    Let’s see your controller panels

    Let’s see some pics of your power/controller boards and cabinets! Extra points if it’s in a Red Sea Reefer xxl 750! I need creative ideas for wire management and to mount mp40 controllers, pump controllers, ADJ-8 switch panels and Apex modules! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Testing

    I’m testing every night for cal, Alk, Mag on new tank to figure out how much to dose. I have a light bioload. While cal is going down, Alk is the same. But mag seems to be going up? Is this possible? I even ran the test 3 times with same results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BRS MAGNESIUM issue?

Both readings are the same (Red Sea test kits): Am .2 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Ph 8.4 Cal 450 Alk 7 Mag 1400 Sal 1.025 I’ll be testing daily to calculate consumption and...

    Tank move, need help!

    New tank should be delivered this week, hoping for tomorrow. Looking for a few people to help me move the tank Saturday afternoon from garage into the house on stand. It’s a Red Sea Reefer XXL 750. It’s heavy! If someone has a set of glass suction handles would be awesome! I’m in Brookshire...

    It’s getting there

    My tank is settling in. I’ve added a few frags and a piece of live rock I needed. My nitrates have come down to about 5-10ppm. I’m still in need of more frags! A coworker was pruning his tank and gave me a nice big piece of something that I can’t remember the name? I have it resting on the...

    I’m back again!

    I’m back again! I was mostly out for about 2 years. I was diagnosed with cancer about 2 years ago. After a long treatment I am now cancer free! During this time my tanks really suffered too. We also sold our house and moved from Katy to Brookshire. I had Ocean Life move the 160g as there was no...

    Tank heating issue

    By chance, does anyone have a Digital Aquatics iTemp probe for sale? Mine crapped out, getting “iTemp error”. I use Finnex titanium heaters without an internal temp setting, so I can’t use them without a controller. I’ll pay cash or trade for an AI Hydra flex mount? TIA Joe

    RKL itemp error

    I am getting the dredded itemp error on my RKL. Does anyone by chance have one I can borrow to troubleshoot? Or maybe someone has a spare they’d be willing to sell me? TIA Joe

    New setup, odor question

    I set up a brand new JBJ 28g LED intermediate Nanocube. I used RODI, Fritz pro salt and a 20 lbs bag of "live sand". I think it was Caribsea? It took forever for the "live sand" to settle and clear. In fact, moving the sand around and the tank still gets very cloudy. The problem is, the tank...

    Cyano

    I seem to have a case of cyano bacteria, is Ultra Life Red Slime Remover a good option? I am as confident as I can be that it's cyano. Red, goes away with lights out, comes back a few hours after lights back on. Trapped gas under the slime. I've already decreased nutrients, sucked out the...

    JBJ 28 LED for seahorses

    We currently have 2 seahorses in a Biocube 14 and they are doing great. Knowing the tank is too small, we have an opportunity to get a JBJ LED tank. I know the all in one tanks are not ideal but it's what I have room for, both physically and in my budget. Other tank/sump setups are just not an...

    Strange Icecap 660 problem

    I have an icecap 660 in a 2 lamp configuration that will fire up VHO T12's with out a problem. It will not fire up T5's though. One lamp lights for about a second (blue/orange), the other (yellow/red) never blinks. I know it's not the harness because I have 2 more of these running on my tank and...
