TOTM 2011 JANUARY - TexasTodd

It runs about 50% of the time while the halides are on.

Someone blogged on the magnesium. I just use just cheap epsome salt from Target. Don't worry about the sulfur too much, it's more of a big deal if you're using O3.

So what is your main reason for only using magnesium sulfate versus the mix of sulfate and chloride? Does it just come down to cost and ease of use? I would also like to know how you use this. Do you premix in RO or just add some in the sump?

Congrats and what a beautiful reefscape! What's the deal with the magic? I want a bag of that!!

[TexasTodd]

I actually have a 5 gallon bucket of the good stuff from BRS, but have still just been working through the box from Target. I ran the cheap stuff before and everything was fine.

I'm not saying what I do is "the best" way to do things. Yes, I just add some to the sump, in a separate are than where my return is, and it's very turbulent on that side with a small opening high up for transition of the water to the return area.

I suppose we need a disclaimer that the opinions of the TOTM owner do not always reflect best practices and it is your own risk if you choose to do the same or something!

Very Nice Todd! I will take one of those, one of those, that one, oh and that one too!

Hey Brian, babies LOVE to sit quietly in front of an aquarium! ;)

Thanks all, especially for the legal statement.

I so wanted to say that the entire time we were there.

When I came back for some more photos while Todd was out, I wanted to sneek in some bone cutters with me. Just a few snips here, and there, and over here.
