I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I would put the carbon in a bag (preferably in an area of upward flow) and gfo in the reactor.

Is anything happening to your fish or inverts or are they all fine? What type of corals are you losing?

Lots of very experienced reefers there in Edm. Hopefully, someone can help you out and find what might be causing your problem.

Are you still flying? I remember a while back you were concerned with how busy your life was getting.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I have lost two fish in the last 6 months. The rest look fine.

Corals are all and anything. Palys. SPS (all). LPS (acans,torch,brain,candy cane ).

Hey pat. You still using water straight from the tap?

If so give it a few tests. Water quality could have changed.

Yep, correct! In my own tank I run 3 reactors. If space is a concern you can always tie 2 (or 3) off the same pump, in parallel or in sequence.
