Have a purple plus although I have a 8 bulb unit. I like it. It’s a nice day light bulb with a pink hue. I may add another honestly, I like a little more pink/red in the tank than the winded look.

I have a 20g plumbed into sump but the gravity feed is terribly slow like maybe 50gph. The original idea was for a fuge. This worked ok. Although slowly just became a detritus trap. I struggled to find an appropriate sized power head to work well. So I attempted to convert it into a frag tank...
Get home from work, check out the tank, and just think "Why aren't my SPS growing, they need to grow faster!" Good thing I still have a mixed reef. Been staring in awe at one of the japanese tank threads on R2R and couldn't imagine waiting on all that to grow out. Props to the SPS guys in here...
Just one of those random reminders that I have read thousands of times. I thought to myself, eh "these guys have nicer tanks than I do, whats the harm?"
I like most developed a true passion with LPS, many get into zoanthids or acans and really excel in whatever their interest is. My path was...
I seem to have a lot of these although none in the display. They are the planaria type (red). Is there any benefit to having these? There are literally probably thousands in a 20 gallon.
Thinking maybe I should clean it out.

Lets see what the community is into? :)
Is anyone running Carbon dosing only? Interested to see. I haven't used GFO or activated carbon in over 2 months since I switched to carbon dosing.
Known about LC to reduce phosphates for some time now, used the Phosfree brand from Leslies when I was curing my Pukani which dropped my levels to .03ppm when I setup the tank. Burning through GFO trying to keep my levels down thought about revisiting this, been reading the old threads on RC...
After a couple of people recommending that I go ahead and post this I will :)
Started the project back in June. Bought the tank stand and canopy off someone here on marsh. Wife wanted the stand and canopy to match the trim within the house. So I completely stripped the stain and began with a...
Looking for the white flex hose. I know HD has the reinforced vynal clear hose but it has a low bending radius and is clear which will build algae in the sump area.
Thinking I saw some at ace? Possibly lowes?
Thanks

Looking at these on BRS blockbuster sales. Not overly convinced I should upgrade but willing to take some advice.
Current setup is a 125g with roughly an additional 30-40g of sump and fuge space. Tank has been up 6 weeks. Bio load consists of a scopas tang, blue tang, magnificent foxface...
Recently installed a booster pump on my RODI system. Wanted some feedback. I installed it AFTER my carbon filter in between the membrane. I also put the pressure gauge T'd off the booster pump output. I assume this is the correct setup. But when I turn my pump on the pressure gauge jumps all...
Still readily available, true 420 color, and relatively inexpensive to get into...long term cost replacement yes, some heat associated but that color pop is it just not worth it?
Lets hear your thoughts!
Got my 125g wet last night. Is there a way that you can stop a leaking joint after it has been glued? I have a couple of joints on my return side that are leaking at the elbows. Should I attempt to just slap some more glue on the outside? I realize that even the slow "drips" will eventually stop...
Looking at getting some pukani for a new build. Anyone have experience with curing this? RC people have been using seaklear and other LC products is this even needed? Best practice? Would bleach/acid wash be better or in combo? Looking for the quickest way to get this started without waiting for...
Has anyone done this? I have a closet behind my tank that I would like to relocate ballasts and my apex to. From what I have researched this violates the code (running power through walls). Surely some of you have done something like this? Open to solutions...I do want to be as safe as possible...
Getting ready to plumb a 125 build looking for the best way to plumb a manifold off the return line. So far I have seen a couple of variations:
A) Branch off the return with several valves off that line.
B) Individual T's off the return line BEFORE the split (dual overflow)
C) Individual T's...
Embarking on a new build (thread later) but still very much in the early planning phase. Looking for long term (1-2 year +) zeovit users that can comment on their journey.
If anyone can comment on the following that would be helpful to my decision/planning:
Mixed tank-SPS dominant: Do you...
First pic (green) was roughly after 3 weeks. Second pic (brown) is today.
Is this typical for it to be green then brown? I have more brown algae in the display, not sure what it is but clings to the glass and overflow. Looks like Cobb webs if that makes any sense. Made a mess of my tank at one...
