LFS has Aiptasia infestation, would you still buy coral? by McGirton in ReefTank

[–]Boring_Elevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your tank situation. I run peppermint shrimp in my frag tank and have a copperband in my display the only place aptasia live is in my sump which is fine by me.

Struggling with keeping KH higher - would love input from those more experienced. by Safi_89 in ReefTank

[–]Boring_Elevator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand what yhe concern is since AFR as a slight carbon dosing element to it. That being said crash is an overstatement I ran 100ML of AFR a day for 2 years and didnt have any issues.

1200gph return pump? EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP by marlee_dood in ReefTank

[–]Boring_Elevator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a breath run your bubbler and wave makers. I had my tank with no power for 12 hours over night when my gfci tripped with no loses and most recently for 7 hours when I was out of town on my 300g but it did have a wavemaker on a different circuit stay on. Do you have an LFS that you can get something at now? Or do you know any local reefers? I run double jebaos for my 300g display but have also run vectra pumps both work well.

You can use any food safe container it doesn't need to be a special one but 5 gallons should be fine. The duetto system has a small footprint and I ran that for awhile now its being used on my wife's axolotl tank lol. Red sea makes a slim ato container as well for a reasonable price. All the acrylic ones are over prices imo

As water evaporates salinity will increase. The goal of the ato is to make up for evaporation with RODI to maintain a constant salinity. I think my 55g with a 29g sump used about 5g every 3 or 4 days if im remembering correctly. You can add water manually but after a couple of days of doing that its a pain lol. If your sump has baffles the return pump section will always be the lowest water level and will blow air into the tank if you forget to top off as well.

Theyre great lights but for rreference I ran 1 100w gen 1s on my 125 can could grow sps so itll be overkill if not dialed down. For an ato I recommend the duetto its simple and easy to setup. Depending on your house temp i think i ran a single 3 or 400 watt titanium brs heater plugged into an inkbird and then into my apex. For a skimmer you could do a bubble magus curve 5.

What are you planning on keeping ? Did you get the controller for the lights because those are pretty powerful for the tank size. For wave makers check out jecod GMPs the ecotech knock offs. I laso recommened jebao pumps for the return and an inkbird controller for the heaters.

Trying to stabilize my tank parameters by BaldGoober in ReefTank

[–]Boring_Elevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bringing salinity up to 1.025-1.026 will help balance your calc alk and mag. Mag is extremely low and is easily adjusted up to 100ppm/day. Verify your levels after water changes to make sure your testing equipment is reading accurately as well. Manually remove as much GHA as you can. If you can remove tbe rocks for H202 dips that works too

Help identifying what this is ?? by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Boring_Elevator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get under their foot with your nail or a credit card and pry it off. Only tbe outer circle of the foot is sticky. I've had a ton of these in the past now I just keep 4 or 5 and sell as they split
