Matter of fact the only thing i used to add to the tank on a regular basis was the special blend and that done... after that was the B ionic daily until i stopped. In the past month..nothing.

[HondaB20B]

well i realy dont know why you have an algae bloom. you ever remove all that filter floss and stuff from inside your overflow boxes? you have any in the sump anywhere or any bio-balls? You ever get the pump for the RO/DI?

[sharkman121]

is that u wondering? i know exactly why i have an algae bloom!

1. New and improved Lights always bring along algae
2. Insufficient nutrient export (took long to start up my chaeto in the fuge)
3. lack of water changes
4. Definitly not enough circulation in tank..das why i was showing u the jbj pumps i was considering.
5. Using RO but not RODI water. filter in DI chamber dried out, needs to be changed.

i working on them doh worry

earl eat out de last set?

[sharkman121]

either he or the triggerfish. Earl passed on though due to a mishap.

wanna get rid of the triggerfish too cuz i really want a clean up crew.

[HondaB20B]

how much donations you want for him.
you never tell me if you got the pump for the RO/DI,
and you ever remove all that filter floss and stuff from inside your overflow boxes?

[sharkman121]

prolly trade him for a couple mushrooms or sumn.

yeh i removed the floss after we talk last time, dont wanna cause a flood.

I didnt get a pump for the rodi yet nah, so i usually full the 50 gal rodi cntr with water when the water pressure extremely high (water bussin d pipe). That way i know i gettin the best out of the rodi.
Only have to full that cntr bout once or twice a month and it lasts me.

However i gonna start water changes every week 10% so i gna use alot more water now than before.

[sharkman121]

Been doing my own investigation on a cpl reef forums enquiring about the best gfo media.

Its between ROWAphos,

PHOSBAN

OR BULK REEF SUPPLY high capacity phosphate remover

3.5 inches, but he have one eye since January after getting pop-eye.

[HondaB20B]

hmmm................. one eye jack?

[sharkman121]

Hearing alottt of good reviews about this product. Gonna give it a try to remove some of the cyano on my rocks and sand bed in the interim.

[HondaB20B]

raj have that selling a long time. cant remember the price though .......................... used it before in my 4ft a few times and it really works.
you put 1 drop per gallon and you run an airpump with an airstone. run that for 48hr and do a water change.

[sharkman121]

Oh ok thanks, well i go check raj first an see if he still have it.

[HondaB20B]

there isnt enough circulation in there either, was looking at this:
http://www.petstore.com/ps_ViewItem.asp ... ild=JB6333

other thing you have to look at if you gona run 3 koralias plus these two powerheads is the added heat you gonna get in the water. What temps u get now during the day and in the night. other thing is you have to be careful on your power outlets. these things use alot of watts........................ you better make sure your wiring and breakers good. Also start to run voltage regulators.

[sharkman121]

Wont the chiller circumvent any high temps put out by these extra circulators to regularize it to a standard temp of about 78-79 deg?

Yes, i really really need to see about the electrical with all these items i have now. Remember i was asking u wat u did electrical - wise to cope with it?

[HondaB20B]

all them thing coming from one breaker?
you should run those tings off voltage regulators.NOT A STRIP EH!!
a guy was by raj some mths ago and he bought d latest reef computer ($15G's). It only lasted 2 wks................ T&TEC had a spike and d computer was no more................

let me tell you what i did.....................
Brought 2 separate lines to the tank (separate breakers)
I wrote down every electrical item i want and put the rating in watts on the side.
Went and buy 2- 600W voltage regulators......(THANKS TO RORO)
Went tru the listing and divided up the items by wattage and by the time they remain on. (so like the 2 vortec pumps not on the same breaker, or the main pump and the protein skimmer. so in the event that one breaker trips, half the items still running)
If both breakers trip or current goes, the battery back-up has power to run the 2 vortec pumps for 15hrs and the air-pumps kick in.

yuh see why ahh say yuh dont read...................... sent you this info when you asked for it from page 100

Guys, I looking for an external water filter for my aquarium. I tired of the one that hangs outside. I want one that sits outside on the floor and the two hose fills and drains the water at the same time. Where can I get that and at what price? I keep seeing the name raj on the tread, does he sell these items?

[sharkman121]

Was by raj today, not sure if he has though. U can call him @ 7448768

I have a used one for sale i used to use before i built a sump. Its an Eheim 2215. Google it.
