I'm over a year currently on my mantis tanks. I still try to do monthly wc's on my reef for trace elements ect.
After running the HOG1 for about a year it seems the growth got into the airline tube that feeds the wet side. I cleaned the slit up portions during harvests but the clog seems to be in the tube...
Yeah, algae needs co2 in trace amounts. PH is a function of alk and co2 though and with 10dkh which is higher than I really like running the ph still barely breaks 8 during the day even with the co2...
Done. How long should it take to fill out?
It's being driven by http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/MAG-40518.html with all outlets being combined down to a single line which according to the documentation is 549 cubic inches per...
So far growth has started, but it has been very very slow. This is with running the lights 18 hours a day since setup.

Well tonight has officially hit 7 days from initial setup and I still don't see any growth. There are a ton of bubbles going through it and the lights are running for 18 hours a day and I know the...
Yeah, mostly just trying to track down issues. Since adding it I've noticed all my acros seem to close up and lost a few to overnight rtn. I've barrage tested for everything and the only thing that...
Well after having really good results with the HOG1 in my peacock mantis tank I got one of the initial batches of the surf2 which showed up Monday and was immediately hooked up and is being driven...
After a week of having it setup properly I've noticed no real change in growth. I cut down the lighting time to 10 hours so I'll see where it is next weekend.
Derps that would explain that. Flipped it around so guess I'll see where we are next weekend. Also looking at getting some more for other tanks....my stomapod addictions kinda getting crazy. Will...
I got a HOG1 through premium aquatics about a month ago now as the primary filtration for my acrylic 40g peacock mantis tank. Since I set it up the tank lights are on from 5pm to 11pm and when they...
Yeah I was planning on using both sides of the sump since one side was originally setup as a fuge and the opposite side a skimmer chamber with the return in the middle. Should be able to do 14x11 on...
Mostly trying to avoid it as 1 less thing to maintain if possible. If I end up needing it I can prolly grab a cheap SRO or ASM skimmer to throw in but wanna see how far I can go without one. Yeah I...
I picked up a 125 for a pretty good deal to branch out from my 100g sps tank and start a predatory FOWLR tank. I'm planning to run it purely with an ATS for filtration if possible to help control...
