The three standpipes in your overflow should be at different heights. The one that is the lowest and sits a few inches below the waterline should be your siphon. It should have a gate valve on it and the line should discharge below the waterline in your sump. When you adjust the gate valve it...

I have the orange label (2018) base unit with probes , PM1, FMM with a few flow sensors and VDM unit. We’d to go through it all once kids sports die down in another month or so. Feel free to PM me if you are looking for something in particular and I can let you know.

I switched to GHL a few months ago and haven’t gotten around to selling my Apex yet. I have a few EB832s that I was going to put up for sale for 200.

I was just going to point him in your direction @Humblefish and the hybrid TTM. I’ve had several wrasses go through QT recently and did not do transfers due to concerns of stressing them out. I instead opted to give medicated baths, followed by observation with black mollies and two rounds of...

Just watched this yesterday and it touches on some of these issues.

200,gallon boxes of IO are 27.99 at The Hidden Reef. Hard to beet that price if you’re making a lot of saltwater. Now the 200 gallons that IO claims is at a lower salinity than we run our reef tanks but stilll hard to beat. When mixing larger volumes it’s not much of a hassle to adjust the...

Or if you’re close to the hidden reef I think they are selling them for 30 or maybe a little cheaper. That’s where I get my salt. Need to get some stuff for my QTs tomorrow and can check if I end up there.

I’ve had good luck with their return pumps. Wave makers have been hit or miss but I haven’t bought one in a few years.

I ordered a couple of bottles of pods and a bottle of phyto from that guy a few weeks ago and it went well. Had the intention of starting pod and phyto cultures. Them phyto culture is chugging along and I’m about to split it. I got distracted while I was adding the pods to my tank and forgot...

Hope you mend up soon!

No it’s SPotters old tank.

The tank is 3/4 glass a weighs about 650 pounds. Getting it up my basement stairs will be fun!

I looked around about a month ago for suction cups to get my new tank down the stairs. Ended up not needing them but I’m pretty sure Home Depot rents the heavy industrial ones.

Hmm sounds familiar. You’ve met one of us. :)

No experience with that skimmer but your system is on the lower end of its advertised range which is good since they tend to overstate that. Size wise it should be fine. I’ve been hesitant to go with proprietary pumps in the event that it dies and does need to be replaced. Got burned with...

Agreed. I have an SCA 150 and am very happy with it. Much better quality than I was expecting given the price.

Ive been looking around myself and honestly the only two that I’d think about trusting is TSM and Dr. Reef. Even with hose I’d probably put them in an observation tanks for at least two weeks, If you can’t do that these two places would probably be your best bet.

That’s one of the things that pushed me towards GHL since their upcoming ION Director does nitrate and there is some chatter about the possibility of phosphate being added. I’m really excited to see how alk monitoring/control works out and if it does simplify getting it stable. I’m getting...

I’m in the process of switching over to GHL after using Apex for several years. Not quiet at the point that I can tell if I have a strong preference one way or another. GHL has a leg up on build quality. Apex appears to be easier to program but that might just be my familiarity with it. GHL...
