Sometimes in a reef tank one would like the pH to be higher. There are many ways to do it and one way is fairly easy, increase oxygen and decrease carbon oxides. We use this method on a BRS CO2 scrubber and it works great for a basement tank where the room air gets old and is not as fresh as it should be.

Ever wonder how fish and invertebrates can disappear over night?
Ever lost a fish and/or shrimp overnight and they seem to just vanish? Well it’s due to things like this. Here a tongue coral eats a molted shrimp skeleton in less then an hour; if we had not seen this on camera it would have been gone and recorded as a missing one.

Another real good video on Reef LED Lighting
Since the topic is very hot lately we thought we share a good overview video on LED lighting. This video really helps show the high points of LED and what to consider if your going to use them in your tank.

AI Vega LED light review article
We have been watching the numerous LED lights on the market for the last few years and as Metal Halides die off and LED take over the improvements we are seeing are great. We will on our reef evaluate the AI Vega LEDS but for now here is a good review by others.

Pretty Cool Idea
The people over at BRS are really thinking. This invention allows for the RO DI water to be made and then afterward it goes through these two add on stages and the monitor makes it the correct specific gravity that you set it too, pretty cool RO DI SALTWATER.

Great new video released on Hanna Testers
We just released the video on what we do weekly for testing on our tanks.
The Hanna testers are our favs but you can use other test too.

ASTERINA WHITE STARFISH
Ahh hated by some and loved by others, but definitely one of the sea life critters lots of us have.
ASTERINA STARS, white starfish crawling around on your glass. Asterinas are mostly friendly in our tanks and are good, but there are some types that eat coral. If they are cruising your glass, they are probably algae eaters.
