  1. I have always used the Flipper Max but looking for something that is better for stubborn coralline algae. Please give me your opinion if you have used both or think there is something better. Aquarium is glass.
  2. Thanks for the reply, but I got it all figured out.
  3. Need help with Icecap 4k gyre and controller. According to the instructional video, I should see the word pumps on the status screen, but I do not. Can any one help? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  4. I also recommend a Reef buddy. They can learn your system and you their's. Switch off and cover when one goes out of town. Here is a piece of equipment that has saved me a ton of headaches. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef-octopus-4-waste-collector-with-auto-shut-off.html
  5. I need to replace my Maxspect XF250. How does the Icecap 4k compare. Mostly interested in noise level, reliability, and, water movement.
  6. Good point. I read about when researching ULNS. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  7. Whats odd is I had been having trouble with zero nitrates and zero phosphates. This had been going on for quit some time even after over feeding. I started dosing N03. The recommended dose was 1ml per 25 gallons. I only dosed 2mls on my 120gal tank. The nitrates and phosphates are still zero. I am measuring nitrates with the salifert test kit and phosphates with Hanna ULR phosphate checker. So I am a little suprised to see cyano.
  8. Can anyone ID this algae? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  9. I wasn't aware of that. I ordered the sodium nitrate, so I will just wait for that. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  10. I mistakenly ordered calcium nitrate. I should have ordered sodium nitrate. Is there a use for the calcium nitrate? I need it to raise nitrates. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  11. Better to buy to ULR or LR Hanna Phosphate Checker? I am having ultra low nutrients and need to start doing nitrates and phosphates, so I want to buy the phosphate checker, but not sure which one.
  12. Purple monti gone green/blue still available. I worked today as well as tomorrow. Available after 6 every evening.

  13. That is amazing. It makes me wonder what is the life span of reef fish is captivating as well as in the wild. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  14. So sorry and sad to see. If you have been in reefing for any length of time, you are bound to have a crash. It is heart breaking. The good thing is to receive help from everyone. Good luck on the regrow.
  15. I have The Typhoon II by Air, Water, Ice.com. I am very pleased with it. Just look at what fits your needs. The membrane is what restricts your GPD. So you could always change later. 50gpd is not bad. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  16. Yes, I must be. I thought it would dose between 6am and midnight. Which was just for testing. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  17. Right now just trying to get it to work. Once I do I will 00:00‐06:00. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  18. So I used this program, as you can see in the picture. Both 6pm and 7pm the doser did not come on. When I was looking for programs I saw one that stated, if you used the timer function it had to be in outlet 4 or 8. Is that the case with this one? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
  19. Thanks. Thats what I am using, but for some reason can't get it to work. I will double check.
  20. Hello. I had an advanced program for my doser. I am looking one that I would have on from 00:00-06:00 for 5minutes per hour. If you have a similar program and can provide a screen shot I would appreciate it.
  21. I am trying to delete everything and start over. i only have the display and one eb8.
  22. Hello I bought a used brain for an Apex. It has the old users energy bars. I need to get rid of those and ad mine. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this. I did search youtube with no luck.
