  1. Tank Update & (as usual) Pics!

    Nothing too new with the tank this month. I've been watching my water parameters to see how long I could go without a water change. No increase in nitrates whatsoever still. I've tested 0 for over four months straight now (test works fine, I've got another batch of rock cycling). Calcium dropped down a little bit to around 420 and I noticed my monti cap lose some of it's green tint. In the next couple of weeks I'll be getting in and installing my Next Reef reactor, an MP10ES and maybe a few ...

  2. Ceramics

    Back to some tank updates.
    Been struggling for weeks with choice of scape esepecially after I saw the amount of detritus that went out of my rocks in teh 150 while taking the corals out despite having a strong flow...
    So the decision was taken to go with Ceramics. Had the chance that a fellow reefer here was also going with Ceramics which made ordering much easier.
    We dealt with a company in Germany and their customer service in making multiple different scapes for our tanks ...

  4. NP Biopellets??

    Hey y'all,

    Was thinking of getting a reactor and some NP Biopellets. I have a few questions:

    For the people who use or used NP Biopellets, what do you think of it? Pros and cons?

    Secondly, I've heard if you run biopellets and do 2 part dosing you can stop one of the 2 parts. Is that true? If yes why? Or do I still do 2 part dosing and biopellets?

    Thanks,

    -HAT-

  5. What to do... what to do???

    Hi all,
    Recently came into a standard 29G and cherry stand. Older tank that I sealant stripped (only the inside) then resealed and water tight tested. Always kinda wanted a QT... and always kinda wanted a frag tank.

    The DT is 75G w/35G fuge. What is the consensus... set it up as a frag and plumb it to the DT fuge... plumb it to its own fuge... say a 10G long... or set it up independant as a QT? Other ideas?

    Come on gangsters... weigh in on this for me! ...
