    Does your reactor clog

    So I have been toying with idea of adding a GFO reactor to my system and while I am at it, I want to replace the carbon reactor I currently use. I have been looking at BRS dual reactors, as well as many other brands and reading a thread over at another SW forum about how the BRS reactors clog...

    Canister Filters?

    Hi Nana, I will add my two cents FWIW. Yes it does matter this is for a SW system. Before I start, keep in mind people have kept SW, whether FoWLR, FO, or full reef with every possible combination of equipment and had varying degrees of success. My personal belief is that the equipment one...

    Egg crate below sand?

    One of the reasons to use eggcrate (or some other equivalent) is to evenly distribute the weight of the rock structures over the entire bottom glass of tank. If you place rock directly on glass and stack rock on rock, you could likelly have 120 pounds of rock supported on 4 or 5 points...

    equipment

    Just want to +1 Maxx's comment on unions. When I built my 90 I didn't use them and every time i wanted to change or clean something it was a MAJOR PITA. When I built my current 150 I used unions EVERYWHERE. Unions are your friends, a little money now saves headaches tomorrow. I have ball or...

    equipment

    So, this may sound strange, but I have another suggestion. First I give a +1 on everything that has already been said, lights, skimmer, and controller, I would never run a tank without a controller. I ran tanks for years without them, and after getting one, I dont know how I lived without it...

    How do live rock and susbtrate bind phosphates?

    I need to revisit this.... I had decided a while back NOT to get a GFO reactor and media because I was not getting any phosphate readings on my test kits (API). But if the primary source of phosphate is over feeding and my test kit doesn't test for this type of phosphate, then I could have a...

    OBD Signature Protein Skimmer Owners Forum

    I just read this... thats not possible unless under normal operating parameters. There is only one explanation i can see. Water is escaping somewhere else out of the body of the skimmer. We all know water will find its own level, the water in the skimmer body HAS to be at least at the level...
