    Phyto test run...

    I’ve been going for a month now and had one crash so far (I think I let it go too long between harvest). Been using an old tractor supply fixture from when we had baby chicks and a Home Depot led bulb.

    Neptune DOS Kalk stirrer

    This is pretty much how i'd like to set it up. He just set a specific ml/day and went with that instead of letting the trident adjust the dosing rate.

    Neptune DOS Kalk stirrer

    Thanks for the feedback guys! There will be no kalk going through the doser as it will bring fresh rodi water to the kalk stirrer and will drip out of there via gravity into the sump. Although I will be using the same reservoir as the ato, it will be independent from it so the amount of...

    Neptune DOS Kalk stirrer

    Question for APEX users, I have the trident and just recently bought a DOS (thanks again @brokereefer) along with an Avast Marine Kalk stirrer. Is it possible for the DOS to dose the kalkwasser based on trident testing? I’ve seen where you can really dial in and make the alk very stable with 2...

    Bare bottom setup

    I have a 6 month old 125 bare bottom and so far no real issues. I seeded it with a few marine pure blocks that I put in my biocube a few months before I set it up. I let it cycle for almost 2 months before I added fish and then started putting coral slowly in about a month after putting the fish...

    Equipment price increases?

    I work in internal logistics (shipping and receiving) at one of the largest flavor and fragrance company in the world and the struggles logistically that we've had to overcome in the last year are unprecedented. From raw material shortages to trucking companies unable to meet our demands. And...

    Alkalinity

    Hannah for Alk is super easy. I'm not familiar with the Salifert test kits and use Red Sea, they're not too difficult and seem fairly accurate. I've compared them to the APEX tests and they're very close

    Alkalinity

    That seems to be around what I dose and I have a lightly stocked 6 mo old 125 gallon tank. I started putting kalk in my ato (minimum recommended dosage and it seems to be stable now around 8. Soon i'll be getting a kalk stirrer so i don't ruin the ato pump.

    You got it! I’ll research when they’d be big enough to take out of the tank and post them

    Trochus Snails

    I have what seems to be thousands of baby trochus snails. I first noticed them about 2 months ago and I thought by now they’d be dead but they’re still going strong. At this rate I’ll be giving a bunch away this summer and try to get store credit from LFS.
