    New Setup - AGA 75 Gallon Pre-Drilled

    Mike, Eventually getting those chromis out of the tank can be NO EASY TASK, especially without causing some level of stress to the other tank mates, but some people have reported good results with fish traps. I have never tried this method myself, and I know for a fact that some of my fish...

    New Setup - AGA 75 Gallon Pre-Drilled

    Mike, Thanks so much for the comments and all the feedback. Your tank is looking better than ever and IMHO is an example of what a cleaned and well balanced environment should look like. After I installed the phosphate reactor I noticed I had just the perfect place for another one, so I...

    Nice, I think it's a good idea. You have top of the line equipment maintaining your reef for about six months now, and IMHO your tank is an example of what a cleaned and well balanced environment should be. By letting the controller stabilize and give you an accurate ORP reading, will give you...

    I have a feeling your ORP controller will continue to fluctuate for a couple more days, until the unit begins to stabilize and you can have a better idea what the ORP really is with more accuracy. I would wait about a week before adding ozone, to give your controller a chance to properly break in.

    New Setup - AGA 75 Gallon Pre-Drilled

    I've been running the phosphate reactor with 120ml of ROWAPHOS for about 10 days now, and gradually increased it's running time for over a week, until I felt comfortable running it constantly. Today I added a second reactor with 250ml of carbon to the filtration system. I have to say that...

    Starting A Tank

    I would say anywhere from 1 to 2lbs. p/ gallon, just make sure to choose very small pieces as you have a limited space for real estate, and large pieces will limit your possibilities for aquascaping.

    Starting A Tank

    I would definitely wait until your cycling period is over, as any type of inverts are very sensitive to ammonia and nitrites.

    Starting A Tank

    I agree with Sadie, It's a good idea to keep your lights off during the cycling period to avoid undesirable nuisance algae growth. You can leave it on while you are home looking at the tank, but other than that there is no need to keep them on for now.

    As usual top of the line equipment for a top of the line reefer. Good info about the ORP controller Mike. I had no idead that these units had to go through a break in period to stabalize.
