I'd recalibrate your apex PH probe to make sure those numbers are correct. Maybe even buy a cheap PH pen to double check against.

I'm assuming they're using the method (or something similar) that people figured out using Red Sea's nitrate reagents and Hanna's ULR Phosphate Checker. Using that method, the ULR Phosphate checker won't read correctly if your nitrates are over 10. Guessing that will be the range with the new...

FYI I just moved a 210g tank with 3 people, no way it weighed 600 lbs. Your location will help to see if there are any helpers close by.

Those look perfect, nice to have the speed control to make sure there not too loud also. You can order extra brackets from aquatic life (or brs) for your fixture to mount them.

Great idea! I was actually thinking about trying to mount a camera on the same hybrid fixture. Thought it would look cool when I'm traveling.

I have been using this method to check nitrates for the last few months, seems to work as advertised. Side note, I have tested substituting the "fresh salt water" with RODI water and the measurement comes out the same for me. Just FYI for those who don't have extra fresh salt water sitting...

Just saw this on Amazon, looks like its been out for about a year but I haven't heard of any reefers using it. Seems like a great affordable option for those who don't want to buy an Apex. What do you think...

I've used NeoNItro a few times when my nitrates dropped, does what it says it does

Available on BRS right now, HURRY!!!

Sigh, just finished the last episode yesterday. Looking for other podcasts like this but haven't found any yet. Also, here is a link to Rich's R2R tank thread, very interesting to see his feeding regiment. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/rich-ross-home-tank-guess-the-phosphate.296635/page-15

BTW, just in case Rich or Terrance see this, I'll buy the 1st piece of "Donkey Punch" Euphyllia. Keep it up, loving the pod!!!

Hey all, not sure if the rest of you are also in search of good content during this quarantine. I just found the podcast "Skimmate" by Rich and Terrance (both BAR members) and have been binge listening to all the episodes. Got to say, very entertaining and pretty educational as well...

Thanks all, I'm not too worried about common pests since I already have them in my tank (i.e. aptasia, bristle worms, vermettid snails, etc.).

Can anyone who is around Oakland spare a handful or 2 of Chaeto. I'm fighting a hair algae outbreak and hoping starting a fuge will help out compete it. Thanks

New contest... Who can get a picture of the biggest bristle worm in their tank?

I'll buy the 1st split for $100-$150 if it is and stays that red

I'd just buy a cheap small pump and use it only for the UV, separate from your return pump/manifold.

I actually prefer having 2. I'm able to rotate changing bulbs so that one of the bulbs is always on the 1st half of it's life.

Ooh, Anecdotal evidence, my favorite kind. I would bet there is no way for a hobbyist to accurately measure the effectiveness.

I run 2 coralife Turbo-twist 12x's in a row, figure it increases exposure time. I definitely noticed a difference when I hooked them up to the new system.
