36" tall is great! You'll love it, and the fish will too.

Get a pint of rubble from an old tank. Then feed small particles to your system and problem solved.

You know there is a like button, right? You don't have to comment "this" every time you agree with something. Whoops, not on reddit. But yeah, this. Eff those polyps. They are why my mom needs to restart her tank and she didn't even put them in intentionally. They are worse than any...

You likely got the branching gsp instead of the matting one. I think there are about 7 kinds out there.

Not a bad idea, I will look into this too. So long as you are testing once a day, it should keep the lines wet. And if John is doing it, it works.

That's funny, because I have the opposite problem. I have an extra mixture to make a gallon of A because I am lower on my B/C reagents. Stock testing schedule. I can send you my mixture if you don't find one local.

I asked last time too...

I dose 6 things in my big tank. 1: Vodka for nitrates 2: LaCl for phosphates 3: Soda ash for alk, with one Balling trace added. 4: Calcium chloride for calcium with the other bottle of Balling trace elements. 5: BRS magnesium mixture 6: Salt free salt from Balling You won't go through the...

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...
