Not at all. It is scary at times trying something new when everything seems to be stable. I do not like the feeling of not knowing what will come out of it. I have had issues where I have disrupted the balance of the system and have had troubles trying to get it back. I will say this is the best...

Ive also tried using regular tap water in my system and found it not to be the greatest idea.. I found it extremely difficult to try to maintain balanced levels of alk and cal. the hardness of my tap water would throw everything off... I have been using and RO/DI unit for about two years now and...

So I did my second dose of the Prodibio Bio Optim and the Bio Digest Sunday. I also began using the Reef booster Sunday night and here is what I have to say so far: THE STUFF IS GREAT!!! In only this two week span I have begun to see the colors in the corals increase. They look so much more...

I personally have had two. I started off with a blue one I picked up from OG2. It had slight recession when I bought it, more of a challenge for me to try and save. I feed it a mix of phyto rotifers, cylopeeze and rods food. I took a soda bottle 2 litter and cut the bottle in half and use it to...

Not to sure if you are or aren't running a phos reactor but you might want to look into it. I know it helped me get rid of mine a while back. As everyone else said try and syphon it out rather then just blowing it around the tank. Good luck with it.

OK So I started using the tropic Marin reef actif about eight weeks ago now. I must say I have seen a tremendous amount of growth using this product. My tank seems to be alot clearer and I don't seem to have to clean the glass as much as I use to. As far as my color I can honestly say I don't...

thanks. took alot of work. and money :)

I couldnt agree with you more. That is why I tried to keep it simple for so long. But I must say I seem to be having really good results with what I am doing with the reef actif so far. As far as for dosing iodine I read that it would help sps adapt to changes in lighting and thigs of that...

Is it just me or has anyone else bought things and when it is put into there own tank it just doesn't look the same?

I have a bucket I live in hillside but I can meet you half way. 20 gal brute bucket if you need it.

thank you for the pointers. I actually picked up a underwater cam and will be playing with that for a bit. Here is a link to my tale of the tank. I have all the photos you are looking for there along with what I started with to where I am now...

so I tested all my parameters today and this is what I came up with. Tests are performed using salfert test kits. Alk 8.0 DKH Cal 400 Nitrate 0 Ammonia 0 I just want to say a couple of things, I was talking with a good friend and I mentioned to him that I was thinking about possibly starting...

Ok so I did my third water change on sat. Things all seem to be going very well. Here go some photos as of tonight. I will check and post all parameters tomorrow. My newest ORA Goniopra

Also not sure if you are using Rodi water but it really makes a world of difference

skimmer phosban carbon... oh Jr said everything and left nothin for anyone else to say lol.

i know what you mean. i had a bottle of brightwells reef snow in my hands today and i put it back. i dont know enough about it to start playing with it

how is reef snow? ive also been thinking about it but been holding back..

It is both amazing to see and extremely aggravating as well. I put so many frags in my tank when I started and now that they have all grown they all compete for territory. I am constantly moving or clipping corals to keep them from killing each other. as like many other reefers, 95%of mine are...
