2nd membrane is the way to go. Huge difference in water production and waste.

I've been wanting to do this to one of my pumps. Thanks for the details.

I've been using the Radium bulbs on my Hamilton M80 ballast and want to know what other bulbs I can use. I want to go with either a 14k or 10k bulb SE 250W.

Hello Sirreal. I hope you dont mind me asking but I know u are very knowledgeable with MH lighting. I have an m80 ballast and was wanting to switch from the radiums to a Hamilton 14 or 10K is there any bulb that you would recommend for the M80 ballast. I can't find much info on bulbs that I can...

Yeah new beginnings. I've done 2 30gallon water changes and water is still cloudy. I am going to set up a small temporary tank to transfer my coral to and then drain my tank and replace all water. My ph is down to 7.4 right now. Going to have to start over.

Today has not been a good day. I lost a bunch of fish. it started with me setting up my vodka dosing pump. i double checked to make sure the dosing program was right for my apex and tested it out to make sure it worked. the problem was when it kicked on in auto it didn't shutoff until i...

Do you have T5 supplements? I am considering 10k for growth also and using 4 blue+ so it won't look too yellow.

I've looked everywhere for the XM 10K with no luck. I think I am going to try the Hamilton 10K or 14K in about a month. I will post my results then.

Going to be getting a apex autofeeder soon. Need it for my anthias and chromis

Top installed. Tomorrow I will finish the molding and trim. I really like how the top came out. Just the right size overhang.

I got an LET T5 retrofit kit for xmas about two weeks ago.

The firefish are gone now. I haven't lost any chromis yet, we'll see how long they last. Acclimation box sounds like a good idea. I will have to look into one.

Thanks. I really like the open space with the36" width

Well I finally started working on skinning my stand. I still have a long way to go but here are some pictures of my progress so far.

I lost a few corals and some have burned tips. From my research on RC it seems as though my problem is low nutrients and high DKH of 9.5. A low nutrient tank should have a DKH of around 7-8. I reduced my DKH to 8 and am finally starting to see new growth on my sps. I still have allot to learn...
