Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You use one pump per container so It depends om what you are adding. If you are adding Alk and Ca then you will need two pumps and two containers as you can't premix the Alk and Ca.

The one I bought is two pumps and I'm planning to dose All For Reef in one and, probably, Mg in the other. Not sure yet on the second as I'm still getting my dosing right with the AFR so not sure if I'll need the Mg or not.
This makes complete sense and is very helpful Tom. Sometimes I like to get a confirmation on even the easy steps before I start something lol. Im probably going to go with AFR, even with the success im having with 2 part. If so, ill probably do AFR and mag as well.
 
We love the video. Tell John Jr thanks for the video from us.
Thank yall! I sure will tell him, my friend. That will make his whole day. He loves the spotlight :)
 
I think im going to break down and buy a doser, even though I usually like to keep it hands on. Im looking at the hydros, or Kamoer F1 but then do I need one for each individual solution that I dose? Then what would I keep the solution in as a reservoir?

what kinda of job do you have that’s allows you to be on this site when your at work . Lol !! 🤣
The kind where im running the show lol

Correction alert!🚨 It was @JoJosReef that recommended the freeze dried black worms, I said Matt. I will now crawl back under the rock for whence I came.
Kinda of what he says when Michigan stomps Ohio state !!
The part about him crawling under a rock . 😎

Nice !
 
All my heaters are broken.. I have one very very small one, like 40 watts.
Just take out the water for the change in a five gallon bucket and heat it in your house

I'll try. My family took most of my buckets and abused them. There all dirty except for a few. They'd never put them back after they used them.

You could use the one from your tank, it wouldn’t take long in that volume of water and when the water hits a good temp put it back in your tank. Your tank won’t be affected in the short time, I’ve had 1-2 hour power outages.

Luckily that shouldn't happen in the foreseeable future !
