That's the one I was looking at but I don't think I'm ready to spend $800 on a calcium reactor yet plus additional required equipment to run it. Maybe I'll wait another year and see how much I'm consuming.

Yes it is quite an upgrade in price, luckily i knew that i was going to eventually upgrade so I gradually bought what i think I'd need which I think I was able to succeed in doing

I don’t currently vodka dose however when I did in the past this was the ratio I used to make the solution

How are you liking the tank? To me I think it's the best purchase I made. It's a solid tank for the price point, did you get the sump with it as well or did you buy a separate one?

@nightmarepl I do have the 350's on the side and 2 MP40's on the back wall. The gyre's i run a pulse at 70% and shoot it up towards the surface and it creates some nice wave motion. The MP40's I have at 40% I believe and the only way I can accomplish that is without sand. I tried the pink Fiji...

Here is the DIY version of NOPOX "NOPOX, a diy mix of 500 mls vinegar (5%), 375 mls vodka (80 proof), and 125 mls RO/DI matches the ratios."

Following along as I’m curious people’s thoughts as well.

The Sam’s club by me in Freehold sells alcohol

I don’t see that one available anywhere. I’m definitely going to be looking at all of the Black Friday deals. I would love a Geo or Reef Octopus but don’t want to shell that kind of money.

That's awesome. Which one did you get? How big is your system? What were you dosing before? sorry for so many questions lol. I have an APEX and an extra PH probe so I'd connect it to that.

Thank you, right now I'm dosing 85ml/day BRS balling 2 part and 5ml of acropower/ day as well. I may look at calcium reactors during black friday. I know everyone says they are easy to set up but i still find it somewhat intimidating lol

It’s been a while since an update. The only negative to the tank is that a did mysteriously lose my bangaii cardinal. I don’t know what happened everything seemed ok in the tank I just happened to notice one day he wasn’t there. There is a bit more aptasia in the tank than I would prefer but I...

I've been moving it around. I had it around 450 par and it turned red, now i have it around 300par and it's more of a green. I'm having a hard time pulling the rest of the colors.

I really think the IM tanks are the best value. I got my 200 for far less than most other manufacturers.

While I do think the reef moonshiners program is a fine program, I don't think it keeps corals from dying. I think it's designed more to have corals that are already surviving and help them thrive. I did the reef moonshiners program when my acros were dying but it did not help, the corals died...

Start with getting your nitrates up and see from there. I started ammonia dosing for nitrates and I'm seeing a great improvement to my acros.

@Kirk Frey may have some and he's about an hour from you. I recently bought a chunky frag from him that is doing great.
