    ZEOvit

    Thanks, Since I'm designing the sump, what accomodations should I have? I'm thinking about this design, would it work? http://www.socalcreations.com/images/sumps/scc1a.jpg Also I heard the iAquatic makes a good ZEO reactor, what do you guys use? Thanks Doug

    New tank calcium addition questions, 2-Part ionic?

    Thanks Krish & Steve. I have 3 x 250w HQI on 72". I will be adding actinic T5, so that should get it growing. I also purchased B-Ionic and Purple Up and will monitor the Cal/Alk/ph daily. I will purchase the Mag test kit. BTW... what do you guys use for boosting Magnesium? Thanks Doug

    New tank calcium addition questions, 2-Part ionic?

    My new 180g is up and running, 180lbs LR and the purple coraline on the LR is, well kind of gray and has not gotten brighter or spread. It maybe washed out by the 3x250 HQI, but probably because I haven't added any chemicals. Salt is IO w/ Kent RODI 4-Stage Hi-S Salinity 1.025 (Refractomer) PH...

    Is the Marineland Black Diamond AC steam processed like you suggested? Is this the best AC to use in reef? Thanks Doug

    RO/DI Stupid Mistake

    I have the Kent Marine Maxxima Hi-S. I would like to verify on mine that the blue hose is the good water and the black hose in the rejected water? I did add a flush kit to the unit. The blue hose puts out less water than the black, is this normal? approx 60% rejection rate? I will...

    Tunze 6000, 6100 or Wavebox 6212?

    For a 180g Bowfront tank (72" x 29high x 18+) which would be my best choice for intank wave like circulation . I've heard excellent reviews on the Tunze items. I would like to get the polyps and softies swaying naturally back and forth. Would the WaveBox 6212 be good, or should I consider 6000...

    Best electronic ballast for XM 10k mogul?

    MH lighting for 180g bowfront Maxx, thanks for your great reply. I'm leaning towards 2 x 250w SE XM 10k for the sides and 1 x 400w SE XM 10k for the center (bowfront tank). I will be using Actinic supplementation and an ozonizer for very clear water. Since I live in California and...

    Best electronic ballast for XM 10k mogul?

    Aro Thanks. That was the one I was thinking about. Should I consider 400w with a 172g 29" height? Thanks Doug

    Best electronic ballast for XM 10k mogul?

    I'm setting a lighting retro-fit for a 172g Oceanic bowfront tank w/ matching Oceanic plastic canopy. Eventually I will be using a Neptune AC3 controller for lighting control and dimmming. Tank dimension is 72L x 24w x 29h, MH will be inside the Oceanic plastic canopy w/ removable lids...

    Ozone without controller???

    I'm setting up a 180g w/ additional 30g volume in sump/refug, total 210g. I'm thinking about adding Neptune AC3 in a few months. Would it be ok to use an ozoninzer without a controller temporarily considering the volume of the tank. Aren't most tanks around 250mg and when you add 100mg, it...

    Brad - could you ask him this question also? Thanks Brad, I'm in Los Angeles area, otherwise I would like to hear the President of EcoSystems speak. Here are a couple questions that I wish I could ask: 1. Water clarity impact 2. Why is EcoSystems miracle mud so much more expensive than...

    Does mud have any impact on water clarity?

    I'm setting up a 180g w/ 30g Refugium and a seperate sump w/ ASM G3 Sedra 7000 skimmer. Will using miracle mud (approx 10 lbs in a portion of the refugium have any impact on water clarity? I will be using mostly Chaeto and maybe some other macros (limiting volume of calurpa). I will be adding...

    Controllers/monitors for pH and ORP

    I'm setting up a new tank. I was thinking about a pH monitor from American Marine Pinpoint but I would eventually like to add ozone and would need an ORP controller also. I will probably consider a dual type controller and get the additional benefits of light controls, powerhead controls, etc...
