    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    I can't remember if I have seen the level indicator on all the units I have installed. I just fill them about half way. As with everything in this industry, opinion and translation go hand in hand. I know the person that wrote the directions. They are a combination of translation from the...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    Wow. You boys play in the big leagues. Those two units, the PF600 and PF1000 are massive units. for systems of over 550 to over 1000 gallons. I have only installed 2 of these units on a very large, over 2000 gallon, system. They are much different then the PF-509 most of use use. You are...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    Mike, If you tell me the model of Deltec Reactor you are using, I am guessing it's not the PF-509, I might be able to help you out. They are simple if you understand how there were designed. It took me a while to figure them out, but once you get them setup correctly, they work very well...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    You are correct about it rolling around pretty good. Now, if you have a Deltec reactor, here is how it works. The pump controls the tumbling action and there is no adjustment for that. On the elbow that is connected to the intake of the pump there are to nipples.(sorry, but did not know what...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    Fishermann, I think you got the directions for ROWAphos when used in a fluidized bed reactor like the FR-509. The reactor for use with ROWAlith C+ is a PF-509 to start. When using ROWAphos in the Deltec reactor, you only want the ROWAphos to look like it is dancing on the surface of the media...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    As you can read above, no, you don't need a Deltec reactor for run ROWAlith C+. It will work well in any fluidized reactor. The other nice feature about ROWAlith C+ is that the small particles should make it through most pumps without causing any damage. A sponge or filter floss of some type...

    Calcium reactor media!!!!!!

    Deltec reactor wooo's Sorry for not catching this sooner, I've been on vacation. ROWAlith C+ does not have an "inert" part. Both the light colored and dark colored particles are both calcium based. The dark stuff is harder and is mined from a coral bed that is mixed with carbon, which is...

    Great reading at National Geo

    There is a great article this month in National Geographic on colors of the Coral Reef. Faboulous pictures and a nice little video. May answer some questions about light too. http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0505/feature5/index.html

    refugium ideas

    CPR makes a very nice hang-on refugium. There are plenty of knock-off's on eBay. I run Miracle Mud in all of mine and they seem to do great. Just don't fill your hang-on refugium with live rock and substrate. It will be to heavy and could cause a problem you don't want to have.

    Macro algae in overflow?

    I have two clients that have overflows and don't have refugiums that I have done just what you are asking. I would only use Cheatomorpha as it does not root to the walls. Just make sure it does not get caught in the drain tube. That would make a mess. You will also only need a small amount...

    co2 problem lingers

    The red slim is just feeding of the dead material on the surface of the rock. You can just vacuum it off with a hose. It is much safer then putting something in your tank that kills stuff. Like I said above, I have the same problem with a clients aquarium. It took to services over two months...

    co2 problem lingers

    If you read mjs's post, all of the params are good except for calcium. That is not going to cause the problems listed. What mjs is seeing is a result of the pH shock. I could be wrong, but I don't think a water change for the sake of a water change is going to make that much difference at...
