Sorry! 1/2 cup per gallon. I figured out what I do per gallon and meant to multiply but got distracted while psoting. Busy day!

About 1/2 cup per 5 gallons.

Hey Paul, I discovered that the corals love them as well. My hammers and frogspawns gobble up all the leftovers and love them. ;)

I agree. With this kind of setup you would think the base would be installing setups and doing maintenance, but they did neither. Also, how do you bid without seeing the books, knowing the least terms, etc.

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax It's blocked at the moment, I'm on one of those high protein shakes with nothing you really want to eat diets for a few weeks. Jack has left the building! ::)

Can we get this thread to play dueling banjos for background music? ::)

Just a quick note on my background as an aquarist. I had my first freshwater tank at age 7. I have kept and bred many freshwater fish through the years and have had as many as 30 working tanks at one time. For some strange reason I have never kept African Lake Cichlids! Way back in 1972 I...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax Other than thar Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? ;D I would add moving a reef tank to a prominent spot on the mos stressful things you can do list. Hope it all works out for you Bax. I had my own temperature issue. I brought a new fish home for...

Depends where you by them. PA has ACjr's with a DC8, but you have to add the ph probe. They always come with the temp probe.

Beat me too it! ;D

We need the Alk and Mg numbers to pair up with that Cal to see what is going on there. Also, we need to test the new water you make up for a water change. Do you mix ahead of time and aerate it for a day?

Probes are options on both. The other difference is an ACjr can control 12 outlets, the AC3 can handle 24. Here is a comparison chart from Neptune's website. They have released a new controller, The Apex, recently which I am totally clueless about. Each controller requires the addition of...

Not to worry, you'll get through this. Just be patient! I agree with all who suggested larger water changes. But just getting you to stop dosing altogether and focus on water changes was my goal. After you posted the first set of parameters I was expecting to see some evidence that larger...

So let's start with the why. Why do you want to be a reefer? Is it the cool colors? To impress your friends? Are you a mad scientist or do you have a passion for the sea? Hopefully you are interested in living up to the NJRC creed found on the welcome page to this forum which states: Why is...

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! I can empty my barrels as well and I have two 30 gallon barrels and some rubbermaid tubs. Great news!

This line probably applies to every tank in the club! It certainly applies to all of mine. ;)

I thinking of adding a feeder just for an extra daytime meal while I'm at work. Anyone have a favorite model to suggest?

Why dose at all? You have a small coral population, your aren't testing for those things, and you are having problems keeping calcium balanced. I would go back to the starting point. Stop dosing everything. Do a 10% Water change. Test your parameters the next day. Wait a week. Test your...
