    Suggestions for calcium reactor

    If you want to have more automation, attach a calcium reactor to a controller like an apex and an Alk monitor (I use KH Guardian). Pretty much set and forget.

    Return pump questions

    I'm always thinking about buying a backup but never have. Currently using a Coralife Turbo-Sea 1090 return for my 120 gallon (only has a single drain, if it had dual I might have upped the pump power). I bought got it used with the tank, so don't know how many years was on it before me, but for...

    I feel cheated.

    Is that a water chiller? Can you tell me more about it?

    Chloramines...grrrrr

    For those of you using a Chloramine Monster (or Pentek CRFC20-BB Carbon Filter Cartridge), and put it after sediment and before regular 10" carbons... if testing 0 chlorine after Monster, then the regular 10" carbons would never have to be changed? For those interested in Chloramine Monster...

    KHG on sale

    One thing I just noticed that the deal doesn't include the AIM module (which is the interface box to the Apex PM1 module). I think Alex has them for like $35 or something. You can see it in my photo above.

    KHG on sale

    Yea I would confirm with Alex, but I'm sure it's including the upgraded parts already installed. Only kind of crappy that it didn't include a mount or stand, but on the FB group, someone did share their 3d print file or you can buy it. I simply used a piece of acrylic and made a bend to make a...

    KHG on sale

    I have the KH Guardian, and will be upgrading the High Precision Nozzle and KH Enhance sensor soon. This is a good deal as I bought mine (monitor version which doesn't dose Alk only tests) for $420 from Coralvue Outlet ebay. This is for the controller which also doses Alk for you. I find this is...

    Mindstream monitor seems to be available

    They had a jump start and could have been good as an early product, but now there is just too much good competition from more reliable companies.

    Starting a business

    On another note, someone did try to make an eBay like site for corals, but it still hasn't really caught on. It was previously a Facebook group, but FB was blocking and flagging posts on selling corals, so they tried this. www.thecoralcollective.com .

    Starting a business

    Seems like most of the guys who "seem" to be making good money are ones who get new corals either from importers or some other source for new corals. Then they slap a fancy name on it, and sell it at a high price. $300 to $1000 per frag. Most of them ship around the country. By the time most of...

    Are all membranes created equal?

    I’m using the spectrapure 90 gpd membranes, supposed to have really good rejection rate. Haven’t done any calculations on actual use but technically should make the DI last longer. I’m sure those cheap ones would be fine too though. In San Jose, I remember invoking tds was mid to high 200’s...

    One tank or two??

    Depending on how much space you have and your sump size, you can run two tanks from one sump. If you tee off the same return pump to share, should be fine, but if you add a second return pump, you have to be careful of the overflow water when the power is off. I have my display and frag tank...
