    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    jebao's are great and economical! Where are the returns on the bottom, closer to front, back or center? How will it effect your scape?

    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    My worry spot on a closed loop is the tank to bulkhead interface. To repair or plug that -after the tank is already running- you would have to empty the tank. All the other components are repairable without needing to empty the tank assuming you have gate valves in the right place. The holes...

    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    This is a fun problem to have. The wattage efficiency is a good point. Heat comes with it. But bad ass is also the perfect descriptor. I’m voting tomorrow morning after a cup of coffee. Gonna think about this more Lol

    ATO siphon issue - how to fix?

    I’ve been running it like you mention for the last year with the ato turned off. I run a small fan to force more evap if I notice too much is dosing. Not very often. My Versa doses more when the container it pulls from has more volume in it. I don't know if that is a versa issue or standard. It...

    I understand. I don’t disagree with you or them. I do still wonder if a ph probe gives wonky readings when large amounts of debris are flowing around it like after scraping algae. I just don’t know enough about how they generate a reading and if debris can change the reading.

    I think I hear you @derek_SR & @RandyC If you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras. Common first then move to exotic. I don't know much about ph probes besides hearing they need lots of calibration and have a decent +/- error rate... Could the simple fact that debris from scrapping the...

    Goni fighting with its neighbor. Curious to see the blue tips of the Goni only on the fighting side of the coral. Would be cool to know if the color change at the tips is offensive or defensive.

    Sulfamic acid to clean pumps?

    good idea looking for other sellers than reefing companies for a cleaning product. Avoids the reefing tax. Somehow I have lucked out on current tank and have zero coraline algae to battle with. I just scrub powerheads clean in water change water when needed (algae buildup). Haven't touched the...
