A new product..

I have them, but I am waiting for the ORP meter to come in before I put it on the system. I'll let you know if I can tell a difference.

Well,
I want to give everyone an update on my tank. I have had the unit installed for about 2 months..

I did go out of town for a week and my tank was not dosed with the proper stuff until I got back.. So it's hard to say if the results I'm now seeing is due to my not being home to care for it or not..

My leather is retracted, I'm seeing some green algea tuffs.
I'm also seeing what looks a bit like bleaching. It's hard to say exatly what is causing this. I will watch my tank and keep everyone posted. I do water changes about once a week, and I did one last night. It was several days overdue.

So, I'm still undecided.. on this. There are so many things that contribute to a healthy tank, it can be hard to pin point what is making it better or worse. I guess that's why I love this hobby. It's never boring.

I'll keep everyone posted. I hope my tank decline is not due to this unit, otherwise I will feel really bad about my earlier review.

Either way, I'll keep it real and keep everyone updated.

I just hooked the unit up. I used a milwaukee ORP that I am sure has to be run for a while. It read 128mv in the salt water and 210 in tap water. Sounds really low to me...? The tanks have numerous corals in them that are doing well. Anyway, it said the probe needed to soak for a while before it becomes accurate. I'll keep you informed if I notice any change.

When I first hooked up mine (actually an aquazone ozonizer/controller - I don't use the ozone anymore) it took several days for probe to start reading accurately.

[Tim Marvin]

Good! I was thinking either the probe was bad, or my tanks were all in worse condition than I thought! I didn't believe the reading because the corals seem to be doing fine and growing.

OK, it has been running for a couple hours, and the skimmer has foam all over it. Also some foam in the filter box on the DAS tank. It has to be doing something as this skimmer has been set the same for months. I made no adjustments to the skimmer. I fed a little fish to the anemones, but it has never foamed up like this. I'll let you know tomorrow what is going on.

[Tim Marvin]

Well, I sold the DAS tank to John in south Austin. The hair was going away, and the water looked more clear. I'm not too sure if this filter was doing it or not.???

I'm now also on the fence.
I'm in the process of getting rid of my bio balls, and I'm having some water quality issues(low Calcium, low ph). I also do see hair algea.
I'm not sure it's doing much. I thought at first it was but now I'm not sure. Only time will tell.
