  Are the little red nipples on the ends there to try to reduce crusting up? I haven’t fitted them on mine, but have considerable buildup from my RZ Complete…

  No, I think they're just there to hold the tube in place. Do you dilute your RZ 50/50 with rodi water? If not, that should fix it.

  I've been using it on my Cade tank for a few months and it hasn't clogged up yet. But some alk solutions will clog up lines over time. Kalkwaser is the worst for that I've ever had - all others seem to be OK and still dispense liquid even if the tip goes a bit crusty.

  Off topic, but do you know much about the bubble magus curve 5? It's constantly overflowing since i added UV. Ive tried lifting it up at various heights and it continues to bubble up fast and water literally builds up in the cup. Ive taken the hose drain stop off to let it drain back into the sump and left it for a while to see if it would right itself. It hasn't so I switched ito off for 2 days. Just tried it again today and irs no different. Its switched back off now.

  Sand the bottom of those middle bars, get some super glue and accelerator spray and glue the mesh? Then after remove the ties. If that wouldn't be secure enough, get another bar if you have more, and sandwich the mesh between them with an adhesive (I'd use a few spots of something that sets fast like super glue, combined with a stronger slower curing adhesive of some sort). That way it should look clean with no cable ties

  I saw the Frag Box video on the lights coming on in the middle of the night and checked mine (the app records when the light is on). Mine was fine. Reef Factory has updated the app recently and I think they've made it worse. It's still very good but it's a bit more messy now. I went through a spell about 6 months ago when the app was giving me problems - wouldn't connect to some of my dosing pumps intermittently for example. I think that issue was quite widespread and went on for a while so pissed a lot of people off! I still like the app but they need to pull their finger out. Build quality on their newer devices is better than before too but still not as good as I'd like (except for the lights which are solid). I'm less excited by new stuff from them now than I used to be so I think they've got work to do.

  I’ve owned the Axis 40 for the past 7 months. *great pump* , but here’s a product issue I’ve run into! The date resets to February 7th, 2160. Clearly, a bit gets flipped from a 1 to a 0 somewhere lol. It happens rarely with no known cause, but once it starts happening changing the date on the app just doesn’t work. I had to unplug the thing and plug it back in to get it to chill. Then after a few weeks or month, the issue mysteriously reappears. Now, it only messed with schedules…. So all I did was place it in its own “tank” and had all my other AI products run in the main tank where the time and date is always correct. That way if the pump date resets, it doesn’t shut the lights off or anything. Super annoying, rare mystery bug you’ll see some talk about online. AI had sent replacement pumps for free to most I’ve seen… I’ve just kept mine because I want to find out what the issue is and determine a fix by hacking the pump to ignore it’s internal date and reference another equipment’s date instead to develop a workaround

  Have you tried both? Why is it that you can only use kalk based on what your evaporation is. I just can get my evaopation figured out exactly since I top off by hand. but bought an ato. Isnt it an xtra expense with kalkwasser needing a stirrer or what ever its called. its called. I am definitely changing, just not sure which. How do you dose kalk. i heard ato is old school and not a good way. Can you hand dose it? My ph is iusally 7.8 to 8 so I love the ph benefit i would get but at the same time it could be dangerous if some how overdosed. Brs warns people to buy a ph probe! I have read so many review that people have said theeir corals have exploded with growth with AFR! So The owner or ceo says its the essential element but I do about about 35 % wc bi weekly so not even sure if I need the elements

• 
  @ReefDorkXtraАй бұрын

  Check out my Kalkwasser guide video for a simple explanation. I've made a few vids that should explain it more simply. I have used both, yeah. It's not that you dose kalk based on your evaporation, you're just limited to how much you can dose by your evaporation limit. Kalk is a freshwater solution so if you lose 1 litre per day of freshwater to evaporation and add 4 litres per day of kalkwasser, you'll dilute your salt which will reduce your salinity. So in that example, you can only dose up to 1 litre of kalk per day. You don't need a stirrer, you can just mix kalk in a tub and dose it out of that - dead cheap. pH probes are good to have but very much not essential - I ran kalk in 3 tanks without a probe. All For Reef doesn't do anything special, it's just a dosing solution with trace elements like many others. It won't increase your pH, kalk will.
