    My 75gl sps dream

    What kind of reactor are you using? With what pump? The pellets should just be moving/tumbling very slowly,something like your GFO, just so they don't start to clump. Most articles I've read say it could take up to 8 weeks for you to notice any real affects. I've had mine running for about 3...

    Vinegar Dosing

    I go through 2 Gal. daily. I have three two gallon jugs I use, one with Kalk, one with Alk and one with SW. I use the one with Kalk every day and if I have to bump the Alk I'll use that one, if my SG starts to drop, I'll use that one. I was dosing the vinegar with the kalk. My sump is located in...

    75g Mixed Madness

    Whew! I couldn't imagine why it would have had an odor, since it had never been used. But, I didn't think to open it up to check it, and when I saw your post, I began to scratch my head...wondering. :hororr:

    Your favorite saltmix?

    When I was making a change in salt mixes, I would mix them 50/50 in my make up water, until the old mix was exhausted. So if you're going to make a change, don't wait until you are completely out of your existing mix and do it gradually.

    New bulbs

    Although this wouldn't solve the PC issue, at one time, I was considering adding 4 of these to that fixture, along with the reflectors along the lower outside edges of the fixture...

    Your favorite saltmix?

    Over the years, I've tried many different brands, I think for the most part they were all good. Some had higher levels of one element or another, and you might have to adjust any dosing to that particular brand. But for the money/performance, I keep coming back to Reef Crystals. I've never had a...

As far as the lights...what Gorge said, although I do have to make a change and...

    January 2012 Meeting

    Thank you all for coming and the nice comments. It was nice to finally put some faces, and in some cases names, on the monikers. It seemed like a really good turnout and it's good to see our "southern" membership growing.

    Will A Tunze ATO add too much Kalk at one time?

    I use one heaping teaspoon per gallon. I've used more, but had to add some vinegar to keep the pH at the proper levels. When I use my ATO I mix the kalk in a separate container and just add the clear water to the ATO container. I'm using Mrs. Wages and find there is very little settlement in the...
