Thanks again....
I have NO intentions of going SPS. Maybe a few years down the road. I do have a dragon wrasse, juvenile, that I am trying to offload. Interested??
OK, thanks!! So, no dosing as of yet. I will work on the getting new test kits as well. Do you tink I may be able to start adding something other than soft stuff? My lighting is 324 w's of T5 only! 3-actinics and 3-10K....
Salifert, Reef Crystals, weekly, and about 20g's. I am using API for nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia. The guy at Ocean Aquarium, not John or Frank (Iknow them both very well) suggested I try these pads that fit in your baffles....."Deep Blue" phosphate removing media pads. So, I checked my Po4...
Just checked m Alk. Here are my parameters. Have yet to check m Mg, Ocean Aquarium didnt have the kit.
SG...1.025
temp..80'
Ca2...440 ppm
Nh3...0 ppm
ph.....7.8
No2...0 ppm
Po4...1 ppm
No3...0 ppm
Alk....8 dkh
I will read some more. However, my Ca is OK. My ph is abit low. If Kalk is a debated topic, I will avoid it altogether. I will also check my Alk, Ca, and Mg over a two week period and see what exists. I suppose what I am trying to do is keep myself busy. My FOWLR kinda becam a bit boring so I...
Thanks Jim. My ATO storage is about 5 gallons. Simply add it to that. I have an aerator and a heater in the bucket. Do you suggest I add 1 tsp in the bucket per day and thats it?...even initially? In regards to my ph, it is relatively low anyway and that is how I came up with Kalkwasser doing...
My tank is running very well with the exception of some phosphates present. I originally started a FOWLR. It is a 90g DT with a 35g sump. I have added some soft corals and a couple of Nems over the past few months and all are doing very well. I wouls like to add some LPS. However, I need to...
OK...so a few bags of CP Elite in between the baffles, all the way across the sump so the water has to pass thru the carbon? How often do I replace it? Stuff gets expensive.
Lil' low on funds but my phosphates are a bit hight and in addition to changing my cartridges in my RO/DI, I'd like to run some GFO. Anyone with a lil help??? I am in Atlantic City and can travel a bit.
90g with 35g sump...just started adding some soft corals. trying to see how weel they do befire I move on. Strictly soft and LPS only. Only have 324 watts of T5's.
I have a peaceful FOWLR and I have some pretty laid back guys. Flame angel, group of chromis, firefish, six-line wrasse, lawnmower blenny, pink spot goby and his pistol shrimp, spot foxface, pair of clowns, and a fire shrimp. So far no problems and its been several months.
I think it may be the Dragon wrasse. Though he is really small, he has the attitude of a large dragon wrasse. But why and how did my nem crawl up and over the overflow...he must of exposed himself to air for awhile. Just need some ideas on how to get em out.
Ok...so i am not as sharp as I thought an now my Nem and jawfish are in teh overflow. I attempted to remove the durso and all I did ewas loosen up te bulkhead fitting and cause a leak. It took me hours to tighten to where there were no more leaks. No I am going in somehow to catch them all.
Thats why I got a deal on him I believe. I will start looking to rehome him. It kinda sucks...I dig him and he is fun around the tank. Fortunately, right now he is only 2" or so. Anyone interested in a dragon wrasse????
