Dave, did you see this on reef builders. It looks cheap and easy, my two favorite words. http://reefbuilders.com/2010/02/23/rodi-calcium-carbonate-cartridge/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reefbuilders%2FCTjt+%28Reef+Builders%29&utm_content=Twitter

You need to test the effluent dkh until it is where you need it. Slowly lower the operating ph. Try 1 1/2 what you need it at and fine tune the ph from there. Ie 15 dkh etc... If the dkh is there the calcium is present as well. After you get that, you can speed up the effluent flow or lower the...

I have some aptasia x if you want to try it.

It might, but it would probably be a great cheato light. 

Yes you can add up the wattage but watts are only the amount of energy that is being used, not a good measurement of what the bulbs are outputting. Lumens is a better measurement of a bulbs output, but for photosynthetic organisms it is the par that matters. PAR is the amount of Photosynthetic...

What type of media? Koralin needs a lower ph than that. Try slowing down the effluent some.

Re: HELP – Aspect Ratio is Screwed Up I think you have an asus, there is a button at the top above the keyboard for that. If not, you might have to hit the fn key and a button in the top row. I think asus has a stand alone button though.

what is the glass tube? I don't recognize that sps?

Don't let the sand sit still long after washing it. You should use it right away to prevent it from going anerobic, which happens rather fast. Kind of like the old sand reactors.

I know my cyano issue is from old pc bulbs. They go bad so quick. I can't wait to go led.

The stuff I was mentioning is called nite out 2 by ecological laboratories.

You would make an excellent photojournalist, Phyl.

Obviously dump the water out. I would buy the microlift bacteria stuff. It seems to be better than the biospira, which I have used as well. My mom used it to cycle her tank and also when she had an ammonia spike and it took care of it well. I would pull the rocks and dunk them in fresh salt...

I would think long exposures (20-30 seconds or more) triggered by the timer at f8 would be a good starting point. I wouldn't open the aperture really wide because you would lose the depth of field.

ok, well a 10 gallon is too small for all of those fish. A 30 gallon would be better. Even a rubbermaid storage contain would be fine.

Hypo salinity or pull all of the fish and treat them for 6 weeks with paragaurd or some other ich treatment. I wouldn't treat the display due to contaminating the live rock if you ever want to have coral or any sensitive inverts.

I don't know if iron in the carbon will hurt anything. I dose iron daily.

I fed my fish yesterday twice as much as normal (which isn't really a lot as I am stingy) and I logging in today and saw that my orp had dropped about 15 down from the stable 310 to 295. After 12 hours it still is only at 300. This is the first time I have seen it drop that much from feeding. I...

Iron supplementation helps but only do half of what is recommended.
