BRStv Investigates
The BRStv Investigates video series is an ongoing exploration of popular reef tank theories, methods and equipment. Randy, Ryan and the team create experiments in the BRS lab and share the results about a variety of saltwater aquarium topics so you can separate the fact from fiction.

Every calcium reactor has a primary chamber that recirculates CO2 and melts the calcium reactor media, however, some reactors have a secondary reaction chamber intended to be filled with...Read more
We looked at the effects of heating and circulating premixed saltwater during storage by monitoring calcium and alkalinity levels over a 2 week period. We also observed the amount of precipitate...Read more
What is that precipitation crust in my saltwater storage bin? It's a common question among many reefers who store mixed saltwater, but do all salt mixes create precipitate-precipitation? Today on...Read more
We believe that the easiest way to adjust a calcium reactor is by changing the flow rate, but what does that actually do inside the reactor? Today, we find out the effect of different flow rates on...Read more
We are expanding our investigative testing on some of our most popular salt mixes by seeking to answer two questions about how long to mix saltwater. 1. Do salt mixes fully dissolve...Read more
For those reefers mixing small batches of saltwater and using it rather quickly after mixing, worrying about the Alkalinity and Calcium parameters shifting is typically not a...Read more
Today we set to finally solve some unknowns surrounding Calcium Reactors in order to help make them easier to understand and easier for you to use with your reef tank. In this investigative episode,...Read more
The table below was recorded in February of 2019 and is representative of salt mix costs at that time. The cost per month model is defined by 10% weekly water changes in a 100 gallon tank which...Read more
