  1. Hi Reefers,  quick question please.  My condo is scheduling a power outage for maintenance from 9 to 5pm. 

    What can I get by with and cannot and what can be done about those that I cannot?  An Uninterrupted Power Supply unit can't power up a chiller and lights can it?

    Thanks so much!

    My hammer all doing well before i start nopox. I start SPS so i dose nopox and my hammer start receded and leave the skeleton. Any idea?Is it pospate too low?

    Stories are too similar, I'm now more convinced it's the NoPox and the low / undetectable phosphate levels. 

  3. I'd like to add in here too.  I'm new and my first coral was a 2-head hammer.  It did extremely well until 2 weeks ago, it started to wither.  I'm baffled.  I thought it was my nitrates that were too high.  I went on a nitrate extermination drive with NoPox and Orca Lab Nitraguard.  All the other corals are doing well still, except for the poor hammer.  I do expect casualties, but I want to understand what I did wrong.  My parameters were always within normal sea-water levels.  My Nitrates are now 5 ppm and undetectable Phosphates.  I googled "Zero Phosphates Hammer Dying" and got a couple of hits that the zero phosphates are the issue.  Any idea?

  4. Thanks for your helpful comments.  I was advised to use an Arctica 1/5.  Supplier seem to recognize noise level issues.  Seems like the 1/4 hp range are noisier.  Crossing my fingers!  But yes, most people I speak to at LFS says it's something they all contend with especially with their better halves! 

  5. Just got my Redsea Reefer 350 set-up yesterday.  The return pump, a SICCE 4.0 Silent, was anything but silent.  And the TECO TK1000...super noisy.  The tank is located in the living room.  Wife cannot take it.  Asked me to give up and sell everything!!  Anyone has the same experience with the SICCEE Silent?  Any quiet return pumps to recommend?  The Chiller, is ARCTICA a lot quieter?  Help please....desperate! :)
