Add phyto daily. Always helps with dinos

Marc, don't forget that the launch also has the 4 drive ports that you can use to power 12volt devices and is the only unit with a salinity port other than the x10

dont you have another tank that you havent set up yet? i seem to remember another one....and when is the anemone cube coming back?

How many gallons was this tank?

Hey Mark, thanks for sharing and for your time, much appreciated sir.

Hey, I appreciate actually seeing you break down a tank in real time. My husband and I are hoping to move in the next year or so, which means my tank will be moving with us. This gives me some assurance that I can do it!

DI water at pH of 9 means something is contaminating it. Pure water has zero buffering capacity so it’s very easy to change it’s pH with very little contamination.

Great conversation, thank you for doing this every week

@matc you shows are great. BUT when have a guest, please be careful you Don't talk over them and give them enough air time to fully express their opinions. Please rewatch this stream with Rich, you will notice that he had a lot that he couldn't communicate

pH of DI water is silly. How do you measure hydrogen ions in water that has been de-ionized?

You should ask Fritz to send you some red boxes instead of blue next time - maybe you can stop having to buffer your new saltwater.

I would like to see the test kits we use...used at a reef in the ocean. Ph, phosphates, etc...

Hope the community made it through transport ok. :)

So y did you get this tank?

If you want to see high pH check out Chummingham’s reef

So air through your skimmer does oxygenate your system!?

Farley would be a great addition to your stream as well what do you think Marc I do consider him a guru not that bulk reef supply guy that says he is a guru not one bit anyhow sidetracked sorry Farley yes good addition to guest speak on your stream ✌️

rich all points spot on !

or crank the ac and open doors !

New coral frag right on top of the dead coral will fix that right up 😂

always been between 8.1 to 8.3 and never worried about it at all !! It goes dn at least on probes during low pressure storm rain weather too !!

one day of kalk and make fresh daily is only way.

would dripping muriatic also work in iv bag ?

I think we'll be better off if we focused on reducing the pH drop at night ather than increasing the pH high during peak.

Hard-pass, see u next week!

Newbie here... is pH different than Phosphate?

Pick a salt and stick with it! Shake your bucket/Salt container before every mix! Make sure the parameters and temp match your tanks and do a 5%, percent water change every week. Doing this will give a stable, successful reef environment!

I love rich but dont let him know that

BEEFFFFFFFFFF

Marc you should try talking with Ryan Cunningham from Chumminghams Reef he’s been on of the big high ph proponents for awhile. Did a few interviews with reefdudes.

Does Rich use a filter for the air pump that brings in outside air?

This is an awesome sat live!! Entertaining and educational, this is perfection.

You're pretty awesome for showing the good, the bad and the ugly of a reef tank. Most people shy away from showing their system's problems and it gives a false impression that newbies are the only ones with issues. I personally have vermetids that have been INFESTING ME. Good luck on the positive changes! And don't be too hard on yourself, sometimes there's good waves in life and at other times a bit of under happens. You're doing an awesome job. Reef on <3

Red cyano RX is good like chemiclean?

Blue - green cyno is in freshwater. In saltwater it’s mostly red colored

I still use bioballs because I can put them in QT tanks without them absorbing treatments. I wash them well with bleach and then leave them in my overflow to keep them cycled

What are you heaters plugged into not an eb8,?

Have u tried orca labs nitragard biocubes. You run them with an airstone only. Start working in 7days. These this work great no side effects. Noone talking about them they have been around for years and years. I dont get why no one talks about them

Hi Mark. This is Steve Weast. Its been around 15 years since we talked last. Evan still around ? I was working on my current tank today when I caught your program. Just a point of correction....my old tank was 850 gals....with a 6ft viewing panel and 8 ft from front to back.....30 inches tall. I never replaced all the sand....however...I vacuumed it so often that I had to top off the sand every month or two. As for your nitrate issue, you should consider a sulfur reactor. They are far more user friendly and much more "set it and forget it" compared to a Deltec. I use an Aquamax unit on my current 400 gal reef and it maintains my levels from 5-10. I have the reactor set to allow the tank's nitrate level to slightly increase the tank's over a month or so from 5ppm to 10ppm......so that a typical water change interval then just knocks the tank back to 5ppm. The nitrate level out of the reactor is set to be between 1-2 PPM. Adam Sandler also uses a sulfur reactor....although a monster one...but the simplicity is there.

My tank crashed back in October the first time since I started back in 1987

feels a tad overstocked on the fish. They look a bit cramped

I don't recommend you use a fogger, it will cover everything with the pesticide and you would have to be extremely cognizant to not, at some point, touch something and transfer it to your tank. IMHO

After 7 years of keeping my fluval 12 Gallon reef going i almost quit few weeks ago, i thought i will not have time for it after moving to a new house and all. But i realized i just spend it on a wrong things. And decided to do a little upgrade instead of getting rid of it.

VEVOR Manual Tile Cutter, 48 inch, Porcelain Ceramic Tile Cutter with Tungsten Carbide Cutting Wheel, Infrared Positioning, Anti-Skid Feet, Double Rails for Professional Installers or Beginners Glass Cutter $149.99 can cut glass tank 200 g 30 w24 5ft

Try ortho home defense the active chemical is bifenthrin and works great on spiders. Knock down all webs/ with broom or circular broom and apply product around perimeter high and low. Be carful with treating up high as it may stain drywall I’d try a spot first but definitely around the baseboards . I do pest control btw or call a professional lol

Could it be detritus in and between the rocks? Maybe more flow or more pumps? Tank still looks great!

Measure the diameter of the hole you want the sock in. Then leave a half inch extra around the edge. Then sew that circle into the bottom of the filter tube, using the half inch to seam in. Enjoy it brother. Sewing is a must in our lives

I’d try chipping it out of there!

I have a 300 gallon system (tank and sump). I have a 10 gallon ATO reservoir. I fill it every two days.
