thanks.. will low flow take care of ich/parasites as well as dinoes/bacteria/algae? intuitively feels like that should be the case, but want to confirm

Black Friday is a blessing as a new reefer haha.. I got AquaUV, RODI, pump, meds, food thus far.. looking to order cleanup crew (one of the package deals somewhere) where do people buy LRS food from? Hvnt seen any deals on them and shipping is crazy.. I got my AquaUV when the REDSEASALT offer...

Thanks, I was planning to put it after the socks.. current layout is socks--> empty chamber--> Skimmer--> Return Pump.. Earlier was planning to use empty chamber for reefmat, now planning to use it for UV instead

Interesting.. so minimum flow AquaUV suggests for SaltWater tanks is 1,066 GPH for a 57W system.. doesn't this slow rate kill any of the beneficial stuff? I understand most of the beneficial bacteria is on the rocks and sand and not free flowing in the water, but just wondering why there is such...

Planning to buy 57W aqua UV this thanksgiving.. Can anyone with the same UV unit share what pump do they use and what’s the recommended flow for ich management? I read AquaUV flow guide, but not sure if 1200 what they claim to kill Protozoa is what I should use in a reef tank, since they say it...

I would love to take 1-2 of these.. I have 1-2 spare rock in my sump I can give back to you.. where are you located?

yes I did.. with NEM 3, It doesnt make a lot of sense to not get one, but anyways my use-case primarily was to get backup in such times!

I got solar installed last month when I got the tank coz I knew this day would come haha.. my wife thinks it is a home improvement project ;) It’s not operational yet, waiting on PGE to do the inspection and give PTO (permission to operate), but November December is usually the worst time with...

PGE gods were good today! Power back already! But a good dry run of “what all can go wrong”

I have a 210g and 15g hospital tank.. there is a power outage with no definite time frame on when it will get resolved.. I have a small bubbler at home that I used on my DT, not sure if it’s sufficient on a big tank.. anyone has power backups or anything else that I can borrow immediately? I am...

Voted! Good luck!

Thanks, hvnt purchased yet, hoping they go on sale and I could buy a new one instead of a used one.. but if anyone has a used Aqua UV or Pentair UV sterilizer in good shape, they would like to sell, let me know!

Ok I guess I will buy the used 40W aqua UV and get a new bulb to kick off things.. that thing is huge (like 3 ft in length), plumbing maybe a challenge but lets see.. thank you guys!

230g.. haha, RODI turned out to be OK, DI resin was getting spent faster coz that stupid brand doesnt support float valves.. TDS back to 0, but yeah RODI system is still on the upgrade list for X-mas! Getting a used Aqua UV 40W, will probably need. a new bulb/light...

I have decided to practice ich management for my long term sanity sake. As part of this, I would like to run UV on my system, but all UV systems are freaking expensive plus needs pump/plumbing! Wondering if people have success just running UV lights (something like this...

Thanks @PizzaOven .. after talking to you and Will, I am still contemplating if I want to add that in the sump or use another chemical methods to reduce phosphates.. but thanks much for your help

My 1st frag swap couldn't have gone better.. Came with 3 frags, left with 7!! And a few freebies!! Raffle was a cherry on top! It was so good chatting with folks who have been doing this for so many years! Great job all volunteers, couldn't have been possible without y'all! Thank you!

time in the post says Time : TBD, but most likely 12:30 PM (registration starts at 11:30 AM) Just confirming if its still planned to begin at 12:30 as planned?

@popper not sure if this will help lower my phosphates, but if yes, can I please have some tomorrow? My phosphates are super high (0.6)

Yeah +1 to Thomas.. when I said compatibility chart, I actually meant to say the fish description, I loved how they had everything mentioned in the description from max size, to what size tank etc.. I kinda got used to reading it in the format they posted.
