Nothing too new with the tank this month. I've been watching my water parameters to see how long I could go without a water change. No increase in nitrates whatsoever still. I've tested 0 for over four months straight now (test works fine, I've got another batch of rock cycling). Calcium dropped down a little bit to around 420 and I noticed my monti cap lose some of it's green tint. In the next couple of weeks I'll be getting in and installing my Next Reef reactor, an MP10ES and maybe a few ...

Hey y'all,

Was thinking of getting a reactor and some NP Biopellets. I have a few questions:

For the people who use or used NP Biopellets, what do you think of it? Pros and cons?

Thanks,

Hi all,
Recently came into a standard 29G and cherry stand. Older tank that I sealant stripped (only the inside) then resealed and water tight tested. Always kinda wanted a QT... and always kinda wanted a frag tank.

The DT is 75G w/35G fuge. What is the consensus... set it up as a frag and plumb it to the DT fuge... plumb it to its own fuge... say a 10G long... or set it up independant as a QT? Other ideas?

Come on gangsters... weigh in on this for me! ...
