![]() Anyone has experienced with the decrease in ph level when using pellets.
Since the day i start to use the pellets i notice my ph keep dropping slowly which i never experience before. Here are my parameters Mg: 1400 Calc: 400 AlkL:9-10 Nitrate: < 5 I using two part dosing. What can i do to help with my ph? Thanks |

![]() I started using the NPx pellets 2 days ago in a Vertex Uf-20 reactor, did anyone notice how long it took for their skimmer to return to being able to produce skimmate?
Right now its just rapid bubble popping at the top no foam head at all. |

![]() Running about 600ml of the smaller NP pellets in a 150 gallon system so about a month and a half. Using a TLF reactor hooked up off of a manifold powered by my Eheim 1260 return. Pellets churn like crazy and without the trusty Eheim breaking a sweat.
My nitrates were creeping up towards 30ppm after an all out SPS crash and there was nothing I could do to stop the rise. Nitrates now at 20ppm but won't budge any lower. I tossed out many corals that were on their way out which would have helped as well. Going to add a bit more pellets. Still cyano hanging around with a few tufts of HA. I've been adding Zeobak as directed and occasionally add Coral Snow as well. |

![]() I picked up a TLF 150 with 300 ml of pellets from RIPTANK. (Thanks man)He was using hydor L20 pump... I noticed the pellets moving in somewhat of a solid form....about 2/3 the way up the reactor. I switched out to a Maxijet and now I notice more vigorous tumbling and about 7/8 up the reactor.
Any feedback on the proper pump setup for this system. I'm running a 90G. He had been running the system for 2 months
