    Circulation pumps that integrate with apex (not WAV)

    It appears that one of the Neptune WAV’s I have is toast. I’ll see if I can fix it but after 5 years of service — but… Are people using circulation pumps that fully integrates with apex such as the sicce SDC? But that is-for example get full functionality in type of method (maverick...

    A broader discussion about skimmers / Tunze DOC 9430 - best skimmer money can buy? / Impact on phosphates?

    Was using their bacto balance for a bit of time. Def inexpensive and worked fairly well. I can’t remember why I stopped.. but will resume again. As to the rollermat- def impacts skimmer operations a bit I found but at the same time it can do a lot to remove esp uneaten food that then breaks...

    A broader discussion about skimmers / Tunze DOC 9430 - best skimmer money can buy? / Impact on phosphates?

    @Alexander1312 -do you have a rollermat? That I found to be very helpful in keeping down nutrients-I can’t remember now exactly but it it was down for a week I really saw N & P jump. Do not get me wrong -I do feed heavy & w/o Lanthanum dosing through skimmer my PO4 still jumps. Awaiting ICP...

    A broader discussion about skimmers / Tunze DOC 9430 - best skimmer money can buy? / Impact on phosphates?

    The science say it does -but whether it removes enough is the question- skimming alone has never gotten my PO4 low enough. Maybe the beast above does -I can’t say

    Does anyone have an LLC?

    I can’t speak to taxes and such- but my understanding of a llc is more for legal protection in that if the company gets sued -whatever it has in assets is it and it protects your personal assets. Don’t quote me on that though…

    Help Needed: Live Rock Bacteria & Nitrate question

    @CharlesJohns58 -Question on this-is there time of day/night where this should not be dosed? That is when optimal period where there is uptake from corals. I did attempt this once and two of my fish bought the farm in that week. I don't think it was the amount dosed per se-but rather the error...

    questions on (lack of) airflow, cooling fans and other related matters

    The laundry room can get really hot when those machines are going. I would have to check to see if the ambient air is warmer in the laundry when the machines are going than the cabinet. Larger issue is sound coming through those holes. Can't upset the fish with all that noise!

    questions on (lack of) airflow, cooling fans and other related matters

    The heat can quickly rise from 77.x to about 80 in about 7-8 hrs before I intervene cracking the lower cabinet door and blowing air in there. It use to be just summer but now its's occurring even into October! Thanks for all the products above. It is a very nice cabinet enclosure so we are...

    questions on (lack of) airflow, cooling fans and other related matters

    I have a fan inside but when it’s enclosed -def doesn’t do anything on its own. The need to open a hole in the cabinet and circulate air is clear..

    Vermetid snail quarantine. How long before they stop spawning?

    That is dedication for sure! Impressive. I see them in my tank but they seldom shoot out the mucus so I take them out here and there where I can

    questions on (lack of) airflow, cooling fans and other related matters

    Most chillers do not require ventilation but having one turn our laundry room into a mini hot zone may create other issues. There are some, albeit very expensive, I believe you can attach some sort of hose and vent out. As to ventilation -it was actually ok for the first couple years -but...
