    Black Friday reefing deals/purchases?

    I’m debating on adding some AI Blades to my Sky’s and I need a new gyre pump; my Red Sea is having controller issues so might get the AI version since I have a bunch of Vortech and Versa’s in play (simplify my apps). Stock up on ESV and salt.

    What do you use to clean your sumps (and pipes)?

    I also use the buckethead, made quick work of ~6 years of detritus build up in my sump.

    Thoughts on ceramic media?

    it is old crushed coral yes, maybe the pieces are a little bigger. Reborn specifically is TLF Calcium RX media; reefers have just taken to using it for substrate and such since won't move nearly as much as sand when you crank up the flow and corals can grow on it. Comes in clean and ready to go...

    Thoughts on ceramic media?

    i have used and currently do use Marine Pure and Brightwells Xport Brick. My Marine Pure block is about 6 years old and zero crumbling. I actually pulled it from the sump this past Saturday to clean the detritus buildup that was in there. Rinsed it and put it back in; even after handling it...

    Kalk containers

    yeah, i think my captiv8 bag has lasted nearly a year. I keep in a sealed container similar to what you would keep flour or sugar in.

    Kalk containers

    I think part of that response from Avast, is because there are different qualities of kalk powder. I have used Brightwells and Captiv8. When i add more kalk every couple of weeks, i don't dump whats in the stirrer. That is a separate task which i do every 6-8weeks or so. With the reactor...

    Kalk containers

    I do the exact same as Jonmedina. Versa pumps draw from ATO reservoir and drip in mostly at night. By viewing the PH trend of the DT i can see when the potency of the Kalk in the stirrer has decreased and i simply add more Kalk (~2 heaping spoonfulls) ; on average about every 2 weeks. I also...

    Do you miss any corals?

    I had a Colt coral way back in the day. Grew very large and fluffy; now i don't much see them around. on the Palmers Blue Milli front, that was definitely a coral i was missing until i managed to find a small frag of it i am trying to grow out now.

    Preferred skimmer for large tank?

    I'm a big fan of Lifereef skimmers (https://www.lifereef.com/venturi.html) - website is a disaster; but skimmer performs awesome. I've previously coming from Octo > ATB > Lifereef. Before that Tunze, EuroReef and others i can't remember. (once i find a good one i tend to ride it out for a long...

    What do you use to dose ALK, CA (& MG)

    While I do dose more KALK at night (KALK Stirrer), KALk does dose through out the day with AFR supplementing. Very slow drip at diff times a day using a Ecotech Versa. With the stirrer, I need to add couple tablespoons of KALK powder each week to keep max potency. My ALK peaks around 8.3ish...

    Looking to switch Salt

    I use Trop Marin Pro for this exact reason. I’ve use many salts over the years. ESV and 2LF also very good. ESV, just more work.
