Red sea states that you can not store their coral pro salt mixed in water for more than 12 hours otherwise you will get precipitation. So why then does the alk and calcium not precipitate in our tanks at 12 hours after a water change?

So I have been using a API nitrate test since I first started my tank, it has seemed pretty reliable but it has just run out so I thought id try the red sea pro test, bought the kit with phosphate aswell.
The issue I'm having is that the API test was saying my nitrates are at 10 but I've just...

So I bought the reefwave a month ago and now am experiencing problems with it suddenly stopping completely when it alternate to reverse flow. I had it on forwards 10% and reverse 20% and it was working normally then out of the blue it stops whenever it switches to reverse.
I tried setting a...
Decided I would finally join the forum! Thought it seemed appropriate to start a thread and share a short video and pics of my current tank, if I'm going to be a member of the community :)
My RedSea Reefer 425XL has been running since April 2018. It's my second reef. My first tank was a 20g...
I've been considering altering my approach to fall in-line with one of the reef programs available. For example there's the Red Sea program, Zeovit, and Triton.
What do people think about this? My approach has always been custom ... mixing brands, plotting my own course. But I can see the...
Hi all here's my little journey in reefing. I'm located here in Houston Tx and with a lot of great local reef groups and stores. My main place to go is ocean life aquariums. Store owner Nick and all the employees are great people, very negligible, and super helpful. always has awesome coral and...
Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new here and just sharing. Here is a thread for my RedSea 750. I live in Santa Rosa CA and would love to meet other north bay reefers. I’ll start with a couple of videos with current tank progress:
So, I have been looking for a while to get back into things. About 7-8 years ago, before kids 2 and 3, I had a 29 gallon biocube. Ended up breaking that down. A couple of months ago, I got the "itch" for a bigger tank to go on a long wall that we have in our house (new house for us as of 2...
Hi there!
I run two Red Sea ReefLed 90 on my Reefer 350. I use the Mounting arms from red sea as well.
I was wondering if somebody could help me to get a good lighting plan for my reef.
Currently they run at 100% (with clouds) following the attached schedule.
I am struggeling with Dinos at the...
D contains Silver, Gold, Vandium and Tungsten, which red sea says is used in the production of blue/purple chromoproteins (pociliporin , diadinoxanthin and dinoxanthin). I am curious as to whether anyone else thinks that this bottle is completely unnecessary. Their Trace color C has Iron and...
So I ordered a Reefer about a month ago and ordered my skimmer at the same time. My LFS ordered me the RSK-300 that their supplier was on back order. So ive waited about 2-3weeks while my tank cycled. Got the call yesterday that my skimmer came in. So today went and picked it up got home to...
So after 4 years with the JBJ45 gallon AIO and all the rookie mistakes I made on it, I have decided to start fresh with a Reefer 350. I got a great deal on this used Reefer 350 tank that the previous owner was using for fresh water fish for some reason. Because he didn't need a sump, it didn't...
went from a 31x31x15 tank to a redsea reefer. I'm running the schedule in pics but I'm wandering if I should run something more intense 4 prime 16s.
I just transferred all the livestock from my old tank to the reefer 425lx today.
Also anyone. done any diy refugium in a stock redsea tank.

Just wondering if anyone can help me out, I’m not sure if I have a crack or what it could be and if I should be worried or not I have no water leaking just not sure if it could turn into a big problem or if I’m just being a perfectionist check out the video and help me out! Thanks!
Hi everyone,
We just bought a new home (Santa Rosa CA) last fall and decided it was time to upgrade our reef tank. Spent a great deal of time looking at tanks at the LFS and online. Finally settled on the Reefer 750 XXL. One small problem, they were on back order on almost every site I tried...

Let me know what you guys think. I have not had a tank in a while so just...
After 10 years in this hobby with a BioCube29, I’ve wanted to eventually upgrade for a while. I finally took the plunge and ordered a Red Sea REEFER 625 Deluxe during all the “Black Friday” deals!
I’m so excited! :D
So this is gonna be my build thread, and it’s meant for fellow reefers and...
Hey guys i am trying to get myself some led lights for black friday and was interested in the red sea leds. I have a 75 gal and plan on doing some sps near the top maybe going as far as half way down the tank and was wondering if anyone had these lights. Theres is a model 50 and model 90 i was...
