Sodium carbonate is also more concentrated because it isn't "hydrated" like bicarbonate. If you want to get real crazy you can dose carbonate at night and bicarbonate at day. :p

I use vinegar in kalkwasser and add it through a doser. I don't use it for nutrient lowering reasons, I use it to make the kalk more concentrated. It definitely affects the PO4 and NO3. That's an...

It probably does. Most SPS tanks will start to suffer below 7.8 and above 8.4. Ideally, you want to be around 8.2-8.3, but as Chin says, don't chase the pH too much. Remember that pH is a result...

Closed loops are the bomb. I'm not sure why they have left fashion. I'd have one on my tank if I had room under it for the pump and all the plumbing.

- UV makes the biopellets much less effective. Not recommended to run them together.

One thing I'd like to experiment with is using a much smaller amount of biopellets with higher flow (like non-recirculating). You may be able to achieve the same thing. I haven't tried it.

Well, if you didn't do all those big water changes you'd be halfway to buying a recirculating reactor. :( The problem is that you need a fair bit of flow to keep the biopellets churning otherwise...

Yeah, that is a lot of rock, and it looks like you have it leaning against the back glass. My own rockscape "rules" are, don't lean it against the glass, don't go higher than 2/3 the height of the...

Some people find benefit to switch to carbonate during the winter when low pH can be a problem. Most tanks do just fine with bicarbonate. I haven't used carbonate for many, many years. If you test...

I think it's a great idea to start with a small tank now so that you learn some of the ropes before you jump into a big tank. The thing with big tanks is that mistakes are bigger and more expensive....
