      What do you think of a CO2 scrubber on a 25 gallon lagoon? my PH is about 7.8ish do you think it’s worth it. Have a great week Mr Tom 🐠 🪸

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  7 місяців тому +1

      Hey Wand, you know me, I’m all about less is more. 7.8 is not bad. Try a few of the things I mentioned in my vid on ph. How does your tank look? 😊👍🏻

    • @WandWizardLLC
      @WandWizardLLC 7 місяців тому

      It looks good. I don’t have a lot of coral packed in it but the stuff that I do get the little fags I dip them put them in there and then they seem to not do good. I’ve checked my par I do 5 gallon water changes every week.

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  7 місяців тому +1

      Well, if it looks good that’s key. You know, sometimes corals take a long time to adjust, especially after dipping, and then putting them in the tank. 👍🏻 hang in there

    Old day feel with new pep. Would like this video twice if I could Tom. Any tips for dosing kalk beside putting in ato. I rigged up a water bottle with a needle valve and drip every night but that's becoming a pain.

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  7 місяців тому

      Hi Brandon, is space an issue for not wanting to use an ato? It’s really the easiest way other then using a 2 part set up dosing Calc and Alk. Maybe using one dosing pump to drip
      It? But you would still need a container to hold the water, and kalkwasser in it. And it would have to run quite a lot🤔

      @@TOMReefer I've got multiple tanks i want to use it on. One does not have an ato so top off manually every day. Other two tanks have an ato but i've heard putting kalk in your ato can ruin the pump. Never had it happen personally but have talked to people that have had it happen

      I’ve been using these little DIGITEN pumps for years now, never had one get stuck with Kalk. I’m not a fan of stirring the kalkwasser up in an ATO, or any needle things. that’s why the pumps go bad. When you stir the kalkwasser up and let it settle, you won’t have a pump problem. 👍🏻😊
