I have two 1lb flat packs available. Like to trade for corals (SPS preferred) otherwise $10 each. Best use before Oct. 2013 but it has been in the freezer.

Thanks for the response. I will leave it alone for now. The corals seem to be doing ok. Tom - I can tell the bird nest I got from you is going to be a fast grower. I can see some growth every few days.

I accidentally dosed too much Mg (even though I followed instructions) so not I have 1520 ppm. The corals seems to be doing fine. The rest of the numbers are 450 ppm Ca and 9dkh Alk. 0 PO4 and 0 Nitrate. Should I bring down the Mg level with water changes to below 1400 ppm or I can let it go...

Update. I redid the rock work this weekend as I realize the space behind the rock is useless. Being only 18" front to back if the rocks is in the middle there won't be a lot of room in front of the rocks. So I moved all the rocks back. Some touching the wall. This will give me a lot of rock to...

Instant ocean. Will alk level affect CA measurement? Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks Matt. I will be looking into dosers. The perplexing problem is that the newly mixed water has very wild parameters. I am going to do smaller water change now to avoid big swings. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

I am going to dose manually for now. I think with the limited demand from the corals I will not need to dose between water changes (10g weekly). Just need to dose the new water before water change. I have only 8 SPS frags. The rest are LPS.

It has been a while and I have been doing some testing. The tank has stablized and the few corals in there are doing ok at least. The red cap has encrusted. Tank: Alk: 7.3 - 7.6 Cal: 400 - 420 Mg: 1000 - 1060 Fresh mixed water: Alk: 12 Cal: 500+ Mg: 1600+ I continue to get...

It seems the reef hobby has changes very fast so a lot of the books are no longer relavent. Any newer books worth owning? I mean you can look up a lot of stuff on the internet now but still its nice to have a good reference on all the coral species and their care etc. Sent from my ADR6350 using...

Roman, i like your style, go big or go home that is. welcome to the club. I have ADD so if you can break your writings into a few paragraphs it will help me a lot. Feel free to use bullet points too.:-) I am new to the hobby too so my only advice is take it slow. No instant gratifications...

Everyone likes to be from central jersey because that's where all the real reefers live. :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
