Didn't know nitrates could be bound up in algae too.. excellent point. That may explain why they're testing lower than ever now that I have more...
wow, that is some hot stuff right there
That’s what I originally thought about the bulbs, but went with that combination after several other members posted positive results with it. My...
I'm hoping the BRS reactor and GFO will help with the P04. Nitrates at 5 isn't bad is it?? I'll regenerate my Purigen before putting it in the...
Some more pics of the sump/refuge. In the first pic you can see the little remaining chaeto that died today. I had picked off all of the dead stuff...
About two weeks ago my football size chaeto started to lighten up and get some bubble algae on it, so I turned off my sump light for about 3 days....
Very cool! I can't wait to get one, but have read it "should be the last fish introduced" a few times--any truth to that? I've also heard that some...
M-Ocean Man is right, you want your overflow box to have a higher flow capacity than the return pump and you definitely want to install a valve to...
I can't get a better picture to save my life. There is no palm leaf look to it. It's more of wide, straight edge leaf that's a little wavy....
I have a 46 gal, would two be effective enough while not starving them out real fast? I could always stick one in the sump at some point if it...
Looks good! I have a frag with one head growing and one that's dead too. I'll be following this if there's a way to revive it!

I turned off the actinics, how about these? It's the pale looking leafy stuff
I've recently had this stuff start growing.. is there a particular fish or invert that would love to chow down on it? I was thinking of a LMB,...
Please, DON'T do this. Did you try any of the other suggestions?
Don't, whatever you do, put a ball valve on your overflow box drain line. If you were to ever get a snail or something else in there that slows down...
I think by "tank" you mean sump. But you're correct, the sump's water level shouldn't rise very much as long as you're using an internal skimmer box...
It would be easy to replace the breaker, but even if I put a 20amp breaker I'll still have the 15amp at the receptacle itself so the 15amp would trip...
I'm a little confused about your post--a little more detailed and clear explanation would help. I’ll give it a shot, but excuse me if I touch on...
well i played with it a few and they're all lighting off now with no problem. I even had everything else running at the same time, including the...
