    Reactor feed

    I did a tee off of my return with a Jg fitting and piped that right into the reactor... Seems to work just fine... I have used a powerhead as well but they clog after a while... Was just easier in the long run to run it off the return line.. James

    Reef Chili ?

    I used the old stuff when he was still shipping frozen weight... WE had a club buy on it down here... In all honestly It was very Expensive for what you got at that time... yeah the fish loved it and the feeding responses from the corals was great but the price vs quantity was just a bit too...

    Crystal Sea Marinemix & Bio-Sea Marinemix

    Anthias Compatability
