Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Yeah the SeaClone is definitely a POS. Do what Yote suggested, I've only heard good things about the Coralife Super Skimmers, although they take a few weeks to break in.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
I believe i figured out the source of my low alkalinity. Does anyone use a water softener before there RO filter? I think that the softener is pulling all of the hardness out of the water. Is this something that would usually come through a 5 stage RO?

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Your R/O is doing its job.It basically strips everything out of the water so you end up with extra soft.
The 2 docs sale some stuff called osmo-prep that will will put some calcium and alkalinity back in the filtered water. Fishbait uses arm and hammer baking soda to bring his alkalinity up.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Well, found a few not so good hitch-hikers. I have a few digitate hydroids on my coral rock. They feel so great on your fingers, i would suggest that as a hand cream. NOT. lol. Does anyone know about these? From what i have read peppermint shrimp will wipe them out.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
I've never had to deal with those.But pepperments are great for your tank any way.Even if they dont eat the hydroids.
