  1. My Diy Stirrer Plate (lots of videos)

    My Diy Stirrer Plate (lots of videos)

    I dose alkalinity and calcium to my tank via a bubble magus dosing pump. However, despite the fact that it’s said that after mixing soda ash and calcium carbonate powder with distilled water into their respective container they are supposed to stay mixed, I have had quite the opposite experience. Although there isn’t sediment resting at the bottom of the containers, the liquid is more concentrated throughout different areas, making constant tank ...

    I was planning a 300g in wall build with large fishroom in half of the garage. While the idea was just perfect in my head, my wife had other ideas. You see, she has been very tolerant of my reefing addiction over the years. She is actually the one that got me into saltwater but she ...
