Sorry PH is fine, hasn't changed. I only use fresh RODI water for changes.

Did a water change today, about 14% of total volume. I made sure the salinity and temp were extremely close. My anemone has pulled itself completely in. Is this normal? I hope it isn't on its way out and its just not happy with the change. Any experiences like this...

I am getting some algae growth so I was looking to do the BRS GFO/Carbon reactor. Tank hasn't been up that long and I need to add this over the course of this week. thanks again

What are peoples experiences with using these two pieces? I know carbon is a good thing to have somewhere in your filtration but I have never used GFO. I am purchasing a phosphate test kit to see if i really need it but wanted to get some opinions on whether or not people are using these, and...

So after reading everything I tried two of the tunze pumps. very disappointed as they did not have enough power to move the water up to the display rank, just enough to fill the return. Annoying. Hearing what everyone suggested I decided to try and raise the pumps out of the water. Using...

Problem identified: I have run each Mag12 independently for 12 hours. Pump A maintains a temp of 82.5 in the tank, while pump B has let the water temp drop to 80 over night. I have already contacted the company i purchased from that I want to return the defective one and buy two new different...

I appreciate the feedback. I am going to grab some smaller return pumps as i just tested the water near the Mag12 and its reading 84 so that is definitely my problem. No decision time on new pump, tunze, octopus or mag9......

I shut down one pump and my temp is down .4 degrees. What a PITA.... I am thinking of moving away from the magdrives all together and grabbing something that uses much less energy.

Think I made a mistake in the description, my tank is drilled with two corner overflows. I completely agree that the MAG12s might be the problem. I am experimenting today with a new thermometer (going to buy one this morning) and by shutting down one of the pumps. If the problem is gone its...

I have 2 overflow boxes on each side, each pump is driving an individual return using 3/4" tubing. They sit in the sump completely submerged in water.

I really hope its not the MAGs as that would SUCK. I am moving the lights up a few inches, as stated earlier so we will see what that does. The canopy is open at the back and has a vent along the entire top section. The fans within the canopy is another thing I have been thinking about.

Funny I was thinking of covering the SUMP openings to prevent evaporation. Good idea though.

They are the Ehiem heaters and the indicator lights are off, but I have unplugged them and saw not change at all. They were freaked out at first but I calibrated them and its all good now. The lights are about 3 inches above the water now, but I am moving them to about 7 inches over the weekend.

Tank Build Info I have the following: 4 AI Sol Blue (intensity set to 50%, I think) 2 Mag Drive 1200 return pumps 1 Trigger System Bursa Protein skimmer 2 EcoTech Marine MP40s My heaters are not turning on so i don't believe that it is. I am working to mount the lights higher up as the...

I started my 180 gallon tank about 3 weeks ago. The room has a ceiling fan and AC in it. My temp gets up to about 82.4 every day, and I am debating as to whether or not I need a chiller. I have 4 AI Sol Blues above the tank, going to be raising them up to about 10" over the weekend. Do...
