I purchased a Korallin Bio Denitrator about 6 months ago. This unit has been working great but in the last month or so I have been getting a very...
I thinking if i increase the lightning should I go with something like 2' T5? Low cost / Low power consumption / High output.
Here is a ruff drawing of the refugium. The inlet is 1/2“, and if I had to guess about the flow rate I would say it’s around 200 GPH / 3.33 GPM. The...
I noticed that my caulerpa is slowing dying off. My refugium lighting is a 6700K 15W light that runs 24/7. The lighting should be good, correct? As...
I don’t have any corals in the system yet, but that is my overall goal. I started this reef about two years ago. I’m doing baby steps & learning as...
you mean I should have purschased something like the 10,000K XM Metal Halide Bulbs instead of the Iwasaki 6,500K?

thanks so much for your help. Gonna start scooping the crap out now.

I never have seen this before grow in my LS. I think it algae but not sure. There are small little bubbles incased in the sand. When I take my algae...
It could be the fact the all 3 overflows come together to an 1" PVC that goes through the wall and into the garage where the sump sit. The maxium...
according to a chart i found at http://www.watertreatmentforyourhome.com/aboutflowrates.html the maxium flow rate for 1" PVC = 18GPM * 60 = 1080GPH...
Currently my system is All-glass120 gal with a 45 gal sump. I use a Blueline 70 (1750 gph) to return water from the sump to tank. I have to use a...
