    My First Reef: Redsea 525XL

    The gyre has been redone. Blades are much stronger. To clean it I put it in a bucket of water with vinegar and let set for 12-24 hrs. Taking it apart if neede is no difficult once you do it a couple of times.

    My First Reef: Redsea 525XL

    Having used a number of different pumps, I like the gyre the best, especially if the tank is not a wall of rock. The movement will reach the entire inside, and as I think you saw at my party, I added a jabeo at the other end to add more random movement. I am really enjoying my 525xl and you will...

    Vodka or Vinegar Dosing

    Dosing either in my experience is hit or miss. One of my tanks had no issues, but one of my other ones, I had 3 at the time, had a cyno/ brown algae breakout. I have used both vodka and vinegar and they will lower your no3. My advise if you can lower any other way try that first. If not start...

    Kensington Reef, sorry you couldn't come. Maybe next time. You have a good memory. The coral did very well until in my stupidity Iet it get too close to a torch coral, and what can I say, it was killed. I can only say I learned a listen. Dick Flanagan

    Sorry I hit the wrong key. Both my wife and I both almost immediately said maybe we should do this every year. To this end I would like to know if this is someone you the members would support, and please add anything that you think would improve the event. Again thank you!

    Magnetic Stirrer for Water Testing

    After seeing the above video on reef2reef a few weeks ago, some members mentioned seeing a couple like the one in the video. I was then able to find 2. One is made by mfg. I think in Colorado with a price of 49.00' the other I found on amazon and it was about 25.00. I'm giving it some thought...

    Kessil Support is Awesome

    Kessil does have good support. I recently purchased 2 ap700's, and the rep. talked me right thru the setting up process. They also sent me a replacement for a 350n a ways back without any hassle. Dick F

    Red Sea Reefer 450 Build

    Very nice set up. I bought a fed sea reefer 525xl in April. Come to my event and organize my electrical and sump. For water movement I'm using a 150 gyre and a jabeo. Once you get it cycled and stocked I think you'll really enjoy it. Dick F

    Rygh's 250 gallon - rev.2

    Not sure not sure if you can make to my event 7-23-16, but if you do you can see some gyre pumps I'm running with some jabeo's. Plenty of flow and evenly disbursed. I didn't know you had a clash, but I'm glad your not giving up. Dick Flanagan

    Has anyone successfully dealt with ....

    I haven't had it but some research indicated to use the furan-2 and dip separately three times and then wait to see what the results. At the same time increasing the tanks flow seems to help. Seems like it's curable but is a pain.
