Thanks for the reply! I actually found a deal in my local group and bought two ice cap doses for $60. I'll be using one to dose kalkwasser for now and save the second for later.
Nice deal!! Someone showed me some hospira medical pumps . They're on ebay . They're actually cheaper than aquarium dosers and a lot more reliable
That makes sense that they would be more reliable. Anything made for aquariums usually has an inflated price haha
Very true. I may look into one for the future . Lights are next on my list haha
If you are looking for affordable lights that will give you growth for now and allow you time to upgrade your lights later look at the Odyssea fixtures for t5 or the Mars Aqua led fixtures on ebay.
Iv already seen them. They're not really what I'm looking for . Got any other suggestions for lighting?
I currently use an ATI Sunpower and I love it. There are so many options out there though that are good and that makes it difficult to decide haha. A lot of the led fixtures are more controllable and you can simulate different times of the day if you want. For me I just want good coral growth and a decent price so that's why I went with t5s and use led supplementation
If you don't mind me asking. How much was your ATI fixture?
Mines a 60" 4 bulb fixture and I think it was around $460. The one I got doesn't have a built in timer so it has two cords and is plugged into timers.
That's not too bad. How many gallons is your tank?
It's 135 gallons. 72"x18"x24" it would have been better for me to get a 6 bulb fixture instead of 4 for better coverage but 4 leaves me with space to supplement.
My tank is wayyyyyy smaller than yours haha. Iv got a 45 bowfront
Haha yea. I'm telling ya those Mars Aqua fixtures are great. That's what I have over my frag tank and I only run the blues at 30% and no white at all because the fixture is so darn strong lol.
I guess I'll have to seriously consider them. I haven't looked into them very much.
Good luck! Happy reefing!
You too . Thanks for the advice
