    Ok. Not sure if this is true but was told not to recirculate because yes it does remove the co2 but it does not add oxygen. Basically you are not getting fresh oxygen from the air as your tank is consuming it and you are just recirculating stale air. Kind of makes sense. ?

    It looks nice! You really put hard work into it.. the idea is great.. to save a lot of money… BUT, in my humble opinion, I wouldn’t buy it.. we want to make reef hobby easier, less maintenance, filter socks is already annoying changing socks every two days, but just throw in the washer and that’s it.. this one looks like changing also every two days, but more maintenance to change the sheet.. I’d rather stick to the sock. Maybe if you try an easier way, would work better! But nice job! Just need more work into it! 👍👍 keep working on it… you’ll find the way!!

    Brother you need more flow for your sticks. The way the polys are flowing is a clear indication of not enough flow. Also put one MP-40 opposite side of tank place one on the side lower part of your tank behind the rocks , and put another on the opposite side of the tank place that one higher. This will keep detritus from forming on the bottom and create a vortex. Crank the MP-40’s up these corals can handle a lot of flow including the Goni’s they will adjust. And also put your temp at 77 degrees (slowly micro adjustments over a long period of time) you’ll have a way cleaner tank in terms of parasites and algae. Remember bad stuff incubates in higher temp.I have dove in many reefs around the world,and the amount of flow, and current these , and corals grow in is insane. I have been in the reefing hobby for over 15 years take my advice for what it is. Also look into the REEFER MOONSHINERS METHOD.

    I don't think you mentioned your magnesium levels. The below is taken from Randy Holmes-Farley's article, "A Simplified Guide to the Relationship Between Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium and pH". "The extent to which magnesium gets onto calcium carbonate surfaces depends strongly on the amount of magnesium in solution. The more there is, the more it gets onto the surfaces. If magnesium is lower than normal, then it may not adequately get onto growing calcium carbonate surfaces, allowing the deposition of calcium carbonate to proceed faster than it otherwise would, potentially leading to increased abiotic precipitation of calcium carbonate from seawater onto objects such as heaters and pumps. Often the inability to maintain adequate calcium and alkalinity despite extensive supplementation, and the precipitation of significant amounts of calcium carbonate on heaters and pumps, are signs that the water has inadequate magnesium." reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-06/rhf/index.php

    this is great advice, the problem with bacteria in a bottle is there there are only a handful of strains of bacteria (maybe 3), but a mature tank will have hundreds of strains of bacteria. the biodiversity is where you want to land. I have seen and used a bacterial and carbon dosing regimen from Cruz of Elegant Corals who did a podcast on ReefDudes and anecdotally it works but macrophage bacteria will turn the pest bloom into jelly and sludge and now you got a jelly and sludge export problem on your hands that you need to deal with ASAP. So overall this is great advice just to be patient and let the tank mature via microbial succession which is a very slow process (tens of weeks unfortunately)

      Then the only other 2 culprits I can think of is the form of calcium additive or moisture recycling thru your scrubber. It's best to use a container as a moisturizer separator on recirculating setups that way it doesn't carry a concentrated solution back into the tank. Also check your pipes and pump, I believe Chris Meckley had a similar situation years ago with a specific calcium additive. But it's probably been 10+ years since I remember hearing about it.

    First, you need some CO2. Yes you will have problems if you strip essentially all of it out. Second, you shouldn’t be chasing numbers! (Should be #1) I have my sps tank in the basement and just by pulling skimmer air from outside I can maintain a ph of 8.3 to a low of 8.2 at night. My tank is over 8 years old. All I do is regular water changes and pull air from outside. Before pulling air from outside my ph was 7.9 - 7.8

  • @Leeviathon
