They are less than an inch long. I'm not going to pull them out of the...

More precisely, you need to choose buffer solutions that bracket your target pH. Salt water is ~ pH 8.2 so you'd choose pH 7 and pH 10 as your buffers. Your calcium reactor has ~ pH 6.5 I think and...

Your live rock is dead but that's not the problem. The problem is copper is adsorbed on calcareous substrates and is slowly released back into the water column. Fishes will be fine in the tank but...

It's actually really low. It's in the exact centre on the back panel (48x21) and it's under the overflow box. I'm not even sure they are bubbles. They could even by tiny little bits of dust from the...

Everything is fine, thanks for asking. The E. yaeyamaensis (frogspawn?) is getting bleached but that's because it's right under the MH. I know that has nothing to do with the temperature but I felt...

Almost killed my anemone
I got the baffles installed and I put the sump back in place, ready to fill it next morning when the silicone was cured. I also rerouted one of my drains so they all dump into the skimmer...

Thanks for the replies.
I won't be using a refugium. This tank is small so I'm not getting too deep into the build until I get a larger tank. This one is just for practice. I've been out of the...

Sump: over/under/over? or the other way?
I only have 3 pieces of glass for baffles for a bubble trap. I've added 2 and now I don't know where to put the last one. Am I supposed to have over/under/over like I've been reading or is it...

Thanks. I did find it. Apparently, from what I was told, when it comes to Canada, due to regulations, it has to carry a specific label. This label is expensive and has to be on every product, so...

Gave up on that "how much flow through my sump" thread eh? ;)
I can only give you my opinions on your overflow. You'll need to choose your pipe sizes based on the size of your return pump. If your...

That's something to consider for next time. I don't trust CLs and prefer propeller pumps with the included mesh right now. But it's not like the flow through my sump is that great anyway, maybe 2-3x...
