    What to look for in Live Rock

    Get some bacteria in a bottle and order pods online to make your dry rocks "live". Stay away from "live rock" unless you are sure they are pest free.

    a Simple and complicated question how do i rinse carbon

    He is asking about how to rinse out NEW carbon. You can renew carbon if you have an oven that can get hot enough.

    a Simple and complicated question how do i rinse carbon

    I soak my carbon in a 5 gallon bucket of RO/DI overnight, stir and scoop out with a fish net, rinse again with some RO/DI again before putting it in the media reactor.

    calcium reactor media

    ARM Corse Media in the first chamber. You have to run your PH down to around 6.7 to dissolve this but I have never had a problem of it "melting" like the finer stuff. I use the fine (original) in the second chamber, thats more to raise the PH of the effluent before going back into the sump.

    Question for the vortech users

    I would skip the 7095 controller and go with a Apex controller for two hundred more. You get more "value" if you go with 6105's, unless you are getting 6100 and magnets for less than $200 a set. Here is a video of a single tunze wave box on a 300 gallon tank. FWIW, I had it running like that...

    calc

    I would buy a new Ca test kit and check again. How are you testing your PH and KH? What's your Mg?

    Rob's 93g 30"x30"x24" Marineland Cube

    They do use UPS ground and takes about 5 business days to get it. FWIW, I am on my third bearing base plate and I only had this pump since Sep of last year. IME, the pulse mode kills the bearing plate.

    It means the pump is slowing down and needs a cleaning.

    How do you keep KH up?

    Test your Mg, you should not drop this much everyday unless you are growing inches of SPS every month.

    gluing coral to rock

    I will alway use two part epoxy if I am doing this in the tank, IC gel if I can do this outside and wait for the glue to dry first. I used IC gel in the tank directly for the first time two weeks ago, lost three yellow tangs because they glued their mouth shut after picking at the clumps of IC gel.

    Mixing salt?

    I typically mix up 35 gallons and it sits in a covered drum in the garage for at least a week, sometime up to 20 days. I always roll the IO or Reef Crystal bucket around on the floor before I use the salt, this is to break up the clumps in the bucket. I don't do more than a 20% water change at...

    Bearing for snapper

    I bought the last sets from McGuire Bearings, right by Boeing Field and less than $8 for the two. I have two spares(for A.O. Smith motor) I can loan you, if you need them before next week.
