    Lighting Chart

    I know I'm oversimplifying a bit, but have any of you come across a chart that shows coral species' preferred lighting conditions; predominantly, for SPS? Hi par, medium par, etc. etc.

    It's helped a little, but never comes close to 8.2. I'm undecided whether I'll keep it going or just use the reactor for carbon dosing.

    Tank Update! I added a BRS CO2 scrubber today. My PH has been hovering around 7.8-7.9 and it sits next to an internal wall, so no chance of fresh air. The PH is coming up a little now, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I'd like to get up to 8.2-8.3. I tee'd a motor actuated...

    Update: The tank's been running for about a week now. Been phantom feeding everyday and also added a bottle of Dr. Tim's. I cannot get a non-zero ammonia reading. Nitrite and Nitrate also very low, so I added a pair of clowns and couple softy frags yesterday. I freshwater dipped the clowns and...

    120 Gallon Rimless in Lake Jackson

    Are you keeping data on your cycle testing? Interested to see what your numbers were over the first couple weeks, since I just started up 3 days ago.

    I had the first neptune controller version also. Got the job done. I like that the new one has the conductivity probe. Nice clean set you've got. As for the siphon issue, the fitting that came with the Neptune ATK seems to have done the trick. Maybe you can find something similar on the...

    Went back and RTFM and the ATK came with a siphon breaker. All good now. :crazy: Anyways... the apex is now on the move again. Should be delivered tomorrow.

    Set up the ATK today. I think i have a siphon from the topoff container to the sump. The pump kicks on at the lower sensor, and I think it's shutting off when it's supposed to, but a while later the alarm on the FMM module trips and I noticed that the water level in the sump ends up being too...

    Got a lot done today! Pretty happy with the tank and stand so far. The overflow kit came with Maggie Mufflers, so it's pretty quiet. Had to run to the LFS for more sand and a return pump. I have everything but the actual APEX controller and power bar and the COR15 has to be hooked up to the...

    So the spigot is stainless. I think it'll be okay, but I'll keep an eye on it and do an ICP test every so often. I remember having a hard time turning ball valves in the past after running for a while. Did your leak happen in the valve body? I'm only planning to use the tank while I'm doing...

    Got the water change/mixing tank set up and tested. Pan World 30PX pump from BRS Plumbing includes 3/4" fittings for pump suction with ball valves to select either garden hose connection for transfer from the RO/DI topoff tank or internal recirculation within the mixing tank. Discharge is...
