Hello All---hoping I can get a good recommendation. I recently moved from a situation where my water was being topped-off from the basement below up about 5' into the tank. AT my new place, there is no basement, and the RODI unit is T'd off of my washing machine, which is about 15 feet away from...

My tank is 14 years old....I have always had high Nitrate and Phosphate issues, and have tried everything. I am now back to a refugium, and to that end am using my center compartment in the sump, lighted by a Kessil H160 Tuna Flora. I bought a baseball size (2 of them) bunch of Chaeto and now, a...

Yes I’ve been hitting all the dead spots … when I first started 2 weeks ago, the water I was siphoning out was quite dirty. Now it’s pretty clean wherever I siphon. I guess I’ll keep doing 30g water changes everyday until the Nitrates go down.

I’ve been siphoning around the rock everyday.. should I move all of the rocks so I can get under them all? That would be a huge job, but I’ll do it if it’s recommended.

Red Sea makes a product to bring down phosphates and nitrates (NoPox)

Nope. Never. I am doing water changes every day (30g / day), and dosing NoPox...Nitrates won;t budge. REALLY weird and upsetting.

The tank is 180g….my 13 fish mostly Tangs lived happily for years….when I restock, I’ll definitely keep the fish population to a minimum. Thank you.

Yes but this happened suddenly...I have had a thriving tank for YEARS until 2 weeks ago.

Over the past 2 weeks, I have lost most of my fish. Gem Tang, Purple Tang, 2 Yellow Tangs, Sohal Tang, Tomato Clown, Wrasse, Powder Blue Tang and a Hippo Tang. When this first started happening, I thought it was Ice, but the fish didn't look like they had been infected with that. Their skin was...

180g...13 years old....I tested my Nitrates and they are off the charts! I din't understand why...the only new thing I did was re-start my Ca Rx after having it off for about 2 weeks....I hardly have any fish left...did a water change and will do another tomorrow. Why do Nitrates shoot up all...

I am freaking-out. Yesterday I awoke to a dead wrasse. Ok that happens every so often so I just chalked it up to dying a natural death. This AM I awoke to my Powder Blue, Orange Shoulder, Gem and Purple all dead and others about to be dead. Devastated. My parameters are as follows: Salt: 35...

I don't want to be dosing anything? Not carbon, nopox, or GFO?

Dear All: I have a 180G mixed reef tank, and have had NO3/PO4 issues for years. I am running Carbon, and 2 months ago, started using BRS Biopellets. I am also dosing NOPOX. When I started with the biopellets, I stopped running GFO (in my BRS dual reactor--the other chamber is where the carbon...

Just discovered about 30 of these next to eachother in a remote part of the tank near some rock. Any ideas as to what they are and should I remove them?

where can I get John's graph?

I'm hoping to get some good advice from the group. I have a 180g mixed reef tank. My parameters are where they should be and are very stable. I'm a HUGE Zoa fan, but for the life of me, I can't keep them thriving! I've determined that my lighting is the culprit (3 Radion XR30 Pro's). I've fried...

Maybe I don't even need a Ca Reactor? Someone on another forum suggested that I don't need a Ca Reactor at all. These are the specifics of my tank: 190G ALL softies 5 Anenomes 3 Clams (1 6', the other 2 are 2-3" all Maximas) Several Tangs A lot of Ricordia, and Zoos 1 pretty big Acanastra...

Dear All: After much research, I've decided to purchase a Ca Rx for my 190G reef tank. I have mostly softies, 13 or so fish (mostly Tangs), anenomes, etc. all controlled by a Neptune Apex. So far, I have decided to get the following (I am not limiting my budget): Neptune pm1 Neptune pH...
