How to Tune a Calcium Reactor to Meet Calcium & Alkalinity Demands The trick to dialing in your reactor is to match the rate of supplementation from the reactor to the rate of consumption by your corals. Watch today's video to learn more! Calcium Reactors, Part 1: How They Work and What...

Hey guys are my tank in maturing and more and more coral is being added and growing. My levels seem to drop at a quicker rate ( naturally lol ) so I'm trying to find the best way to keep my calcium, alkalinity,magnesium and ph to where they should be. I'm getting tired of all these supplements...

Hello. I'd like to know where to purchase Dowflake online. The links from older posts do not work. Also, I've been dosing ESV B-ionic. Does Randy's recipe when mixed properly equal the same dosing amount? Thanks for your help.

Soooo every time I take my water to the LFS to be checked, LFS guy mentions how low my Alk is. I buffed Alk off and on, and last month it was 6 dKH. LFS guy said it was about half what it should be. After buffing Seachem Reef carbonate weekly(ish) for a month, I went back yesterday and it's at 7...

How do I increase my Ca and kH? I've checked them right after a water change and the Ca was 320 and the kh was 7. I've been dosing with C-balance for 3 days straight and the kh stayed at 7, but the Ca dropped to 300. I have 1 torch coral and one trumpet, both small. Also have snails & 2 hermits...

OK... My mag was low (500 range) and calcium (300 to 320 range) would not come up no matter how much I dosed it with B-Ionic. Alk always came out at about 9. All this using API test kits. By the way pH=8.4, Temp.=78 to 80, Nitrates=0, Phosphates also 0. Switched to Salifert test kits and the...

my calcium (390ppm) and alkalinity (6dKh) levels are low in my 29G BIOCUBE. i've heard that dosing with PURPLE UP will help raise both these parameters and then once they get in range i could switch to a 2 part buffer like B-ionics. is this true?

Anyone know of a good electronic method to test for water parameters. I know there is a salinity tester that you can simply dip in and get an accurate reading, but what about other parameters?
