I would like to be added to the list please. I don't have a computer, so if I could borrow the hand held, that would be great! Thank you! 

Started a 210 with a 40 gal of water sump at the beginning of January. Added some fish (about 14) a month ago. I have 3 coral, a polyp, an anemone, and just was gifted a flowerpot. I have never had my MG up to 1300. I’m not sure why that is and looking for help. When looking up on the webs, a lot of people were saying it is the salt you use, but my salt looks like it has a high level? I did a 10% water change and barely moved the needle. I’m currently dosing with “Reef Advantage Magnesium”. Thoughts? 

Congrats and thank you!!!

Thank you so much @SuncrestReef!!

So, I am looking for some clips to add to my sump like the orange sample clip you get with the trident. I looked on the Neptune website and didn’t see them on there to buy, checked BRS too and didn’t see anything like them. I am needing the clips to clip on my glass baffles. Any ideas?

New tank is cycled, looking for some goodies for the sump now. If you have any Chaeto, let me know please! 
 

thank you! 

Is there enough parking at the store, or is there somewhere else I should plan on parking? I’ve never been to the store so I’m not sure and coming from out of town an very excited!!

Hello all,

Looking to sell my entire stock. Everything, I have alot of stuff so I will try to list as much as I can and at some point will post pics since that will help give you an idea.

I am looking for about 4500 for all this stuff.

Red Sea XL300

Apex Controller, Trident, DOS & DDR, Also have the Neptune Return pump (forget the name)

 

Are you looking to sell as a bundle or willing to part out? If willing to part out, I’m interested in the Neptune return pump and you hannas.

Luckily I was able to get a refund.

Glad you were able to get a refund, still sucks someone would take them off like that. Hope the next order doesn’t get taken.

Setting up a new tank and would love to add an Apex/Trident to it. Let me know what you have or if you know someone. Thanks so much!

Based on lots of research and personal experience, these would be my go to checkers.  The are presented in what I feel is overall importance for keeping sps.  If you have more than $1k in livestock I would suggest a full apex and trident as well. 

Alk.. Hannah alk checker

Phos..  Hannah low range phos

Nitrate.. salifert 

calcium.. I used red sea.. but I really don't have an opinion. salifert also good. 

Mag.. just have the fish store do it once every couple months.

If you are dosing elements I would do a ICP test every 3 months with lots of corals, every 6-9 months with a reactor.  (or just add a little iron and manganese and iodine every week).  I am getting off topic LOL

 

 

Super helpful! I don’t have that amount in my tank…. yet! Still working on the build. With it being a 210, I fully expect to be house a good amount of coral. That being said, I think you and @SuncrestReef are right and I should go for the Apex/Trident system. There was one on the site for sale a bit ago and I was thinking of getting it, but for some reason thought I had to have a computer. Now I know I can use my smartphone, I’ll keep my eyes open for the next one available. 

@SuncrestReef Thanks for the heads up!

The Apex can be monitored & controlled from any smartphone (iOS or Android), PC or Mac.  At a minimum, it can be controlled & monitored with no smartphone or computer by using the optional Apex Display module (a small LCD screen with push buttons to navigate its menu structure).

I think I’m going to be on the lookout for an Apex/trident system!

I'm currently testing via Apex, and Hanna daily.  I'm happy with these Hanna results.  Tests are straight forward.   I

Apex

• pH & Temp
• Trident:  Ca, Alk, Mg

Hanna

• HI736 Phosphorus ULR 
• HI782 Nitrate HR
• HI705 Silica low range (because I'm dosing for dinos)

 

 

 

I was thinking of getting the Apex/trident pack, but I don’t have a computer currently. You need a computer to set up and use that system, right?

Looking good! 

Been awhile since I was in the marine game, last I was using the Saltwater test kit by API if I remember correctly. That being said, I know the hobby has advanced a lot since I was last keeping, mind you, it was fish only, and wanted to get some thoughts on if you prefer the chem test, Hannas, or something else. 

Wish I was ready for this! Still building the tank up. Good luck with the sale, I’m sure it will go quick! 

Lookin good! I just picked up. 60 gallon breeder for my sump. Drawing up my plan for it now. I like your baffle set up!

Wonderful pictures! 

Is there such a thing as overkill with lighting? 😂 

Your tank is AMAZING! 😍

Looks great!! Excited to watch it come to life even more on your next updates!!

Thank you SO much! Super excited and very thankful for such an amazing group!!

I am a Supporting Member, been away for a bit with a basement remodel, but I’m getting close to setting up my new tank! 

Hi all, I’ve been getting my feet wet in a 40B and am ready to go a bit bigger. I’m looking for something with a footprint of 48” x 24” preferably, a bit smaller might be considered as well. I will be looking for equipment as well, but wanting to get the tank first. Thanks all!
