Hey Phishmon your in the buisness, why not make the stuff your self for .50/lb and sell it to everyone for 2$/lb. You would probly make out well. iron and sand doesn't seam so difficult.

The whole success of the eco system is based on superior macro algae growth. I do not use the mud, but what i do use that works just as good is a Ca Reactor.I know that i get some Co2 enriched effluent driping in to my 200 gal sump, my macro algae growth is incredible.I can fill half the sump...

Lighting plays a large roll in getting calurpa to grow, i find it easy to grow caurpa in a sump with flo plant bulbs or even pc's, home depot sells a regular screw in 15 watt daylight made by philips that works great. As for water changes i only use my skimmer to remove water, never have done...

danmhippo , I use the aero foamer 830, i do not set my skimmer for dry foam, i let the bubbles rise to the top and pop out foam on the sides of the cup, this gives me a wet foam which is tea like color, and i get a gallon or more a day. I found this way works best, this is the quickest way to...

in my 180 i use the skimmer to pull out 1 gal of junk every day, once a week i adj my salt levels, why remove the good water when your skimmer takes out a much higerh % of bad water,this save me a bundle on salt.

This is a good topic, here is how i see it. Tangs or angels in the ocean are always on the move, why? because of preditors. I don't know about you guys but i haven't seen any sharks crusing around my 180 gal reef. If you keep them well fed and not crowded then a 120 gal tank is perfectly...
