Been out of the hobby for about 5 years and am about to get back in. When I left, this place was soooo active. Now it seems everyone left? What happened?

So I am running a mixed reef in a 28 gallon RedSea Reefer nano. It has a 21 gallon display and 7 gallon sump. I've been reading a lot about the chemical warfare that can go on between LPS, SPS and softies. I run chemipure blue in my filter sock 24/7, so I suppose the carbon in that can absorb...

Does anyone have one yet? Curious to know how people are liking it. Should I go with a WXM or the Reeflink? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a nwb150 in one tank, everytime I do a water change or sock change, the skimmer goes nuts for about 2 days. I just don't run it. However, on another tank, I run a 1000sss and it doesn't have this issue. Anyone else run into these issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do y'all clean the residue off the walls of your mixing tubs? Is this stuff bad for the rodi? Or bad to mix more saltwater inv alt=""> Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

If I am waiting to run carbon in my tank only periodically, do I still need to use a reactor? Can I just toss a bag in my sump on one of the media shelfs? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Has anyone used this test kit? I really like my phosphate checker and was wondering what people think of the Alk?

I have a canopy with t5ho lights installed. It's a retrofit. I'm pretty handy with most stuff, but not with lighting/electrical. One of the endcaps smokes when lighting up. Obviously, I'm not using this right now, but would like to fix it. It's a 4 bulb fixture using 2 Icecap 430 ballasts. 54w...

I am getting ready to buy a new heater(s). I am placing the heater(s) on my new DSA 100 with about 14 gallons of sump water. What is a good heater to use? I have used the ehiem jager heater with good luck, but just dont know what do use on this one. Should I use 1 250w or maybe 2 150w?

I found a deal on a DSA 100 and stand I just couldn't pass on. Seeing as I didn't win the 105 Rimless yesterday :-( I went a head and made an extreme impulse purchase. I'm gonna move all the livestock and equipment over from my 75g. Gonna be a fun upgrade! I'll post up a build log when things...

Anyone in Dallas carry this sand? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So, I recently upgraded the flow in my tank and now all my sand blows around. Since I have never liked the small grain size to begin with, this seems like a good chance to swap it out. I have a 75 gallon that has been running since the end of November(most stuff was transferred from a 11 month...

I'm looking to setup a carbon reactor on my 75gal. I was wondering how much flow you guys run through the reactor. According to BRS, I need roughly .5 a cup of the ROX carbon, changing it bi-weekly. I'm just looking for flow info. Thanks people's.
