    using media reactor with the return pump

    I was thinking about buying a waterbox aquarium from the Reef line. I noticed that the tank comes with a dual manifold. Is it better to use a separate pump to run a media reactor rather than using the return pump? I ask because I'm not using the reactors all the time so wouldn't I have to adjust...

    chromis compatability

    I'm planning a 70 gallon reef tank and I am trying to figure out what livestock I want. Is it safe to put two different types of chromis together? I was thinking of putting 5 blue/green chromis and 5 Vanderbuilt chromis.

    do I remove the media reactor?

    I put some mushroom corals that were on a piece of rock in my tank. The rock had some red algae on it and by morning the amount that was there had quadrupled. I didn't take care of it immediately so my tank was covered in algae and the corals were being overgrown. I cleaned the tank and got the...

    waterbox cube 20 pump running dry

    I recently added a media reactor to the back chamber of my Waterbox Cube 20. I am now having issues with the pump running dry. I think the water doesn't flow to the pump quick enough and the return chamber keeps getting drained. I just ordered another pump with a lower gph rating. I plan to add...

    protein skimmer for the waterbox cube 20

    I can not find a protein skimmer that will fit in the Waterbox cube 20. I had a Hydor Koralia Nano-Skim Internal Protein Skimmer which fit in the back and worked well, but restricted water flow causing the pump to run dry. I ordered another skimmer thinking that it would work, but the dimensions...

    How does the AI Prime light work?

    I have an AI Prime light for my reef tank and I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to work. Does anyone have some type of guide for the app? I'm having trouble connecting to the app as well as setting a schedule. I just want it on at 8 am and off at 8 pm, but the light goes on and off randomly.

    How do I remove ammonia from RO/DI water?

    I just purchased an Aquatic Life Twist-In 100 GPD 4-Stage RO/DI System for my 20-gallon tank. I didn't use the RO/DI water in the tank because it has ammonia in it. Instead, I used spring water from the store, but I was told that it won't sustain a reef tank for more than a few years. I want to...

    I’m starting a new tank and I’ve decided what fish I want and how many, but I’m really unsure of how big the tank needs to be.
