    Anyone Running an ATS?

    I ran one on my first system for about 1.5 yrs and it worked very well keeping nitrates and phosphates very low, water very clean and cleaning the glass was less frequent. When I upgraded my system I had a new LED scrubber built but it was too big and was taking too much out of my tank so I...

    4-5" Red Sea Purple Tang FS

    Thinking about getting my feet wet again... Need Advice

    Paul I finally got around to measuring the sump and its 24x14x14 and is set up the following way left to right.....skimmer/return/fuge. The fuge has an 11" baffle so you can keep a higher water level in the fuge.

    Raising pH

    many people will tell you not to chase ph with additives because it will only lead to trouble and many will say that 7.8 ph is ok. Are your corals not looking good? What is your daily ph range?
