Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Your kalk reactor is probably flat bottomed. I'm inclined to believe that the funnel shaped bottoms (or 2L soda pop round bottoms) of are preferable because gunk shouldn't collect in either. That said, when searching for Aqua Medic Plankton reactors this past weekend, I actually came across a...
While searching for the perfect soda bottle, I remembered I had one of these Aqua Medic reactors that I picked up used many years ago. Looking at it again, it occurred to me that it was just a tall skinny bottle. It would need similar fixings to those needed by the ((FORDTECH)) design. The...
Looking for one or two Aqua Medic Plankton reactors, preferably those without the fluorescent light.
Here's a link to what it looks like:
Plankton Reactor - Aqua Medic (DISCONTINUED)
I wouldn't be happy with your reported pH levels. Suggest you validate them with some other pH test kit(s).
If they actually are that low, I'd consider dosing Kaltwasser. Just don't dose the kalk as a top-off water replacement - dose a fixed amount daily that is less than your daily top off...
My algae filtration has been a little too much for my system. I've been getting 0 ppm measurements (Phosphorus Hanna Checker) for my phosphates and the same 0 ppm measurements (Hi Range Hanna Checker) for my nitrates. I'm currently using Sea Chem's Flourish to boost my phosphates and...
Suggest you offer free beer (and maybe even some free hot barbeque) for your recruits! You might even consider billing the occasion as an NJRC gathering! GLWM! (Good Luck With Move!)
Eric,
If you have the metrics (size, age, temperament, etc.) for the Desjardins and if the owner is willing to sell (vs. trade) it, please let me know.

Anybody know where Reef Beauties is actually located? I see no location reference on their site. Their 15 Day arrive alive & survive Guarantee of most of their livestock items (except for those marked as needing experienced care) is certainly reasonable. Their quarantine procedures aren't very...
Greetings NJTaxMan,
No harm done...
I'm suggesting the following idea for you down-the-road after you've mastered your Phyto Reactor and successfully have it up and cooking.
You could feed some of the reactor's output into a Copepod Reactor. The pods would love the live food, and excessive...
