    Miracle mud or live sand?

    Im having problems sourcing for chaeto here. None of the LFS that I know of carry chaeto. Any online reef store ships to Malaysia ? If any reefers here ship to Malaysia, let me know, I'll pay for all shipping charges etc.

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    IS there any problem starting a refugium on an established tank. Do I need some cycle time or is it ready to go as soon as it's set up ?

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    Thanks jobiwan. When you say you mix the mud and sand, do you mean that you actually mix them up together, so you get some sort of a mud-sand kinda paste or something ? I might give this a try !! What ratio of mud-sand are you using ?? I'm not planning for a DSB, maybe 2" max.

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    I guess using the rubble cuts down the risk of building up hydrogen suplhide as well. What about the lighting, is it too much or good enough ?

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    Can I put rubble live rock on top of this live sand or just rubble live rock from the bottom itself ? Can I crush live rocks and make the rubble, I think it should not be a problem right ? Thaks for the advise on the miracle mud.

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    Thanks eco. Appreciate your input. I was leaning towards sand as well, but just wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Im planning to run a 150W MH 12000k bulb on top of the refugium. The reason I'm going for this is it will also serve as a sps frag tray while I'm acclimating etc. Will...

    Miracle mud or live sand?

    Hi folks, I'm in the midst of setting up a refugium for my reef tank which has been running since 2005. Which one would you guys recommend to use, miracle mud or live sand ? Im planning to keep chaeto in the fuge. Is it safe to start a refugium when the tank is already established ? Thanks...

    Calcium Reactor problem

    Hi DOnW, I checked for leaks already, could not find anything. I suspect its the CO2 thats building up in the chamber. Could it be my effluent drip rate is too slow allwoing CO2 to buildup ? I will take your suggestion to stop putting the CO2 on a timer!!! It was recommended by the LFS, but I...

    Calcium Reactor problem

    Folks, Need some help on my calcium reactor. I have a Reef Octopus CR-140 calcium reactor. The problem with it is, the calcium drip stops when ever the CO2 is stopped. Im running CO2 on a timer to match the photoperiod. Is this the right thing to do ? I noticed that when the drip stops, the...

    Rowaphos & sps stn

    Why is that ? Reducing the phospate too quickly is detrimental to the sps'?

    Rowaphos & sps stn

    Hi, There is a talk among reefers here that overzealous usage of rowaphos can also contribute to sps' to stn. How true is this ?

    Is this lamp good enough???

    If the bulb height is recommended about 9" for the water, where can the sps be placed " Ie how far from the waters surface ?

    Some more sps

    FFrankie, that montipora took a tumble a couple of weeks ago. Probably knocked down by one of my hermit crabs. Some parts of the rim were broken off, but nothing serious. Its growing back again, and seems to be patching itself up quite quick now.
