Thank you for the compliments. I have been keeping close watch on the alk and calcium. Alk was around 11 back when I was manual dosing and zoas were starting to retract/close up. I have alk between 8-9 dKh right now, calcium hovers right around 400ppm. Everything seems happier now. I don't...

So I'm just about done, and it only took 2 years :) Here's my build... I've pretty much built everything myself that I possibly could, i.e. stand, canopy, scrubber, LEDs, etc... The tank finally matured these past few months (or I should say I matured) and stuff is finally starting to grow and...

Thanks guys, I appreciate your advice.

its definitely the floor, tank stand sits about 4" off the wall. I expected a little movement, but seeing a 90g tank move even a little bit in person scares the heck outta me... especially with little ones running around. Tank and stand are still level.

Are these jacks available at home depot? the crawl space has a concrete floor, so that should help.

OK, thanks, as for the jacks, should I empty some of the water out to reduce the weight before I start jacking it up, or just make it snug where it is? Maybe a couple jacks supporting a 4x4 across the joists? I can do some carpentry, but when it comes to home construction I'm clueless. Thanks...

Ok, I'm asking for some advice before I come home to a disaster. The tank sits in an addition on my house, maybe 7 or 8 years old, there's a cross space underneath. This hobby is not kid friendly... I got a 90g reef in my den and as all of you with little boys know... they run, jump, wrestle and...

Nope. Tank was started with LEDs, Under LEDs from the frag tank I got it from. Same goes with my previous tank... nano... LEDs. It's all I've ever owned since I gutted my nano hood 2 years ago :) As far as acclimation, yes, I started real low and slowly ramped them up over the course of about...

Yeah, I'm not denying impatience. I'm just curious... with whites off, all zoas open up, LPS looks incredibly puffy and nice, even more daytime polyp extension from a few of the acro frags I got. I mix more white than blue, regardless of intensity, polyps retract, zoas pucker up. Just getting...

Got a DIY LED Fixture, just wanted to see if anyone else has had this experience... LED colors: 450nm Royal Blues, 465nm Cool Blues, 420nm Violets, 495nm Cyan/Turqoise, 5000k nuetral whites, 660nm(?) deep reds I've killed the reds, didn't see any positive effect. All other colors have been...

Last post got deleted, I'm assuming I posted in the wrong section? My apologies. Nice Pink Acro, I have 2 or 3 of these... ~ 1.5"-2" Watermelon type chalice, still coloring up, bright neon green eyes and grows bright neon green outer ring Bloody Sunday Chalice, very metallic Red with...

All told true, but to be fair I had quite a few changes going on prior to my crash and was not privy to a good QT process. Also had a few months with red sea coral pro where everything looked ok in the 90. Trying to figure out the cause has been like nailing jello to a tree. I have since...

Do we have an update on the tank? Just curious. Same issues here, I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the LEDs or ich treatment. Which LEDs did you add? About 2 weeks or so prior to my crash I threw 14 cool blues 470-480nm and 10 417nm violet actinics. I ran them very low, maybe no...

Was using API in the nano, the 90 wasn't running carbon for two or three weeks prior to crash. It is now though.

TDS meter reading 5ppm in my RO water.

I will go out today for a copper test. I ordered a TDS meter for my RO which should be in today/tomorrow. Temp is stable at 78, haven't seen any spikes and I check often. I suspected either some type of metal or toxin in the water. Wife swears she hasn't used anything in the den and my 2 yr...

I was using red sea, this happened at the end of my bucket, parameters were always stable with it, highly doubt salt contributed. Dipped roughly 50 or so nudis of 3 small montis, theres not much left, I doubt what I have left is gonna make it through. Just baffled why lps went as well, I think...

Looking for some guidance here... Had a major tank crash in my nano, brought a few frags in from a couple different places on the same day, threw them in my nano with out dipping and next day... major problems. All my LPS were shriveled up. I noticed my montiporas receding with white patches...

George, I'm in the same boat as you, almost to a T. I added more LEDs to my kit as well. Steve's LEDs. I think I may have amped them up too fast, as things were looking really good for about two weeks. I hit roughly 45% on my controller and next day bam! my palys told me they got too much...

No worries, I just started this thread to see where it'd go and maybe give others some ideas... Currently got them down to 70%, excuse the tank while its under construction... lol
