replacement impellers: (nope they sure are not cheap) http://vaquatics.net/products/jebao-dc-pump-replacement-impeller skimmer pump conversion anyone? http://dluphoto.synology.me/impeller/

very possible, I always did have die off at the bases but that's nothing new it's business as usual. It may have been a springboard for something else but what that something else is now is the question haha.... I spent the whole weekend working around the tank, I did get a water change in...

it's already gone beyond the shadowed parts...

PMing you my number, give me a call/text when you figure out time, etc. Thanks :D

sweet, Geneva's somewhere by Hayward right? I only want to do one test if it works I'll buy the same model :)

Hey Mike, awesome of you to offer... aren't you in SF though?

I think it's aliens I guess I'll give water changes one more shot, I'll dig out some of my old powerheads and spare buckets. I'll shoot for several consecutive water changes & see what happens... Still I need a way to measure phosphates, I suppose I could give Elos a try.

I've been doing weekly water changes ever since, water changer are not a solution for me in the long run because I simply can't get that many done as often as I need to (I've tried). So I either figure it out or leave the SPS world all together lol

to tell you the truth, if it was me I'd just buy new sand... the amount of time/energy/water going into reviving old sand simply isn't worth it.

A. take old sand & a home depot bucket B. pour sand into home depot bucket & fill half way C. take bucket outside & stick hose in it, run water so that sand tumbles but does not overflow out of bucket, let water run till it runs clear D. fill bucket with RO water and let sit for a little while...

oooh a giveaway, welp I like Pectinia Corals :)

I'm really getting frustrated now, I accidentally came to the realization that I had an explosion of growth prior to this STN, haha I know that sounds odd "how do you not notice growth" but it wasn't till I was posting a pic of my tank on another post did I realize that the corals which are...

Yes that's exactly where they will have it, pickling season is right around the corner so I would keep an eye on that isle. This is the exact item you want, it's a 1lb bag;

Almost forgot, I dose kalkwasser once an hour every hour while lights are off, I distribute the total daily volume evenly over total number of dosing events.

Vincent is right, I am dosing kalk via dosing pump. There is nothing wrong with putting kalkwasser in ATO and I can not negate Vincent's method but I would strongly advise against using 100% supersaturate kalkwasser as top off, why? the simplest answer I can give is you have no control and the...

Roberto I recommend you exhaust kalkwasser before trying to supplement it. I will share with you what I have found to work the best with minimal undisolved kalk; I mix batches of 5 gallons but my dosing container is only 1 gal which I refill whenever it runs out. This way in case my doser goes...

are you doing 2 or 3 spoons of lime? I've seen your tank it's not heavily stocked so I'm surprised kalkwasser isn't maintaining parameters for you... And I ask because: Vinegar And Limewater To Boost Limewater Potency Another potentially useful attribute of vinegar is that it can be used to...

Roberto, how much are you dosing and what concentration of lime? Everything I'm currently dosing: -Kalk solution (Vinegar included) -Magnesium -Vodka That's it, for 3 years I only dosed kalkwasser & vinegar, Magnesium was just added a month ago (vodka's irrelevant to this topic).

oh wow, just realized I have not looked at this photo in a while (it's about 3-4 months old), so umm basically most of the corals in the top half of the tank are nearly double the size you see int hat photo.

I use Kalk (Mrs. Wages pickling lime) and in a mixed 50g tank I'm doing 1 liter a day (roughly) The formula is 50ml vinegar + 3 spoons kalk + 1 gal RO water. Locked in at 8.3-8.4 PH 9 dkh alkalinity 450 calcium The alk & calcium are balanced and super stable, I imagine it would take a...
