    WTB: Live Rock

    I think now it’s better to start with clean rocks. you can add bacteria in liquid form and start the life you want to keep in the tank. Without having any of the bad stuff. if you get aptasia in that small tank it’s going to be very hard to get rid of it. with clean rock you can control what...

    Ocean water

    Ocean water is bad. You would have to go out very far to get clean ocean water. it’s also not worth the risk of contaminating your tank. They sell ocean water in a container if you want to add some bacteria. the beach is like the skimmer of the ocean. So you would have to go very far to get...

    Neptune ATK v2 question

    I Agree they all suck. tunze is the better choice. they have new optical sensors on the apex so that's good. so if you go with Neptune don't get it used buy it new and get the new version.

    50 gallon water container free

    It depends on what salt I use. When I use Red Sea I mix it and use it. When I use reef crystals I can mix a batch and leave it there until I need it.

    Kalk vs 2 part

    I run both. Kalk is cheap. For a small tank 50 or less I would just do two part. It’s very easy and you can control your dosing. On larger systems I would do both. I run esv 2 part for calcium and alk. Dose kalk at night.
