Aquarium Maintenance and Troubleshooting Series: Part 3

If you have read the first two parts of our aquarium maintenance and troubleshooting series let me first start off by saying thanks.  If you haven’t and this is the first article you are reading let me tell you that you picked a good topic.  I don’t know one saltwater aquarium owner that has not had to battle with nitrates at one point in an aquariums life span.

If you have a Fish only tank then you don’t really have to worry about nitrates as much as they don’t both fish in the same way they affect invertebrates and coral.  You can safely have nitrate levels above 50ppm in a tank with only fish.  If you have a cleanup crew or corals you really need to keep that number as close to 0ppm as you can. read more....

Aquarium Maintenance and Troubleshooting Series: Part 1

When you first start your saltwater aquarium things are always good.  You don’t have to worry about pesky issues like high nitrates and hair algae, or red slime and phosphates.  That’s why we decided to partner with our friends at OCReef and do some articles on basic aquarium maintenance and problem troubleshooting. 

The first thing we are going to talk about is water changes.  This is the key to healthy aquarium.  I run a 37 gallon saltwater and I change about 5-6 gallons per week.  That may be a little much but I highly recommend doing a water change every 2 weeks or so.  The process of doing a water change is exactly that, you take out a few gallons of water and replace it with new water.  I would recommend doing about 20% of your total water volume.  So for example if you have a 40 gallon tank you would change 8 gallons every 2 to 4 weeks depending on your water parameters. read more....

Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper Elite

The ReefKeeper Elite is true to its name, standing alone in the industry as the most innovative aquarium controller on the market. With the most intuitive interface and easy to use system controls, you’ll find it will simplify all aspects of your aquarium system that it controls. There’s also no need to find a power outlet near the head unit as there’s no power cord needed; power is provided right from the bus. The compact and convenient design, multiple mounting options and great looks makes the ReefKeeper Elite right for almost any installation; and without any unsightly probe wires dangling about, the head unit will add a touch of class to any tank!

The ReefKeeper is the most expandable controller we know of, allowing the control of over 250 outlets. It has the capability of reading more probes and input devices than even the most demanding system will ever need. All this makes the RKE suitable for tanks from 1 to 10,000 gallons and beyond.

One of the biggest advantages of the RKE system is what it comes with! Other controllers leave you wanting and having to purchase add-ons just to get them to a usable level. The RKE system includes two PC4s; that’s 8 outlets to control! You also get an SL1 that will allow you to monitor pH, ORP, temperature and two switches; not to mention a free temperature probe and pH probe. All this for hundreds of dollars less than other controllers that barely give you enough to get started. read more....
