    Wondering how often do you have to replace you rodi membrane,filters,media?

    As long as it’s a quality Membrane, they can usually go at least a year, possible 2. really just depends on how good or bad your regular home water is? My other filters usually last at least 6 months but I have pretty decent water to begin with. I just monitor with my tds probe and swap out as...

    210 reboot

    The main tank light fixture is an older current USA MH/T5 combo that I had upgraded over the years. The original current USA electric ballast just didn’t drive the MH very well, par was not great. Ended up swapping out the ballast to M80 and that woke that fixture up. Running Phoenix 14k hqi MH...

Crazy but the stuff truly works, tanks been fine. for anyone that’s starting up a tank, I would definitely use this stuff...

    210 reboot

    Hello, After having to take some time away from the hobby, it is time to reboot the 210. Some years back, my Achilles tang disappeared and just couldn’t find it. Moved rocks, sifted through sand, it was like the thing just disappeared. Next day, I got an ammonia spike, which crashed my tank...

    What's up with my elegance coral?

    Oh man, that’s stinks. If you haven’t already, double check all your Params to make sure nothing is off. Check those and go from there. I would do that before adding anything else, last thing you want is to add more livestock and the same thing happen again.

Had to take a break from the hobby after that, years went by quick, I guess time doesn’t wait for you, lol! I kept the tank and all my equipment, glad I did. Everything...

    Current USA lights

    Current USA are decent entry level lights but you will most likely need to upgrade eventually. I would recommend getting the best lights budget allows up front, that way you’re not spending more $$$ later. One and done is the idea. I originally purchased current USA fixture for my 210, over the...

    Need Mixing Station Ideas

    I just use the brute trash cans, always worked out well for me. They also sell a rolling stand for them, makes it easy to roll around when full. I am pretty sure I purchased mine from Home Depot, they also carry the rolling stands. I’m in the process of rebooting my tank, tank crashed several...
