    Let's talk about calcium reactor components

    in Want to Buy / Trade

    Posted · Edited by goldenbasketreef

    1. Good calcium reactor, Geo Marine or Reef Octopus, the rest you pay for cosmetic not function

    2. Add 2nd or 3rd chamber / media reactor, doesn't mater brand, to hold decent amount of media to strip escape co2

    2. Basic Controller will be Carbon Doser, the best to avoid end of tank dump issue go with 2 stage controller with quality needle valve & electronic solenoid valve from Alan Le or diy

    3. Timer to control injection period for the basic, or milwaukie ph controller with ph probe to control ph inside reaction chamber for accurate control

    4. Start at PH 7 inside the reaction chamber then adjust down by 0.5 point ph to increase alk

    5. Feed pump separate than circulation pump or can use dosing pump

    IMO dosing pump or timer are either or option, both can deliver stable alk once set correctly. Myself I use a timer from home depot to control on/off on solenoid valve to deliverr CO2 and my feed pump continue running at the feed setting using plastic gate valve

    Wow, you brought a lot of sps on the plane.

    I’m not sure how you get your acros to look better in your booth than in most of our display tanks. That is dialed in!

    You know luck is a big factor, cross fingers and toes, knocked on wood, nothing bad will occurred

    How do these “high end” sps sellers get away with this!

    I do get a lot of request for picture under 10k-12k lighting.

    Now let me explain my point about this request. Who has spectrum analizer readily to measure the light spectrum for taking picture or even measure spectrum in a personal tank.

    Some also would say 10k-12k means a little more white. But again it is subjective to each own. Your little more white may not be the same as my little more white.

    Do you follow what I am saying? It is very difficult request to follow because no one can be certain what is picture under white lighting or under 10k-12k mean.

    Regardless how the picture look, wanting to provide review need actual coral to compare otherwise you are comparing

    apple to orange then the argument will be mute. If you never bought the corals in question then you don't have a right to say good or bad just my 2 cents.

    I actually have seen BigR monti in person at show and it is look like that under deeper royal blue ligthing or under kessil 360WE

    For red bug and monti eating nudi need to dip 30 minutes

    Monti eating nudi is most difficult to eradicate, it will only stunt this parasite even with pure bayer solution.

    KCL dip allows us to dip monti 2-3 times a week without any problem with the corals to get rid of monti eating nudi. The nudi will come out and easily pick up with twizzer or blow off

    I jason fox uses no LED at all besides reefbrite all blues. Reefbrite all blues and mostly actinic t5.

     

     

     

     

    But yeah.. chill on the whites. I put my radiums from 7 hours to 5. We shall see. I am trying to make some big sales to treat myself to two 72" reefbrite xho strips.

    Jason Fox use t5 blue+ as the primary grow out light and color up using reefbrite blue stripe.

    If you want to run MH for 4-5 hours like he does, make sure you have enough t5 blue +, t5 actinic and reefbrite blue stripe for 12-15hrs photoperiod

    A lot of us usually miss the void space between the base of the acropora and rock or frag plug, it is the most likely area where eggs deposited and out of sight.

    If you see worm/s flying out from a colony make sure you cut at the base and dip.

    Clean and scrap the spot it was on before placing back the colony with new epoxy and glue.
