    GFO in reactor turning white

    It is more like calcium on the tank surface-really hard to scrape off.

    GFO in reactor turning white

    Anyone ever have the GFO turn white? It seems as though there was some sort of reaction which caused a white chalky substance to form inside the reactor and also on the surfaces of my acrylic tank.

    Grab a Brewski with Drewski's 90 Gallon Tank! (picture heavy)

    Is there any danger breathing the fumes?

    Bob Moore Frag swap

    How does the coral swap work? Is there a certain time, or do you just bring in you own cooler for temperature management while you walk around?

    Keeping the glass cleaner longer?

    A UV sterilizer makes a difference as well. If you don't have one yet, get one of the strong magnets (like a hammerhead) that makes cleaning the glass a breeze. You can leave the pad in the tank ready to go.

    My skimmer is going crazy.

    That's the pad I was talking about. I have an ETS 800 skimmer that has a gate valve I can open up when it starts to bubble over. I ended up going to a foam shop and buying white pad material I cut up myself.

    Algae Mower Vac

    This is what I have been looking for to clean my sump. I have the ehiem vacume , but it is not strong enough.

    My skimmer is going crazy.

    Did you add a new filter pad (blue). My skimmer overflows like this when I add a fresh pad. It will go away after a day.

    Please help!! Temp spike!!

    Keep the lid open to the tank and add a fan pointed at the water. If the problem continues and you don't mind coming to Bellevue, you can borrow my drop-in chiller.

    The "A" word

    Looks like the start of a bubble coral to me.

    High Phosphates why?

    Is there live rock in all of tanks? I had phosphate leeching from my live rock for several months after I had a temperature malfunction which caused a die off.

    Reproduction of Pocillapora damicornis

    I have collected frags, and will offer them up when I can post on the classified page. I have a 220 and they are hard to spot until they grow out. I have used a wire brush on the ones growing in crevices, but they will still grow back. The best way I have found for these is a thick kalk mix I...

    Reproduction of Pocillapora damicornis

    I have had the same problem for the last several months. I have small colonies popping up everywhere! It is really becoming bothersome. They even grow on the spray bar at the back of my tank where there is little light. I am worried about these colonies (which I can't get to) blocking the holes...

    All About Sumps

    I live in a condo and I have the sump in a storage room on my outside deck. I can regulate the heat by how far I leave the door open. In the winter the door is almost fully closed and in the summer the door is left all the way open. The chiller and heater works less and helps with the power bill...

    All About Sumps

    One of the best things I did was add a second sump outside. There was to much equipment, heat, and noise coming from the sump under my display tank (220). I moved the circulation pumps outside to my second sump and I was able to add more rock and water. I was also able to add fans to help with...

    Hello

    Hello back! An exciting time indeed. Good luck. Remember to be patient. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I wish I had known about RF when I started 18 years ago-so many mistakes! Have fun.

    Why have snails?

    A little late, but my two cents. I didn't think my snails were doing too much until my clowns laid some eggs. They won't let anything near them, including snails. Now I can see a semi-circle ring of algae growing around the eggs. It showed me that the snails do indeed clean the rock surfaces off.

    Kalk reactor

    Is there a Kalk reactor that works off the RO/DI system?

    SPS (Small Polyp Stony Coral) Parameters

    Are you able to determine, by color, how deep (in relation to how much light) to put a coral?
