| Q.
What
is the correct way to mix Kalkwasser? Thanks for your time,
Ken. |
| A.
Purchase
a 5 gallon bucket, mix 1 teaspoon of kalkwasser to 1 gallon
of ro/di water. Mix the solution for 2 hours with a powerhead.
Siphon off the clear liquid of kalkwasser and drip very
slowly to prevent a pH spike. |
| Q.
What
is HLLE? |
| A.
HLLE
is hole in head and lateral line erosion. The fish develops
holes in its head and in some cases along it lateral line. The
disease is caused from stress, poor water quality and nutritional
deficiency. |
| Q.
I
just purchased a 125 gallon tank which included a wet/dry filter.
I want to setup a reef tank. Will this be fine? Thank you, Mike. |
| A.
No,
The bacteria will form on the live rock and denitrification
takes place inside the rock. A wet/dry will produce nitrate
over time which can harm your reef at high levels. |
| Q.
What
is the Jaubert type system? |
|
A.
It consists of having
a plenum on the bottom of your tank where denitrification
takes place, then place 2" of crushed coral and 1"
of live sand on top.
