    how to reduce saltwater nitrate

    Take out the bio balls in your wet/dry filter. Until you do you will always run higher nitrate in you system the live rock is the best bio filtration there is and there is no need for the bio balls or bio media. I think you will find out if you do this it will go down to zero. Dave

    Pacific Coast Import Chiller. Beware of warranty!!!!!!

    The Said thing is that all manufacturer unless you bought it at Wal-mart require you to pay for the shipping for warranty work. It sucks that poor alberto problem was with something that has to be on a pallet to ship. In our case living so close to these guys it would be cheaper if something...

    My new 300gal tank

    Thanks Brad I will get some pics of it running when I get the new pump Sequence 1000 series (5000). IAP is a great bunch of guys and I wouldn't shop anywhere else they have always stood behind there work and you don't have to ship you stuff off if you do have a problem. Dave

    Pacific Coast Import Chiller. Beware of warranty!!!!!!

    Med Sized Skimmer Comparison 100-150 Gal

    That is a great skimmer for the money! I think that was a great choice. I don't think you can go wrong on the Ets or any of the Beckett skimmers all are great skimmers and work great. :) Stay away from Wet/Dry filtration if you are going to do a reef tank :mad: . The most important thing...

    Med Sized Skimmer Comparison 100-150 Gal

    I have to agree with Steve all the skimmers he listed are not that great for the money you spend on them. The ASM G-2 would be a great choice I have seen many of the ASM skimmers work it is the best skimmer for the money that is easy to setup and comes with a good pump for around $300.00. The...

    Skimmer Problem

    Have you tried to adjust the stand pipe to create more back pressure? If you have then try the Euroreef tech support. I would assume the pump is the right size because it is the one that came with it. Sounds like you adjust the stand pipe it should fix it. Dave

    Paint Acrylic

    I would do the insert piece from IAP it is not going to damage the tank and the resale is better on the tank if you ever get rid of it the latex paint seems to peel over time on one of my old glass tanks. Dave

    My new 300gal tank

    Here is a few pics. The chiller is working great it took it about 1hr to pull the temp down from 84 to 79. With 400gal of water I think thats pretty good! Now it comes on for about 5min and it is cool again. The skimmer is working great took a couple a days to get it dialed in but doing...

    10000k HQI's still yellow

    My friend here in town is running Hamilton 14k and they appear like you would think the 10k should. I can not speak for all bulbs, but the Ushio, Hamilton, and XM all appear in person to me yellow looking. Pictures tend to show the bulbs more blue on my tank than they appear in person...
