    Mag and Phosphate

    Hello all, hope everyone is safe. Dropped by BLC today, had to pickup salt. The tank is settling down now. Gravel stays clean, every few days clean the glass. Did lose one SPS, not sure why, everything else is doing fine. So here’s the question about levels, all Salifert; PH - 8.0 Nitrates...

    Aptsia???

    Well, I tried to suck up during a w/c what I thought was Aptsia sitting along the glass in the sand, now I’m not sure. I will try and post a picture tomorrow, but for now a description.

    BRS doser timers

    Question for those running BRS Dosers, what timers are you using? For now just manually dosing 2 part. Thinking I need something that can turn on, off in a minute, maybe 2 minutes max. Several times daily. Thoughts?

    Nitrates

    Okay, getting stumped here. After moving into the 50 SCA about 6 weeks ago nitrates got elevated, and cyno showed up. Figured it was from new sand. I did seed they new tank with about a cup of sand from the 20. I have been doing 5 gallon water changes every/every other day for 2 weeks and...

    Power Outage

    Never had such a small tank, and as many corals. Power went out about hour ago went from 79.9 to 78.8. Any ideas on how to raise tank temp without power?

    Return pump

    Again, looking for thoughts with some kind of backup. For the 50 SCA and Trigger sump I was thinking of the ReefOcto Varios 2. States it should max 792gph. Only looking at a 3 foot lift maybe, couple of 45's no 90's are likely. I don't plan on running anything else, reactors and such, just...

    Clear PVC

    Got the tank, (thanks tinman), just picked up the sump, Trigger Emerald 20. Thinking thru return pump and drains. Outside of the algae issue, anyone use clear PVC for part or all of the drain/return systems? Any other issues that might be of concern?
