my question is what am I missing.. do I need phosban reactor?? just seems cant get certain things to open like the suns' Used to open a lot now stay closed. as well as my duncans.. had a spike in sG to 1.27. alk 8.1 calc. 425.

Welcome To Reef Central

I have asked this thread be moved to the Reef Discussions or Newbie area. You have wandered into the The Lounge which is for non reef discussions.
