When you see half the color changed, you get half the contact time with good resin. That is the reason I double up my resin that depletes the fastest, so I am always backed up by a full cartridge of good resin.

How big a system is it? There are a number of reefers who dose as a primary method, myself included. I always looked at the root cause of why are you changing the water? Then fix that problem. I would encourage you to do it, but be smart. Go slowly, and have a solution for each problem, and...

Used to use red sea ABCD with great sucess. Moved to the Balling method and like that more theoretically, but my tank is still too new to see real results. My ICP did come back good using this method of minimal to no water changes and dose only. Need to is a strong word. With Balling and...

I disagree strongly, now I want to debate you!

Depending on your system size, I have different recommendations. Over 100 gallons and if you dose everything, then I would stick with IO and rely on your dosing for the stuff you want in the salt mix. Smaller tank, relying on salt mix, then it matters a little more, but not that much imo...

No personal experience, only anecdotes that agree with KR.

Crested geckos are great! I bred them for a number of years sucessfully before getting into fish. Awesome pets!

A sturdy 3rd step is important if the top of your tank is at 6'6" So I added a taller one. These are my two, I love the left one for everything except when I need the right one.

diffusiophoresis There is an SAT word for you, not to be mistaken for Brownian motion

Bigger is easier...once it is in place. Think about where you want the tank to be and how big you want it, then wait for that system. Another month or so of patience on the used forum might yield some surprising results in terms of gallons of the system per dollar. There are often steals of...

Looks like bryopsis to me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryopsis Pull it out with your hand

What are you feeding your guests so that they are ruining your indoor air quality?

7, or something. It depends on your water in a bit and what you want to delete first.

We use BAR ;) I also am old and crotchety and don't use "insta", but there are lots of great pics on BAR

2x a day can be 4x a day, feed more often is my take away. I have gotten phosphates up to .8-.9 with no real isues, and nitrates over 90 but don't do that. I like to keep phosphates around .3 and nitrates around 30. I have a post on my old 168 journal that goes into what I fed then. Keep...

If anyone was curious what the right answers are, here is what I do ;) A lot of these I got from BRS's video a few years back and agree with their findings. Nitrate: Nyos Phosphate: Hanna high range Calcium: Trident/Red Sea for manual Alk: Trident/Hanna for manual Mag: Trident/ Salifert or...

Air, like all fluids, likes and inlet and an outlet on opposite ends of your box to maximize your flow in the box, and needs something to drive the flow. Cold air is more dense than warm air and easier for the fan blades to grab, so think about an inlet vs an outlet fan, (unless there is some...
