Ok ill adjust the size of the fuge area. I have a while before i probably baffle the sump because i have to build my stand which will probably take me a good amount of time since i have to borrow my friends tools.

Got my tank! Just need to build myself a stand which I'm dreading. Going to have to borrow some tools from some friends and hope to find time to build it. Ordering my return pump once I get the stand going so once I have it done I can plump it and get started. I also have to baffle the...

Got bored at work so i drew this up. Its to scale so it seems like the way i have it laid out will work. Might make the fuge smaller though and increase the skimmer side to give space for reactors in the future.

I figured id just use the 55 so i was thinking of how i was going to put my baffles in and i went to look up the sca-302 skimmer operating water height and its around 9 inches so i have to see if i want to build some type of stand to hold the skimmer higher in the sump since the water level will...

If i wasnt in the middle of a upgrade i might have lol

No nothings next to it but its also not the only coral to have some bleaching. Noticed my plate also had some bleaching so i ruled out anything attacking it.

Haha yea ill prolly make a nice sized fuge area for that

Yea thats true, i think im going to do it. Ill also have alot of room for a fuge area and mayb ill put a small area for frags or something.

I haven't changed anything or did anything other than a water change so far. I don't think it would have passed 82 degrees seeing how thats the highest ive seen it without a fan on and low A/C, usually i sit around 80 during the day. Im leaning towards it ending up being due to the pH / Alk swing.

Sorry to hear that Paul

Just got set back on the build, went to go measure and wet test the tank i was going to use as my sump and it had a hairline crack along the side so i had to toss it. Ive got two options, use the 55 gallon tank i have laying around or buy a new tank. Cant decide if i want to use the 55 although...

How often do you feed clams? What other food do you have mixed in their diet?

No the white part of the torch was there already so its not new growth. Some other parts also had white spots but not as noticable in the pictures. Yesterday i did a waterchange and i cranked up the A/C and fan in my room to circulate some air and pH by the end of the day was around an 8.0 and...

Just got back from vacation yesterday and got my WP-25 in the mail and I also got my Reefbreeders LEDs thanks to Judeo I should be getting the tank on Tuesday so more pics and updates to come within the week.

Heres a picture of the torch, you can see it turning white in the bottom left side

When i came back i noticed my sister was keeping my door to my room (where the tank is) closed and it was very "stale" air i guess you can say so maybe there wasnt enough gas exchange which lead to the ph drop? What should i do about the high alk, if 11 is high its been around that level since i...

I don't have dosing pumps or dose anything at all. Before I left for vacation I think it was around 9-10. I think its more of a pH problem since it dropped so low.

Alk was in dkh btw so 11 I believe isnt high? But could be wrong.

Which would cause my torch to bleach? I didnt move it or anything for i left or change my lighting. And my pH is 7.6 Just checked it again to make sure i didnt test wrong.

Just got home from vacation, i had my sister looking over my 20 gallon. All she had to do was add top off when needed and she did. Came home and saw my torch was bleaching white and some other corals just not looking happy. Thought something happened to the timer on my lights but it was fine...
