    Koralia Nano

    2 1050's and a 750 is 2850GPH which for a 150g tank is only 19 times turnover rate. Even tho they are smaller with 4 i could still achieve a 30 times per hour turnover rate. i understand the potential for stray electricity but does everyone really think in combination they will still lack the...

    Koralia Nano

    im wondering if the koralia nano 425's would be too small for a 55 gallon. im looking at them instead of the evolution series because they are smaller @ 2" x 3-3/4" and the evos are 2-7/8" x 5-3/4". i know they are only rated for 30 gallons but with 4 of these smaller nanos i can still get...

    new to reefing!

    Well i got my order in. i wish i had known about the air pump before purchasing :frustrat: but i did some searching and figured out that's why i had so much salt creep from the old air pump i was replacing. hopefully i can return it for something else because i still need powerheads if not i'll...

    new to reefing!

    thank ya'll, due to an absence in testing equipment and rock im thinking the tank hasn't cycled, plus the amquel is suppose to rid of ammonia and nitrite. my tank did get reeeally cloudy like 2-3" visibility then was fine next morning. this was after sand and salt mix settled. any other...
