I just purchased the Turbo-Twist 3X UV Sterilizer, it's the 36 watt unit and rated for up to a 500 gallon tank. My tank is only 72 gallons. Coralife, recommends 400-1200 gallons per hour. On the box it says: "The flow rate needs to be low enough to provide the appropriate exposure...

Well, I finally got it connected last night, it took the whole night, since I went down to the hardware store to pick up all the supplies I was going to use. In the end it turned out, that I didn't need the ball valve for my return and I ended up usng my Mag 7 to drive my sterilizer. I...

I saw them at Home Depot. They are only like 4 dollars and come in all sizes. Mike

Jesse, I have only one overflow, and I just got off the phone with Marine Depot, they say for every 1 inch drain you get about 1000 gph. Remember I have a Mag 1200 as my return pump going to my chiller up to my tank. So I think I'm at my max... I need a ball valve or do a close...

Yeah, I fogged heavily 4 months ago for Spiders, I had to rap tight my entire tank with glad trash bags, everywhere. I also have glass lids on both my sump and tank so that helped out a 10 fold. Spiders were dead and tank was perfect.... I was real nervous at first but it all worked...

Thanks Eddy, I just got back from my LFS and my new weapon, the Turbo-Test 12x 36 watt UV Sterilzer. I'm doing a closed loop on it with my Mag 700 that is rated at 700 GPH. My unit calls for GPH to be between 400-1200. With headpressure I should be around 500 to 600 perfect to kill...

Andre, Thanks for the heads up on my fish. Yeah you are right that my bioload is high and had I stopped and never added the Powder blue tang I would never have started this epidemic. It's really really bad, every night when the lights go off the ich freakin attack my fish, I want to reach...

How about some Red Slime Remover by Ultra life? MG

Well Reefers, After some long thought I've decided to invest in the 34 watt UV sterilizer by Coralife. Even though I only have 72 gallon reef it's better to be way above in UV watts than just at standard. I've spent at least $100 dollars in meds and it didn't erradicate my ich to my...

Wow, What a set of blues, dude you scored... Jennie, having to part with those must of been hard, I love blue zoos, over here in the bay area they are rare and too expensive to pick up.... You are lucky jesse....

Ed, The milwaukee SMS 122 is a great purchase and is extremely reliable in my opinion. Plus is a fraction of the cost of the pinpoints. MG

Once I go down to LA next week it will be time to help dragon spend some of that nice tax return money. hehehe I'd love to get the RK2 but the RK1 for my purpose is working great, I figured out the reseting issue, works like a charm once again. I have already a PH controller so the RK2...

Okay, I'm jealous, I want your RK2. Dragon, don't you remember I ran two of them in both my nano cubes. Hey since I fly down next week, how about I bring you my RK1 you give me 100 bucks, they are 219 brand new. I still have the box like mint, you know I keep all my goodies nice...

Jordan, Go to www.algone.com and get your free trial pack.... And you don't need a sump for them to work, you can place them in your main tank, just use a veggie clip.... MG

Update, My ORP did stop at 302 mv and then started it's climb back up, it's at 377 mv. As for my coco worm, he's out and well extended this morning. I believe it was the sudden water change at 50 percent that stressed him. About the ALGONE, reefers for the price of these little bags they...

I joined the bandwagon today. My nitrates have been killing my corals, I have a 72 gallon reef with mixed corals and high bioload of fish. Since the last three months I haven't been able to bring down my nitrates past 10 ppm. They have gotten as high as 25 ppm and I've lost acros. I also...

Thanks, I actually have read up on that article and it makes sense, yet where I'm at, it probably will not work. I need my lights on today for my corals as they have taken a hit with the high nitrates. I'm going to the LFS to do the water changes, and purchase my AZ N03 to start the...

Well, It's Friday and tommorrow morning, I'll start the decrease in water temp and start the water changes, I'm going to do 20 gallons. What I have noticed is that during the night when the lights go off, the ich really seems to make some of my fish go crazy; my powder blue will dart...

I heard that they do well only around barnacles, so if you have pier or a whale they will do great, since barnacles grow like crazy once on a whale or pier. Okay now that I have your attention; I"m just playing... They are pretty though.... MG

ROOonmac, You are the first to ask about my blue carpet. I'm sad to say he passed away weeks ago... I rushed into an impulsive purchase and didn't read up first on carpet anemones. I listened to my LFS and he gave me wrong directions and I got lost.... I have a very bad nitrate...
