Very difficult to get rid of them all. I would nuke the rock and start over.
+1 to sump/fuge on one side, skimmer on the other and return pump in the middle. That way, you can still keep everything running and isolate the...
Just to be sure, are you saying the blue line is your clean water? How many times did the RO start/stop over that 7 hours? An RO needs to be...
I used this set-up and it works great. The first video shows how to put it together. I used the air pump with a storage bottle from the second...
Welcome to 3Reef!
I started up my system with this pump. With head losses, I'm down to about 1-2x DT volume going to the sump. Tunze Recirculation Pump/Powerhead...

Will do. This tank is in the basement, has a cover on it, and a hood on top of that. It isn't "sealed", but there's not a lot of air movement...
My pH was a little low at 7.8, so I added buffer to bring it back up. I hate using the color strips with the API kit (I'm slightly color blind), so...
I went from 0,0,0 on last Thursday morning, added StartSmart on Thursday afternoon, and was up to 0,1,10 on Saturday afternoon. I assumed (there's...
Bump to the morning 3Reefers :)
