I just wanted to update all that followed or replied.This one may be for the books! The last stage on my RO, which is a five stage is a post carbon filter,the manufacturer couldn't tell me exactly what the composition was but it WAS the problem,stripping everything out of the water! No buffering...

Just to update you all. I have sort of located the problem. It appears to be connected to the media in my RO system.My RO water tests perfect out of the unit, but apparently something in the water is missing that I'm not testing for. And I have tested it for everything! I can mix a fresh batch...

Hi all! I have a problem...ph is constantly low. Usually hovers around 7.5 to7.8.I have tried seachem buffer which rebounds it to 8.3 or so but within 12 or so hrs, it's back to the usual. The only thing it seems to have raised consistantly is my alkalinity.A quick refresh of my system and...

I have found more great deals with just being patient and looking! I was going to upgrade my protein skimmer from a built in on a trickle to something that would pull more without spending big $!

I just had a similar problem with an Emerald crab.I purchased one at my LFS in which he was a little larger than the others in the tank. I had heard and read that they were reef safe and friends had quite a few in their tank with no problems. After purchasing a nice large hammer coral and some...

This is my dilemma. I really don't want to spend the money on a RO/DI unit as I have a small reef tank. My LFS which is reputable sells premix at .89 a gallon. Once a month....15 gallon change....Do the math ....salt...two days waiting.... temperature change....It seems to me I would be better...

Just started this 46 gal bow. I like the size of this tank!

Just wanted to say thanks to all who welcomed me...I have been a member of other forums in the past and all went well. Recently I joined another forum which had a somewhat introduction page and my post, and others went unnoticed by many, which I found to be discouraging. I enjoy sharing...
