    Changing salt mix

    I have attached the flyer stating the mix levels of Oceanic salt. When it comes to mixing different salts, the only formula to use is follow the manufacturers recommended mix rate and then mix the two batches of water together and see what you end up with. 50:50 or 25:75 is just a guess...

    Changing salt mix

    I too love these types of threads. If I did this right, there should be a jpg file with the mix level using Oceanic Salt mixed to their specs. Let me say that I have been using Oceanic Salt since before it was available to the public and I have had no issues with it in any aquarium. These...

    New Skimmer

    mojoreef, while you're at it, have you ever given any thought to inject air via a compressor instead of the venturi sucking in air?

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    I am sorry for any confusion when using our product due to the directions. I wish we had more control over that, but all we can do is make suggestions and hope for the best.

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    Scooterman, Your question is a common one. The subject of rinsing ROWAphos has been an issue since the beginning. I will do my best to cover the reason of why you may, or may not need to rinse ROWAphos. The manufacturing process used to make ROWAphos produces a large amount of very small...

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    reeffan, From what I can see, you have a great start on what you are building. What I can add is you need a plate and a sponge like you have on the bottom, at the top as well. If you over fluidize ROWAphos, it will end up somewhere in your systems if you don't have something to keep it from...

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    I am not sure what the material is. If you can tell me the difference between ceel cast and extruded, maybe I could tell you what they use.

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    from someone who puts a fluidised bed reactor on almost every systems I build, find a Deltec FR-509 and figure out how to make it for less then $199 and you will have a winner.

    DIY overflow 2000GPH?

    My question would be why would you want to move 2000 GPH through one overflow. It's going to make the noise of a small waterfall. You also need to take into consideration the pipe size as well.

    How much DTs to feed?

    For those of you that are phyto-plankton feeders, check out Reed Maricultures Coral&Clam Diet. I have seen fabulous results using it.

    T-5 vs VHO or power compact

    Check out the Maristar from Sunlight Supply. It might be the combo you are looking for.

    T-5 vs VHO or power compact

    I have installed lots of Sunlight Supply T5 light systems. If you are not putting them over a very deep tank, over 24", you will do fine. I have seen fabulous grow out tanks that only use T5 lights. They were only 18" deep.

    Rowaphos user:Ever killed your coral?

    You could use the 600, but just make sure the flow valve on the top of the Lifeguard is closed when you first plug in the pump. The lifeguard does not have any type of filter floss in it to stop the media from being blown out if the flow is to strong. Remember, slower is better.

    Rowaphos user:Ever killed your coral?

    Look for 1diverdown here. He is the Deltec guy and can direct you to where you can get one. I will tell you what I tell everyone else, Deltec has a high up front cost, put it is well worth it in the long run when it comes to performance and maintenance.

    Rowaphos user:Ever killed your coral?

    Dang...1st check your Ph and KH and make sure they are good. pH 8.2 and KH at least 8 or above. If these items are good, or at least very very close, you are good to go with starting to use ROWAphos again. If you are using it in a fluidized bed reactor, I recommend the Deltec FR509, make sure...
