    BRS Dual Reactor

    Good Afternoon All, I have a BRS Dual Reactor running GFO & Carbon. After two weeks (regardless of media volume), the output depletes to almost a drip. The first to weeks the output is perfect. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it the sponges building up with debris? Can it run without sponges?

    Looking for a new skimmer

    I currently have a Tunze 9410. The skimmer is constantly a pain in my ace as it is always requiring adjustments and the littlest disruptions throw it off for days. I'd like to go the route of a cone skimmer with a smallish footprint and low energy consumption. Any suggestions?

    Miracle Mud or Fiji mud

    Man the opinions on miracle mud are polarizing in the hobby world....I guess a lot of that has to do with sponsorships

    Miracle Mud or Fiji mud

    Why does this have to be changed out annually? Could I just layer new mud on top of old mud? I'm assuming they reach capacity and begin leaching nutrients....?

    Never a dull moment....

    Woke up this morning to a power head that had disconnected from the glass tank panel. Facing directly at the sand it blew a whole in my deep sandbed, and pushed the sand all over my tank. How bad is this beyond the obvious annoyance of redistributing and moving the sand off the rocks. I'm...

    Vodka, Carbon Dosing

    100% RO, red sea refractometer calibrated almost every change w/ 35ppt solution, my salinity did fluctuate a bit, but not more than .003, the only other thing I can think of is my temp moved a bit from a power outage but nothing dramatic. I did change the lighting, but this was after the issue.

    Vodka, Carbon Dosing

    yeah, so activated carbon wont reduce nitrate either? yes, mostly zoas, shrooms, xenia, trumpets after phos popped: the trumpets struggled all the xenia died zoas closed up shrooms took a hit but recovered. this is what spawned my dosing conversations.
