Don't have experience with Red Sea setups so can't offer much there, although I'm sure someone on here might be able to help. I did find a post on another site with some troubleshooting tips for Red sea. Maybe it can help...

Less then 2 weeks now.

Been having a little flow problem in the mangrove tank for a while now. The mangrove has grown to a point that it blocks and interferes with the flow. So needed to add more pumps, although since I have a rule of "no cords in the water" , this means either ecotechs or an external pump. The price...

with a side of corals ;)

Ya I am debating whether to keep separate or re mix them after the recharge. Leaning toward keeping sperate because my water downtown is so high in silicates and the anions always deplete much faster then the cations. However that will mean that I need to add several more DI stages to my RO...

So I have been saving my spent DI resin for many years (should have done this ages ago but had been putting it off). Currently I have a 5g bucket of spent resin that is now full, so can't put it off any longer. Its time to recharge it I will be roughly following this procedure to do so...

Got the top main edge printed. Have some trials I settled on dovetails for most of the joints. The dovetails are by far the strongest joint yet and once glued up should make for a pretty solid structure Now on to the bottom layer, hatch, and then glue

If only you lived closer I'd defiantly go for a regular batch...

Fins Up Reef and Aquaculture are both breeding them. Don't know if they have any currently but I would check with them

Ya PLA will breakdown over time. UV exposure will make it become brittle and eventually it will just crumble. Although there are some PLA types out there that can hold better then other but best bet is to just stick with PETG

So I printed my screen tops for my tank many years ago. 2 of them I reprinted sometime back because the intial frames I made for them were very bulky and the access port in the tops wasnt big enough for me. However one of the tops I hadnt ever gotten around to reprinting again, mainly because I...

I mostly use PETG. It holds up best under UV lights, and in the harsh saltwater environment. Its also non-toxic and is the plastic most commonly used in kitchen utensils

Mapped out the par values in the tank currently. Most of the bulb in the MH have been in for several years now so about time to change them. I ordered new bulbs from Aqua Bright and what to do a before and after. Its also clear that I should adjust the position on a few of the MH and hang them a...
