Anthony, a 5kg bucket is $169 and would last me approximately a year. That’s not a bad price. Do you think it would last that long and not go bad? I’ve used Rowaphos in the past and remember it’s a “damp” product. If it dries out would it still work?

what’s everyone using for GFO these days? I’ve been running BRS high capacity in a media reactor and use one cup every two weeks. I’m curious if there is a cheaper brand that people like. BRS is charging $85 for 1.65 lbs.

I’m thinking about changing the salt mix that I have been using and begin trying the Fritz salt mix. I’ve been using Brightwell salt mix for the past three years but it’s been getting very expensive lately. Right now a 5 gallon bucket is going for $105 and the Fritz is $85 a bucket. Does...

Update: I just tested my phosphates and they are now reading .04. It appears in about week my rowaphos gfo went through about 8 ounces of the product. While I love the fact that it reduced my phosphates almost instantly, I’m scared to think of what this will cost me to run on a daily basis...

I just checked my nitrates and they went from 13.2 to 7.5 in about five days. That’s a decent drop but there is still a trace of them. I’m hoping they don’t bottom out anymore.

Update!!! I checked my phosphates after having the reactor running for 48 hours and they dropped from .12 to .08 Than I just checked it today and I tested my water twice using my Hannah checker and they are now reading ZERO!!! This reactor has only been running since Thursday. Is this...

That sounds like a great way to approach it. Thanks

Ive been struggling to keep my phosphates in check for the last year. They usually hover around .12 - .08 So I just bought a phosban reactor 150 and filled it up with about three inches of rowaphos. I watched a video on how it should work and all looks well. My question is this: How often do...

Pitman 08071. Edison is a bit far from me.

Where are you located at?

My apex energy bar just died on me. Does anyone have an extra one that they want to get rid of? If so please let me know.

I like the “leave it alone” plan…. I was able stuff a small rag around it as well. This should help speed up the salt creep. Thanks Everyone.

So my tank has been up and running since February and today I noticed a leak from the return line bulkhead on the bottom of my tank. This leak drops directly into my sump. Here’s my question. Do gaskets on these bulk heads go bad after eight months? I haven’t touched any of that stuff and...

I give my tank a couple squirts of a shrimp mixtures everyday and every few days I give them some algae

My zoas, Duncan colony and my octospawn dont like it when my phosphates hit this level. I’m looking at BRS phosban reactor with a small pump that is included. I like the products from BRS and they usually work well.

One more note…. When I make my salt water the cleanest that I can get my water is .02. I’ve played with my rodi set up quite a bit, tested many salt water batches and this current make up is the best that I can produce.

My phosphates continue to bounce anywhere between.07-.13. My tank looks great when they are around .07. I currently use 250 grams of rowaphos in the baffles of my sump and change it out monthly. I also do 20% water changes every two weeks to try and keep them in check. I only feed my tank...

It’s that time of the year when it’s too mild outside to leave on the AC. but it’s still too warm to leave the windows open and ceiling fan on without having your tank temp rise. With that being said, what’s an acceptable temp swing without stressing out your corals and other inhabitants...

That’s what I thought…I have a few peppermint shrimp in my tank and they are not eating them either which surprised me a little. Thanks

Found this guy in my tank today. My gut tells me he is some kind of pest. Anyone? Thanks
