I can't tell you the reason behind it, but try it. Test your TDS in a plastic cup v. a glass. Let me know if there's a difference. Then if there is... please tell me why!

It all made sense until I got to the Kalk reactor. Where is the Kalk reactor tied into? How is it being fed? For our system instead of pumping directly to the sump, the topoff to the sump goes through the Kalk reactor. If you don't need so much kalk in your system you may use your...

Flow, light and magnesium are the three things that come to mind. All euphyllia species seem to be particularly sensitive to the levels of mag in my tank. Too much flow might keep them tighter, but I don't see it preventing them from expanding. As Carlo said, I'd also check nitrates (though mine...

That's great to know! We can definitely get some quotes from you for comparison.

The ideal dimensions, IMO are 72(l)x30(w)x24(h). There's another thread floating around in recent history with various tank manufacturers and some pros/cons to them. Billy did a great layout with LOTS of holes for optimal SPS flow. I think in his tank thread there's a diagram of the holes.

I don't see why breaking up existing rock would be a big problem. As long as you aren't exposing all of your rock to air for a day or two at a time I don't see where it would be a problem to break it up a bit before returning it to your tank.

LMAO. Too funny, Ed & Francis.

Otherwise known as a powder brown. Beautiful fish. Good luck with it!

Jeff said 30" wide, not tall. A 30" wide by 24" tall by 8' tank would be beautiful dimensions. The aquascaping potention would be amazing.

The eggs will be down for 11-14 days (depending on temperature and other factors), so it is too soon to be close to hatch time. I'm surprised that just after she laid down the eggs she wouldn't have been eating as the process of laying eggs is taxing to them. Did the eggs change colors...

What are you pouring the water into to test the TDS? You need to use a clean glass container. If you use plastic you'll see TDS creep.

Happy Birthday, Matt!

I don't understand milky water in with your rocks without anything else but rocks and powerheads. Nothing else is in there, right? That's strange.

018 isn't .018, but 18. You want as low as you can get (as close to 0-5 as possible). If the unit is new, you may need to let it run a bit more before you get a true reading.

Great idea, Austin. Billy has one of those ph ports on his first chamber.

Psst.. you can use the clear PVC primer for reef related plumbing. The purple is only necessary for housing code. You did a great job matching the drawing, Jose!

Beautiful pieces, Danny. Good luck with them!

Thanks to all who attended the Holiday Party today. It was a really relaxed day spent with great friends and excellent food. Being able to enjoy our first holiday party without having to prepare all the food too was an excellent bonus. Dan Oswari & Qwerty were our big winners today, each taking...

Take all rock out of the tank and put PVC elbows and pipe in there. Give him a safe haven as soon as you can. Switch to the Maracyn 2 as recommended and hopefully it isn't too late. Good luck.
