Yes. Cheato has been in the Fuge for a week now with 24 hour 10 watt PC over it. The little self ballasting bulb, kinda pinkish light. Has a lot of Pods in it already. I am going to pick up the Kalk tomorrow and work with it over the weekend and I will give you updates. If I can get away with...

Oh of cource. I couldn't imagine dumping in 750ml of part 2 bionic at once lol. Luckily, I did not have to do this. I am now at 450 cal. 10 Dkh alk. Ph still 8.0 daytime, 7.8 nighttime though.

Do not be shocked to see between .004 - .010 variation error on swing arms! I see it all the time at work when people come in because all their crabs just died and I find their salinity is 1.034!! Soak your swing arm in distilled white vinegar overnight and and deposits should be removed. I have...

WOW! Awesome calculator!!

No need to "what if". I have SPS growing under PCs and are doing very nice. From the travel from the April meeting, the tips of all the pieces turned white. Currently, all the tips are almost back to full color and some pieces are starting to form branch buds. The meeting was only a week and a...

Thanks for the info! You never posted the website for the calculator...

OK, so what do I do to raise the Ph but not the ALK?

I just recovered for a high ALK issue. It was caused by using Reefchem 8.3 Ph buffer in the purple jar. Maybe a small amount of this will beef up your ALK a bit? Just a though, dont know if this will help or hurt.

Think I should do Kalk to get the Ph up a bit? Umm, what is the URL? ;D

Depends on how big they are for one. It is much better to feed multiple small amounts then one large amount. In the wild, fish graze all day long. They do not stuff their mouths then surf the currents all day. Just watch how they feed. Do they finish all their food in less then a minute? If...

Can also surround the zenia with rubble so it spreads on it. This way it it easy to split and frag off. Then you can give/trade to unknowing new people to the hobby!!! MUAHAhahaha!!! ;D Angels are real good at keeping zenia well groomed also lol.

Are you supplimenting iodide/iodine?

People tend to dislike them because they grow like a weed and it is a lot of work to mow your yard and your tank!

Glad to hear it!

PH on the test from outside went up by maybe .1 higher then the inside test. The ALK has settled out at 10 dkh now. Ph daytime is 8.0, Ph first thing in the morning is 7.8. I have started back with adding B-ionic but the alk buffer to calcium buffer ratio is offset a lot. I can add 5 ml calcium...

One of the guys I work with careless and was stung on his hand. Said in about 5 minutes, his whole arm burned. Pain took 3 days to go away. Then for the next 2 weeks, like a time released capsule, he would move his hand in what ever wierd way and the pain would come back.

I have a waterfall coming of the refugium section but apparently not enough. Air bubbles not an issue, I have a bubble trap that works great. The noise is an issue being that the tank is about 6" away from my head when I sleep lol. Main tank is drilled on the back. Then PVC down through a ball...

That crab you mentioned sounds like a Tonga hermit crab. They can get bigger then the regular scarlet or blue leg and do a great job at cleaning.

This is a 15 gal nano. my sump is a 10 gal tank which takes up most of my stand. I am thinking I can make something like you described but in a nano size! ;D Probably be around a gallon container. Also, I am picking up my cheato today so I am hoping that the refugium will handle the CO2 issue.

Picking the fish was easy for me. I love Fire fish. Always wanted a pair. My next choice would have been Banjjaii <sp> Cardinals.
