I've been reading lots of old posts, and have actually been trying to read some here and there over the past year. I just haven't really been involved much.  Sorry gang.....there is just sooooo much to read!! lol
I neglected to mention in my first post that it is a 38gal tank that I have. I am running it with a Marineland cannister C-220, a Seaclone 100 skimmer and I have a small powerhead inside for more flow. Levels have been consistently good forever except my nitrates have always remained in the 30 range. This is what led me to attempt a DIY refugium, which I posted about in the DIY thread with a few questions....tho now after reading it again and thinking some more I do think I posted the flow rate higher than what it actually is. I think the rate of flow is a lot closer to 100gph as opposed to the 380 I wrote. Anyway.....if anyone has any advice about it I'd be eternally grateful!
I am fortunate to have a local shop that has been very helpful with advice, and they really have an extensive array of reef tanks in their store so I have to think they know what they're doing.
Anyway......thanks for the welcome! |
I meant new to the forum. You're way more advanced than I am with tanks, and hopefully, you'll be around for the do's and don'ts, and I can pick your brain. I'm still looking at what crabs to buy! I hope to see you around the threads!
