    Closed loop quickee

    I'm finally done with my CL and ready to install. Since it has more flow than what my tank is used to, should I use the ball valve and slowly ramp up the flow rate? kind of the same idea when you add new lights on a tank.

Save yourself some time and money and...

    Closed loop build questions

    Thanks, What exactly is the equation for flow out of a CL with 6 outlets? Is 200/ outlet a decent start. to much, to little. i don't want to blow away all my corals.

    Closed loop build questions

    I appreciate all the feedback... I don't want to sound completely stupid but can you explain to me what the "y" exactly is? Also, what is a BH. i couldn't find it on the acronym list. By the way I may trade up to a 9.5 or maybe an iwaki equivalent. Any oopinions between the two? Would it be...

    Sad Shrooms

    How are your Phosphates? I had the same problem before, and it seemed the shrooms knew my phosphates were up before anything else ( and it was my green shrooms also). it doesn't take much.
