That's very true.
I would not trust something I've no control over.
Every new batch of salt I buy, I also test for NO3 and PO4 after I mix the salt.
One wrong move and that might spell trouble.
Can cool can already ma.
Simon's case is when all his MH at full blast the chiller runs non-stop and instead of cooling the temp slowly creep up.
Running these type of reflector the temp very hot one that's why better to keep the lights slightly higher. Also good to prevent burning your sps too.
Hey Terryz, sometimes people makes mistakes as they got the wrong info from elsewhere and maybe that's the reason why some reefers feel that hypo treatment doesn't work as they applied it wrongly.
Simon, maybe your rocks more dirty so that's why taking longer time to shed.
Stronger proper flow, better skimmer + regular siphoning will fix those detritus.
My deltec one had a microfilter before the ball valve.
But then the flow control is at the inlet. Putting the flow control at the outlet don't really make sense as the effluent is always dusty.
Blue face angels quite good boy one, it's the other type not so colorful one then need to kill.
I also think w/o center bracing would be easier to maintain, maybe use thicker glass and thicker side bracings.
His CR flow control at the effluent outlet and the flow control done with the orange ball valve. The small opening would cause the dirt in the effluent to accumulate with time and that caused the choking. What he has to do is to open and close the ball valve to clear the choke. But the root caused is not solved and the CR choked very soon after that.
