Brightwell Aquatics Magnesion-P Magnesium Supplement.

by TH3C1SC0K1D on 10-27-2011 at 08:41 PM
I have been testing my Calcium and Alkalinity levels recently and the numbers just did not sit right with me. So I purchased an Elos Magnesium test kit so I could check my Magnesium level as that is where I believe the culprit lies. Sure enough my Magnesium level was 1200ppm which is about 150ppm below where I would like it to be. So I purchased from Brightwell Aquatics Magnesion-P Magnesium Supplement that I could mix myself and dose into my aquarium.


Now according to the

Brightwell Aquatics Phosphatr Regenerable Phosphate-Adsorption Resin.

I have been seeing some bad side effects from what I can contribute to is due to the Bio Pellets that I decided to add to my aquarium. So I decided to ditch the whole Bio Pellets thing until I can get every one of my issues under control. Then I realized that I needed something to keep phosphates in check while I worked out the kinks. So I decided to turn to Brightwell Aquatics Phosphatr Regenerable Phosphate-Adsorption Resin. I purchased the smallest amount available (175ml) so I could test

Possible Lighting Intensity Issue Causing Tissue Necrosis on SPS Corals.

I have run into my first major issue with my reef aquarium. I built my LED Lighting System myself.

I originally had the lighting system suspended about 8 inches from the top of the aquarium. My seabed is located 15 inches into the aquarium. This lighting system put out the equivalent of a 250

Need Recommendation on Dosing Equipment.

by TH3C1SC0K1D on 10-23-2011 at 07:55 PM
Okay so I am at the stage where I would like to add a dosing unit on my aquarium to automate the addition of Zooplankton, Phytoplankton, Magnesium and Kalkwasser (seperate it from the auto top off unit currently in place) and also to control the effluent from my Calcium reactor. Price is not too much of a factor and I have been thinking about two dosing units in particular. What are everyone thoughts?

Avast Marine Works Swabbie Protein Skimmer Neck Cleaning System.

by TH3C1SC0K1D on 10-22-2011 at 06:44 PM
In my effort to get my aquarium as automated as possible I purchased another great product from Avast Marine Works, the Avast Marine Works Swabbie Protein Skimmer Neck Cleaning System. The installation was simply as the product comes built unlike much of the other equipment that I have purchased in the past. So after a few minutes of getting the correct measurement on the Wiper Blade I had it connected and running on my Protein Skimmer. I have run out of available outlets on my Neptune Systems
