Water Quality Log

I thought I would keep an active log to share with everyone concerning my water quality test. It will be updated weekly.

I have heard that Bubble Magus Protein Skimmers have a quality build, reliable pumps and are extremely efficient ...

Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel Dosing

I was lucky enough to stumble across a bottle of Brightwell Aquatics Reef BioFuel today in a local fish store in Long Island near my job. I am using this to provide a carbon source for Phosphate and Nitrate removal.
