Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Maybey find a friend or fellow reefer that has a copperbanded butterfly fish or is breeding bergaih nudibranches and let him have your rocks for a few days so they eradicate them for you.
Extremly sorry for the bad news but them be aptaisia- try returning the live rock or you can cook the rock so you dont let them get on your other rocks.
Um im just running a calcium reactor magnesium is 1290 calc is 420-450 alk is 9.0- 9.6 changes over the whole month but never goes above or below the levels. Im not dosing anything else- and i thought it could have been a fish but i ruled that one out after watching the tank the whole time...
I use salifert they have been the most acuaretly avereage of the test kits- there very handy because they come with the test solutions. I dont have the digital phosphate metters but last time i checked it was around.06 with one of the digital tests.
My tank has been up for a year now and im not a noob with parameters so this is really starting to tick me off. I have my alk locked around 9.0 to 9.6 thats the most it will ever change in a month which is when i notice it and then it slowly drops abit. Out of no where my shades of fall crayola...
Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
darn that green millie looks like its extremely happy and growing pritty fast- i wish i lived closer so i could shotgun a frag of the green millie but im never up there.
Well if you are not seeing anything in the tank react badly then what ever is in there is used to the numbers unless you normally check it to be 9kh and 420. If you are dosing calcium and alkalinity by hand i would suggest not doing anything at all- let the corals take up what they can they will...
that scoly or whatever it is looks extremely happy with the sand you have- the zoas look very nice next to each other and especially the green in the toadstool is crazy.
yeah could possibly be to much light- i sit my t-5 a few inches off the tank and my monti caps are about 2 feet under the lights and they held there colors.
were they newly acquired zoos? Also if there under the t-5 keep them as low as possible to see if they will get back color- if i put any of my zoas off the ground they will close up or change colors.
Oh your pump isnt in a sump, I dont know what your tank is like so i guessed it was in a sump or refugum. Uh-mm hah idk i never had to deal with that problem before.
Turn off the return pump so water isnt flowing down the overflow. Drain out what ever water you can with a turkey baster and then take off the tubing. What is holding the tubing onto the overflow? I dont know what kind of overflow and plumbing you have sorry.
