    Calc reactor help

    Are you talking about tank dKh? I would do water changes to lower your tank dKh 30BPM is a good start. Whats your effluent rate at? Your reactor dKh should be twice that amount. Dont adjust your reactor to raise or lower your tank. Reactors are to maintain levels, not adjust them.

    Its fast stuff Suck it out and keep sucking it out. It will subside. It usualy grows in cycles. Slow up on your feeding or your additives that is fueling it.

    Calcium Reactor pH

    Why hasn't there been a sticky about Calcium reactors yet??? I see these kinds of questions a lot. Does a person just need to take the time to write one up? Sorry don't mean to step on toes but a sticky would help people a LOT about reactors.

    Available refugium lights

    Hey Cy What do you have for available refugium lights? I'm interested in a few Sun Blaze T5 strips for a new 40G Fuge I added to the system. Or do you have anything you would suggest using? I plan on being in on the 21st. Thanks Cy!

    Boomer Mr chemist that you are

    Hey I have a question if you may. About 3 months ago my anemone decided to take a walk for the first time in almost 8 months. I never could figure out why it did that. Well one day I thought it would be good to check the dKH of my fresh saltwater. Here is what I found- When first mixed (Instant...

    Calling all electricians ?????

    That is the old school knob and tube wiring if it is all black single conductors and not that white romex wire. The most simple way to tell the "hot" wire in that stuff is to find a true ground and test one of those wires to ground. If it says 110V-121V then that one is "hot" Old wiring is...

    Starting over...

    Hey Mark welcome to RF I would first learn as much as you can on algae. It doesn't take much for that stuff to grow. To have a clean SW tank takes a lot of care. "My current setup is plagued with algae problems (lots of green) I believe to be caused from high nitrates (20-40ppm) and probably...

    Calling all electricians ?????

    (Upgrade as soon as you can) There are two ways you can add a grounded receptacle to a non grounded system. 1-You can run a ground wire from the receptacle to a ground rod system. 2-You can take your ground wire from the receptacle and clamp it to the closest water pipe.

    can twopart replace my reactor?

    Right on Don! I understand what you are saying. What I have is a HIGH Alk consumption and a medium calcium consumption. Its been a struggle balancing the reactor to this condition. Its working but I still have a Alk drop over a few months with my reactor.

    can twopart replace my reactor?

    Hey all.. Well on one of these threads I came across a link to Twopartsolution. The price is right if it is a good product. Can this replace my calcium reactor? I guess I am asking for info about this stuff. What do you think?

    fuge overflow excess food questions

    Ok when I shut down my return pump I loose my CO2. The reactor is fed off the pressure side of the return pump. When the pump is off it dumps all the CO2 into the reactor at one time. Not too stable for the reactor or my tank. My CO2 is working against the pressure of the pump.

    fuge overflow excess food questions

    Hey all! Well I added a 40 gallon fuge today to my system. Now I have a 110G tank, 30G sump and a 40G fuge. Well I got it all plumbed in and running smoothly. I just fed my fish, coral what not about 5 minutes ago. I look into my new 40G empty fuge and see a lot of the food I just fed floating...
