That's assuming that the cars go on each road and don't take a detour and promise to immediately make a u-turn and go back through one of the two roads before going somewhere else on one of the non-designated roads....

Not the same at all. Running in serial essentially makes the two UV units one UV unit with near constant exposure to UV through both UV units. Cycling water through one UV and then through the entire tank in hopes it will go through the UV again is not the same and would not count toward dwell...

I think for turnover rate of water. Unless you planned the plumbing in different input and outputs, there would be some amount using already UV sterilized water if running in parallel. It could be minimal and not be a factor. Plus in parallel would complicate things in terms of plumbing or an...

Initial thoughts: think I would run in series around 600 GPH. Based on getting 2x turnover and these posts about ich and exposure. Post in thread 'Tank Journal - No Tank' https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/tank-journal-no-tank.23973/post-351214 Post in thread 'Tank Journal - No Tank'...

1g of KCl will add roughly 1ppm of Potassium per 265 gallons. So for my 150 gallon tank which is probably around 160 gallons, that was around 0.6g per 1 ppm of Potassium. So I put in around 18g over a period of a couple days.

150 Gallon Tank (Day 123) My kryptonite, maybe almost everyone's? I've tried to keep speciosa alive a number of times, but that just always ended up in pure dead sadness. So, giving it yet another shot. It has a lot of coloring up to do and is supposed eventually show shades of pink and...

Consider propane. Propane provides less power in the same size unit as gas, but gas requires adding stabilizers to the fuel or cycling through the gas before it goes "bad." Propane storage requires no maintenance.

Dunno how it happened, but a number of tentacles have twisted themselves and created a spiral color of gold on some of the tentacles. It started a while ago with just one, but the number of them are growing.

Finally shutting down your 72 nano tanks and consolidating to two or three 300 gallon tanks.

Livermore at Coast Fire Equipment. "We do fill C02 cylinders, cost of a 5# $31 and 10# $39 plus tax." That sounds ridiculously cheap. Even cheaper than I was paying 5 years ago. Are you sure they weren't smoking some of their plants when they charged you?

This is the way. From the picture of your foam, it looks like your water line in the neck is probably too high not allowing for larger bubbles to form. Lots of small bubbles = wet skim. Also, keep in mind that a super clean neck will hamper larger bubble formation. A little biofilm is better...

It did seem to kill a good amount of it, but didn't kill it off forever as it did come back. I may have benefitted from an extra cycle of treatment. Not sure why I didn't do it. Others have seen it go away.

A number of people, myself included, have used 4x (or more) the dosage for bryopsis to attack bubble algae without ill effects.

Many have done comparisons between all the ICP companies and not surprisingly, results are usually different amongst all the various companies. Here's one such example: https://reefbuilders.com/2023/07/12/the-reef-builders-big-icp-test-review-by-sanjay-joshi/ If you're going to rely on ICP for...

I haven't acclimated a coral in years. No drip acclimation, no light acclimation. All coral goes straight into a QT tank after a dip in Melafix and potassium chloride for at least a week (if not more) and gets around 150-200 par, then after some magic in QT it just goes through another Melafix...

150 Gallon Tank (Day 106) Some eye candy for you all. June 28, 2025 - POTO Flamethrower. Growing, but seems to have lost a little bit of color. May 28, 2025 Jun 28, 2025 - RRC Rainbow Splice continues to encrust after moving it onto a rock from the frag plug. June 1, 2025 June 28, 2025...

If anyone is curious about my tank parameters, I just sent some in on Sat to Triton for most of my tanks. I usually don't send in samples very often. I usually just dip my finger in the tank and hold it up to the wind. ;) 150 Gallon Tank https://www.triton-lab.de/en/showroom/icp-oes/246489...
