    Red Sea Coral Pro

    Ca usually runs 350 to 500 (on the WAY high side). 1230-1300 is not even on the scale. Might want to double check the test kit. Which one are you using? That looks more like a magnesium number. If it turns out you like the salt I have 2 buckets that I could sell you (or anyone else interested)...

    residue in barrel

    Personally, I think it is diatoms caused by silicates and see it far worse with some brands than others.

    In Need of Emotional and Mental Support Right Now

    Those are some tough diagnosis, Erna, but I'm sure with all the prayer, hope and love she's surrounded by she'll pull through those too. I'm glad she's better from last weeks horrors. It is so great to hear of the 6 and 11 year olds ahead of you on the journey. I'm sure they inspire great hope...

    Digital PH tester

    Hey now to you too! LOL. You can't have my 2! You'd have better success looking on eBay for an old 2, but for most of our needs, a AC Jr would serve your needs just fine and you can pick one up in the PA group buy for a decent price, if you can wait until June.

    Digital PH tester

    I have a Neptune AquaController II (go ahead and try to find one of these, lol) and an AquaController Jr. Of course I'd wait for the next PA group buy to pick it up!

    Digital PH tester

    Gadget Freaks unite. I totally understand. Hence my owning two. Either get an Aquacontroller (Gadget Freak nervana) or a Milwalkee PH Monitor.

    Which skimmer to choose??

    So you're saying that PA is saying (still following me?!) that the BK Mini 180 is as good as the 300-800g BM300 at half the price? Less a 15% PA discount that's a very desirable solution to needing a skimmer on a 180.

    Her 20 (pics)

    Loving the "No Fishing" sign. And that has to be the tallest zoa I've ever seen. Interesting that your bubble is ... bubbled and your zoa is so tall. I had heard that a bubble will stretch out and get stringy when they aren't getting enough light and that when a zoa isn't getting enough light...

    Digital PH tester

    I would put a PH TESTER into the categories of "Useless Equipment" and "Money Wasted". You have to keep them wet in order to keep the probe functional. You're going to need to calibrate it more frequenly and hope you don't let it go dry. I think I bought 2 of them before I gave up and got an...

    I think your best bet is to give them a call for clarification. Always best to get it at the source.

    In Need of Emotional and Mental Support Right Now

    Erna, I see we haven't had an update in a few days. I was hoping to hear how Lil' Maddie was doing. My heart breaks for you all and what you're going through. How are you feeling? Hopefully the antibiotics have kicked in and you're all healthy enough to support them the way you want to.

    I need to kill my coral

    If you frag these at least twice a year (quarterly to be sure) they will not spawn as readily in your tank. You could probably either use kalk paste or vinegar... of course I've never tried! Chalices, when left untouched for 2 years will reproduce sexually as well. Interesting, huh?

    Upgrade options

    I guess there's a butt for every seat (as my Grandmother always said). I have the 180 and I wouldn't trade it for a 210 for all the money in the world (HATE a 30" height)! Also, I have corner overflows and they don't bother me a bit. It really is going to come down to personal preference. The...
