Saltkreep - very true. thanks for the reminder. I will try my best not to panic ...

Thanks guys. Nothing is added. Just regular dosing. Must be the shock then. It's holding steady for the last several hours. At least not worse. Just raised the light again to 2 ft above water. And feeding more. I guess it's easy until it's not LOL.

SPS experts, please tell me what's going on. The color faded overnight and PE almost non-existent. This mille is usually the happiest one in the tank. All the parameters are good albeit it's new tank with new water. What can cause a coral to lose color that fast? Other SPS in the tank are mostly...

That's a very nice feature.

Standing in the fishroom last night admiring my messy creation and it suddenly came to me that the refugium pump was not running. Took the pump out. The wire where it went into the pump almost broke clean off. Weird. It's an old pump and I never noticed. Smells like plastic. I guess it easily...

Mark do you get the back and forth motion? Is it going to be too much flow for a 4 ft tank?

Two Rio Hyperflow 26HF pumps. http://www.amazon.com/Rio-26HF-HyperFlow-Water-Pump/dp/B000BJP52S. Comes with all the original connectors. Used < 2 years. $50 each. One Rio 1150 pump. 1450LPH. This is an older pump but works well. $20. One Mag 12 pump needs a new propeller, free.

This is the 48" 6 bulb fixture I bought from Tommynj when I started my 75g. Brain (fishBrain) was very generous to send me the hanging kit (very nice one). So now it has both the hanging kit and legs. Individual reflectors, cooling fan and switches for two separate channels. Serve me really...

Started plumbing first thing in the morning yesterday and it moved a lot quicker than expected. Finished in a few hours. Old sump was converted by removing a baffle to increase the return section. The refugium is plumbed to the return of the sump. Should I use the water from the drain of...

I think that's the way to go. With the T5's off my fixture is like 3 Hydras. The shimmering just too much.

Thanks Tristan. Pleasure to meet your beautiful family.

Better catch some z's first. Not safe to operate power equipment in water under his current condition :)

Mark - you're a patient man.

As you may know, I am current transferring to a new tank too. I have the two tanks connected and equalize the water over a few days. The reason for this is new water (IO regular) has 11.4 Alk which is 4 dkh higher than my running Alk level. So I do suggest you to use some of the old water at...

I think it's more about t5 supplement LED or the other way around. I would get 4 for 24'' tank

Wow great deal. I could use one myself.

I should be good in two weeks. Thanks a lot.

Me too!

I use internal whenever possible. I need the heat and don't want to worry about leaking.

A dumb question. Does the calc reactor adjust automatically to the amount of alk/calc consumed? In other words, as the corals grow or new corals added does it have to be adjusted for the increased demand like dosing?
