    Start of my aquapod - help as i progress

    Based on the color of it (if that's true color), I wouldn't move it any higher. That will just make it lighter. It could use to deepen up a bit in some deeper water, IMO.

    Who was it, Harry (I'd hate to end up burned the same way)?

    help with gsp

    When was the last time you ran carbon? Maybe you have some alleopathy you're dealing with and the carbon may help ease the warfare.

    Coloring up SPS (was: Too Much Light??)

    In your last post on the topic you said it was .12, so I'm assuming you've gotten it down to .07. :)

    Micro bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like cavitation is a good possibility. I would have liked to have seen you come out of the sump with 1-2 sizes up from the pump intake (so if it is 3/4" then I would have gone to 1.5"), especially with that elbow between the pump and the sump.

    Coloring up SPS (was: Too Much Light??)

    Mike, you had said earlier that your PO4 was .7 ... is it .7 or .07? I think the next change of PO4 media should probably take me down closer to .02 (but what is the margin of error on the Hanna anyway?). I plan to test the effluent from my PO4 reactor tonight to see if it is higher or lower...

    Coloring up SPS (was: Too Much Light??)

    0 NO3/.07 PO4 Still working on driving that PO4 number a bit lower though.

    Coloring up SPS (was: Too Much Light??)

    I'm referring to adding nutrients through feeding the fish in my post above where I make reference to adding high nutrients (v. having high NO3/PO4 values). Not the Zeo/Prodibio/Ultra path (but hey if that works for you, great). Given my hectic busy lifestyle, I could not possibly add the...

    Micro bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!

    PVC glue. But if there are no fittings then that nixes that. How is it connected to your pump then? Hose? Do you have any pictures of this?

    Clowns ready to spawn???

    Yeah Kenny, that's all I know about raising fry in a nutshell! Congrats on Clutch 2, Bill. Nagel did the whole clownfish breeding thing and lost the all to some sort of tank "crash". I had talked to him briefly about it, but never did document our conversation. I think that clownfish breeding...

    Coloring up SPS (was: Too Much Light??)

    I think there's a BIG difference between ADDING high nutrients (the corals actually need this) and HAVING high nutrients. Good nutrient export but high feedings seem to be part of the key to success, from what I've read. Mix in there somewhere somthing about K that I have yet to get my hands...

    How do I raise my Alk levels

    We did a group buy on them 2 Christmases ago. I'd have to search through our notes to see where we got it from. I think we're getting close to needing it too. I saw rumblings of the Dow flake changing to include X which is undesireable (I think Carlo posted links to the info on RC). You may...
