Just bought a replacement Water Blaster HY-5000 pump for the Reef Octopus CR-5000D from Aquacave. Will see how this goes. I'll swap it out, deep clean, and save as a backup. The loud humming is bothering me actually. I hope I don't have to move this monster CaRx from underneath the tank!Still figuring out why the CaRx is too loud. Going to buy another pump just in case.
I have some coral skeletons on the bottom of the first chamber swirling around - no big deal and will quiet down. It's the humming sound of the pump, resonating thru the elevated board within the stand that's bothering me. I've tried to put a sound absorbing mat but that didn't work.Is it the humming from the motor or the sound of bubbles propagating through the unit that you can hear? That is a pretty big pump, I wonder if it is the hum if you could just use like a Varios 2 or something. You really dont need very high flow through the reactor. Interested to see how your new pump performs.
Hey BBShould be ok ? naso's generally not that aggressive
Nope - currently don't have ORP, never watched this. I understand that my pH is low (or need to re-calibrate my pH probe). I've been thinking about ways to increase pH actually.Do you have an ORP probe? If not, I would get one and add ozone. I would back off of the vodka dosing except for the portion that goes to the reefer![]()
