar, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any experience with de-worming fish with medications such as Piperazine or others on the market (would love to hear what you used and how and for how long). I believe that this medication is not coral/invert safe but id love a confirmation...

Aquascaping is now done (at least for now)!. Trying to plan ahead for SPS growth :P We'll see how things go, maybe we may make some of the structures taller.

Yea, but I re-tested my freshly mixed salt water and the alk is fine there. I also now recall that in the past when Ive started tanks with lots of brand new media, i did experience some faster depletion of alk due to it possibly falling out of solution due to substrate

So, to close out this saga, the issue was in the pH probe. New Neptune lab grade pH probe reads tank at 8.3 pH after calibration.

Good idea but the tank has been empty except for the two clowns rescently.

My test kit is brand new (Red Sea) and i just re-testsed everything (my new tank, my old tank and the fresh mixed water) and it seems like the pH in the new mix is close to 8.4/8,5 in looking at the salt label (aquavitro batch tests all) the current batch i'm using is supposed to read out at...

Just tested with Red Sea ph again and it's reading 8. Does anyone know if having the ph probe dry for some time can cause it to fail?

Hi everyone. I have a but if a pH conundrum that I hope I could get some input on here. My tank has been cycling for a while and it's for through the whole Amonia cycle...etc. a few days ago I put the first fish in. Per the Red Sea kit the ph was around 8.2. Two days later the pH is reading...

I am just going to give a word of caution - I reticently bought a Curve 9 and i was really disappointing in the build quality and the noise was incredibly loud. Also the way they had the pump mounted inside the skimmer, the volute was not long enough to fit snugly on the pump through the...

So, at last first livestock went into the tank last night! The thing has been cycling for probably close to two months now with ammonia and some frozen food here and there. Ammonia reads zero and nitrates are just slightly elevated. Today I added chatomopha lit by a magenta hydroponics led.

The Hydrofill ATO by innovative marine that came from my wife's aquarium seems to have failed. constantly thinks that water level is low, despite an overnight soak in vinegar - funny thing about that soak, the sensors worked fine in the higher ionic concentration of the vinegar. Looks like...

Just 3 one planned for BRS GAC reactor, and two for future reactors (GFO and Biopellets based on successs ive had in the past).

So, i managed to get much of the electrical done this weekend. However with the cabinet in its place, i realize now that I am in a bit of a pickle. I now have to figure out how i will be squeezing in a ladder to get to the canopy control cables to raise and lower it. Hopefully ill only need to...

Hi, I was hoping someone here could help me track down some lengths of that 3pin keyed waterproof connector cable that a lot of DC pumps use as the interface between the pump and their controller (like the jebao pumps). im hoping to find cable that has one side male and one side female so i...

Sneak peak of utility cabinet. IKEA hack.

Maybe in the future, that's definitly not a priority. With the canopy in at its normal level, the two carrabiners on the right are removed so it's much cleaner. The mounts themselves on the ceiling are actually for swings. They have an integrated grooved wheel with bearings so it reduces the...
