Stunning aquarium and sump design. I'm doing 2 part dosing on a 30 gal all-in-one aquarium that consistantly yields calcium level of about 500ppm without any supplementation, just weekly water changes. I do add alkalinity daily to maintain that level around 9dkh. I was adding equal amounts of calcium and alkalinity but stopped since the calcium level is so high. My guess is its in the Red Sea Salt that i use that elavated levels of alkalinity, mag, and calcium. Is this the correct course of action to take until the calcium level starts to fall, which i assume it will once the frags start growing larger, or is this throwing matters out of balance? Everything in the aquarium appears to be thriving, acro frags, acans, and a ton of zoanthids. Thanks.
@Reefkpr1
@Reefkpr1 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you Michael. Yes you are handling the imbalance of Calcium and alkalinity exactly like I would. I am curious to what your Magnesium level is? Sometimes if your Magnesium is out of wack it will cause this. If your Mag is at correct levels I would just continue dosing alkalinity and monitor your calcium. In the past I've had my tank completely stall and stop using alkalinity and or Calcium. Just continue monitoring and I might suggest trying a new Calcium test just to double check. Wouldn't worry much especially since your coral is thriving. Just keep testing on a regular basis. When I had my stalls the drop and consumption came suddenly and started consuming again. Hope this helps.

I also put glue on the bottom of the frag plug or coral base then join them together holding in place for 30-45 seconds. On heavier frags the process is the same except I use Tunze coral gum "sandwiched" between the two glue spots.

Thanks Jonnathan. I run Carbon periodically but not full time. If my Phosphate creeps up, I'll use a little gfo or rowaphos. Couple of ways to setup a calcium reactor. Peg the PH at 6.5 and adjust effluent. I tune mine so the effluent stays constant at 32ml per minute then adjust co2 to lower ph inside the reactor until alkalinity becomes stable. Alk dropping add a bit more gas. Alk rising back off a tiny bit on the gas. My co2 is set to never shut off and I only use the solenoid/ controller to shut off solenoid if something goes haywire.

Did the waste away affect your acro's in any way? I just started it again and can't remember if I did a 1/2 dose the first time or not. I'm thinking I did because I know it can deplete the O2. I think I read somewhere that a guy killed all his acro's when he used it. The last time I did it I wasn't nearly as acro dominate as I am now. I gotta be careful with it. One thing I definitely remember is that it opened my drains so well that I thought something was wrong with my reef at like 2am. I remember thinkin' "dang this stuff works well." haha.

Reefkpr - Great to hear! I’ll probably start with 1/2 dose and go from there. Having a little algae on the sandbed, so I know that last time it cleaned the sand and rocks off fairly well. Hopefully it will know this algae out. My nutrients were moderately high in the beginning and now at 7 months they took a dive and being very low started a bloom. Funny how that works on young tanks. I’ve seen it before and in about 2-3 months it will be gone and the sand will be spotless. Well, we’ll see anyway. Gotta love reefing. Thx for the info though, makes me feel better!

Reefkpr - Just a report back. Started with 2-3 mL’s of Waste Away and worked up to 7 mL’s for my water volume (75/G). Left the top off the skimmer and let it run over to keep O2 up. Definitely affects pH. Does slightly stall alkalinity consumption, but overall no ill effects. Didn’t harm any of my Acro’s. It knocked down some GHA on the sandbed, but wouldn’t completely eliminate it so I stopped the treatments. Just like the last time I ran it...it did open up drains and fight off some algae. I wouldn’t say it completely unclogged my sand-bed like Dr. Tim claims 🤧, but it definitely isn’t snake oil and does indeed do most of what’s advertised. 👍🏼✊🏼

Great looking reef, congrats! By the way, how did you set your calcium reactor x the Carbon Doser x the peristaltic pump? I do have the same setup, the only difference will be the peristaltic pump which I choose to go with the Pacific Sun > CalcFeeder.

Thanks Felipe. I have the Kamoer in a pull configuration with a constant output of 40ml per min. I adjust Carbon doser to raise or lower PH inside the reactor based on demand. Currently at 6.73 PH at 40ML and my Params are locked in.

@@Reefkpr1 Sounds great! Then you don't really use any automatic controls like the Apex x PH probe readings to keep the CarbonDonser switching on n off according to your readings? I'm asking you because I will be using the Apex on my setup. By the way, if you like to see the reef project that I have been working from the past to years, I will leave the link to my professional Instagram profile, so you can send me a hello trough there.

@@FelipeAraujo-ot6rl I use the Apex as a failsafe. Just in case the PH goes haywire the Apex will shut down the carbon doser. I have it tuned so it never shuts off in normal operation. I'll have a look at you IG. Thanks for stopping by.

It's very shallow. I use fighting conchs, Nassarius snails and a sand sifting star. I know the star is controversial but I've had no problem. I also stir or turkey baste the sand, usually right before a water change.

do you have low ph using that calcium reactor ? and have you ever dosed kalkwosser in auto top off to help with ph
@Reefkpr1
@Reefkpr1 5 жыл бұрын
The PH dropped a tiny bit since adding the Calcium Reactor, but I'm still hitting 8.23 ph during the day and 8.04 ph at night. I've used Kalk in the past but not currently running it with this system. Only other thing I do for PH is I run my skimmer air intake line outside for fresh air.

Hi Tiffany. I Quarantine all my fish without meds for 6 weeks. In that time if I observe parasites, I treat with Cupermine and Prazi Pro depending on the parasite. My Flame angel made it through QT without any signs of parasites so no treatment was needed.

I run all 4 lights from 1700 to 1000 daily. When the tank was brand new I started with 2 lights until the screen started showing growth then bumped up to all 4.

@Reefkpr1
@Reefkpr1 5 жыл бұрын
1st reason was I was going through chemicals like crazy!!!!! 2nd was I was watching Rico's Aquarium live streams and he would always say, " What better way to supplement Corals then by melting corals and giving them back what took them to grow instead of chemicals". Made sense to me and to be honest is probably the best thing I've ever done to my reef.

Reefkpr - Honestly do you feel like the corals are happier? Vivid Aquariums runs a store in CA. He switched to CaRx’s and ran them for a few years, but then switched back to dosing pumps. I just feel like a CaRx is good for larger aquariums, but smaller tanks maybe not so good. They require a lot of tweaking. Keep me updated.

@@Reefahholic It is pretty soon to tell a HUGE difference but Since adding the Reactor My stability is much tighter and I'm seeing better polyp extension. In my 25 years of reefing I've always used Kalk or 2 part and had success but did not see the stability I'm seeing with the reactor.

@@Reefahholic Yes sir. I haven't touched the Calcium Reactor in over 2 months once I dialed it in. My DKH has not fluctuated more the .1 in 2 months and I'm testing Dkh daily. I was always told you have to constantly tweak a Calcium Reactor but Have not experienced that at all. I'm brand new to using the Reactor so I'm not sure if the Kamoer has anything to do with not having to tweak. Its just a constant stream at 54ml a minute. Rock solid so far.
