Thanks for the advice...So I wound up just turning it off for 24 hours and really cleaning it out well. Started it back up about 20 min. ago. At first the problem was still there. I tuned it wide open and it looks like it is working just fine now.

So all of a sudden my PM skimmer is shooting out micro bubbles from the output. I took it out, cleaned and inspected it, and put it back together. All the parts look "a" ok. I have not added any supplements other than the stuff I usually use. I have had it for 5 months running fine and last night I noticed my tank was kinda cloudy and its the skimmer shooting out a major load of micro bubbles. I added some new frags last night but I have never had that affect my skimmer before. All my corals look ok, fish are fine just water sucks. Nitrates at 0, Phosphates 0, Ammonia 0, calcium 450, pH 8.2. I am at a loss. The only thing I can compare it to is when you add this stuff and it makes your skimmer make bubbles for days if you don't turn it off, of course I have not used this though. Any thoughts or concerns. I am going to go ahead and turn the skimmer off for a while until I get a reply. I have a video on my phone but the file it to large to load on the board. Boyd Chemi-Clean

So let me ask this. In theory, I have not tried and I have zero experience to speak up on this, do you need to worry about the bubble count in the calcium reactor if you are running a pH controller? It seems that if the pH goes out of acceptable range the controller will flip the CO2 off thus cutting off calcium affecting the pH. Can anyone explain why or why not this may be true? Thanks for all advice

Nice link, everyone should view this! thanks

I would just like to get some opinions on metal halide bulbs. 250w to be exact. What brands does everyone prefer and where do you get your data from? I am running a Galaxy 250 dual electronic balast. Thanks for your input in advance.

I have a precision marine RFCa6 w eheim 1250 pump, tank, solenoid, valve, bubble counter ect. Tank is full, Media is full, pretty much plug and play. 1 year old. $700...The reactor with nothing was $800.00 PM if interested

Thanks for all your feed back, I think I will try a combo of peppermint shrimp and fish to do it naturally...if that does not work then I will hit them with some aiptasia-x. thanks again for you guys input

Wondering if anyone can give me some good feed back on this product or have any other recommendations? Any feedback would be great pertaining to getting rid of this stuff.

I have been doing some research on this myself today. Here is a link to youtube on how to make reef rock. There are two peoples that I like hotvws3 and eddiekern are two names that do the best jobs explaining how to do it. hotvws3 takes forever to explain things in a 5 part series but worth watching. GARF.org is also a good site. http://www.youtube.c...arch_type=&aq=f
