  1. your high alk is probably why you are seeing the burnt tips. Get it down closer to 7.
  2. What is your alk? Also, go very slow with dosing zeo. A little goes a long way. Have you read the guide and have a good understanding of the process?
  3. Steve over at QR told me about this site if you need a long cable for the apex. They even call it the apex cable. Its what they are using in the shop and I will be getting one as well http://www.usbfirewire.com/cgi-bin/site/user.cgi/productsearch/results?term=apex
  4. Looks awesome. I still miss my edge.
  5. I have a feeling this build is going to make me want a nuvo fusion that much more.
  6. Buy what you like. I have a pair or ocis that breed and a pair of platinums that's also mate. It's all your preference. Don't buy because of what others want.
  7. Quantum had a sweet sump for a cube the other day when I was there. I can't remember the company who made it down in Richmond.
  8. I had to do the same thing in order to access it locally on my wifi and then when I was away from my network.
  9. I would give Neptune a call and they can share your screen with Team Viewer to get it setup to the net. They were very helpful when I was initially setting mine up and having troubles with the network configuration.
  10. Found this and figured others would enjoy.
  11. hahaha I always forget you don't dose anything. I would imagine that you will see even better growth than you already do with the ability to keep everything at a stable level.
  12. You are going to wonder why you ever dosed by hand once you have them set up.
  13. Looking good! I was wondering when you were going to get those suckers mounted. You put the wide angle TIRs on yet?
  14. looks like they opened the beta up to everyone https://apexfusion.com
  15. I have been using the beta for the past month or so and it has worked very well. The interface is much easier to use and the network setup is beyond easy. I switched ISPs during the beta and had to do nothing in order to gain access on almy local or external network. Haven't had any issues and enjoy how quickly the system responds.
  16. I ended up going with bio-pellets in the reactor for my IM16 for that very reason and just dose the bacteria and other zeo products rather than the full blown Zeo setup I have on my 90 gallon. I think getting the proper flow is possible but you will definitely need to get everything dialed in with a little extra work.
  17. Looks like it's coming along well. You might want to look into the IM media reactor. It could help you regulate the flow and let you shake the rocks. You would just need to mark the position.
  18. Decided to give the eshopp nano a shot. I'm running bio-pellets so a skimmer is necessary. So far it seems to be pretty stable and I'm still surprised I was able to jam it in there. I'm still going to be looking at other options down the road.
  19. The instructions are clear as day and easy to use, the kits are well labeled and a big plus is that you can buy the reagents separate when you run out rather than having to buy the whole kit over again.
  20. I just picked up the Red Sea Calc, Alk and Mg kit when Quantum did their recent sale and I prefer it to my salifert.
  21. Why not just get a new dry side for the MP10? All of my vortechs are whisper quiet
