    Salifert Magnesium test confusion

    Also calcium and alk are like that... The instruction say the air bubble is normal..... If you stop the end of the piston at 1ml mark, your reading is going to be at the end of the piston not the end of the fluid, air bubble is normal due to the tip you have to install at the end of the siringe

    Salifert Magnesium test confusion

    Yeah those are too many changes in a short period of time, but the mag so high should be ok, my friend suggested me to got the mag to 1500, but I aim to 1300/1350, just wait a couple of days and test again, I don't know about lowering mag , most of the time is the opposite, maybe a water...

    75g set up

    You can contact the manufacture and ask about drilling holes in tank, you have to make sure the glass is not tempered, if glass is tempered you can only use the hang on back. You need a sump, a return pump, lights,skimmer,power heads and a heater for hardware.....also for 75 g you need like 1...

    Sump set-up question

    I use a cpr overflow, and I m happy with it,but 2 weeks ago the aqualifter broke due to a power outage and for 2 days had no circulation....
