    I place a poly filter in the sump this morning and its turning yellow meaning that there is ammonia in the tank. Can someone tell me what is a good way to bring it down please? Or if just the poly filter is enough?

    No i dont really dose everything since the parameters stay pretty much the same if I need to I will dose whatever is low. For example I would have dose the magnesium since is a little low but I wont since i will do the water change.

    I will do a 25 gallon change tonight or tomorrow morning. I use 4 DIF-50 (50 watts) from Orphek 2 of them are on from 1 to 9:30pm 2 of them are on from 3:30 to 7:30pm I used to run them for almost 10 hours until 3 weeks ago when I started to see they started loosing some colors. I ran them for 10 hours a day for 4-5 months and never notice anything negative (To me it looked like the corals like the light thats why I ran them that long) but I cut back to see if that help but nothing positive yet. I also disconnected my refugium from the main tank (i have a power head and a heater to keep it going, hope its enough or should I have something else in there?) I did this because my refugium is in the storage and HVAC area and maybe some screw or something metal fell in there and I looked but didnt see anything. I will take everything out and double check again to be safe. Thanks to everyone that has posted

  22. Hi everyone, I need help something is definitely happening in my tank and I dont know what is. I have attach pictures to help you guys see what Im talking about. My SPS have lost their color and so have my acans, I have lost two acans already and im loosing my frogspawns heads, I can see tiny black spots in the tips of the frogspawns on a couple of heads yesterday and today I see it on 3 more. What can it be? and if someone knows how can I fix it the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. Tank is 120 gallon with a 30 gallon sump and a 30 refugium. Parameters: Cal 440 Alk 8.4 Mag 1290 Phos .10 (im working on it I know is high) PH 8 Nitrate 10 (down from 25 3 days ago) Temp 78 I did a 13 gallon water change yesterday and I will do another one tomorrow.
  23. I have the same question when I was looking at this pumps and as far as I know its the length of the power cord the only difference, thats what I found on their website. Great pumps I have 2 mag 18 as returns and a 9.5 for skimmer and 2 mag 7 for water change.
  24. +1 on joining WAMAS. I wish I would have joined when I was putting my tank together I would have save a ton of $$$ plus there is a wealth of knowledge here and people are always willing to help if someone has a question.
