    Yet another 2-part dosing question

    Here you go Kyle http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php#15 This will have pretty much all you need to know. The recipes are a bit old I believe. Some of the stuff he uses may or may not be avail. But the stuff BRS sells is the same.

    Yet another 2-part dosing question

    It's a 90 gal plus another 29 running in the sump. I'm figuring around 95 total volume. I'm also SPS heavy, and really packing on the growth. When I was bringing up my Alk 25ml a day wasn't even touching it. I had to increase to 50ml to start to raise slowly. I was thinking of starting my dose...

    Yet another 2-part dosing question

    Well I think I found the answer to my question. I was just looking at randy Holmes directions for dosing and he states just pick a starting daily dose based on type of reef and go with that for a few days then adjust up or down till you get to the right place. Sound right? Or is there a better...

    Yet another 2-part dosing question

    I know this has been covered over and over, but I've still got some questions. First my parameters as of this morning. Calcium-430 Alkalinity-7 Magnesium-1360 So I finally have everything where I want them. Now I have to keep them there. I know that I should test for a number of days to find...

    Pumpkin for food

    So I just finished carving my sons pumpkin, and I get the bright idea to mince some up a put a few pieces in the tank to see what happens. They gobbled it up. FAST. I've been looking for some homemade fish food recipes lately and noticed that many people put broccoli and carrots in it. So I...

    Well I have redbugs. :mad:

    Just remember that even the slightest bit of SPS in the DT that remains can harbor the red bugs. Including any spots that may have encrusted to the rock and you don't notice. When you pull the SPS out make sure you get it all.

    Hope this doesn't send the swap into a downward spiral.

    LPS won't sell me a tank

    Not for nothing, but you better off not going to that LFS for anything other then salt. Its really heading downhill. Glad you were able to find what you needed at Trop. if there is anything I can help you with feel free to ask

    Can you use distilled water in a reef tank?

    I can't find the link, but I read somewhere that all distilled water is equal. Depending on your location it may be cheaper to visit the LFS and buy water from them. For example, tropiquarium had rodi water for $.50 gal and salt for $1 gal. The cheapest I've ever seen distilled is $1 gal

    Storm is Coming...

    Ok now I dumb when it comes to this stuff. I guess I would need the one that hooks to the battery terminals as opposed to cigarette lighter? Is there a certain wattage I should be looking for?

    Storm is Coming...

    Interesting. Never heard of it. So you ran your tank off you tractor. Just like a generator would. Do you have a link to it?

    75g upgrade; advice, guidance & suggestions.

    I matched my two tanks in those prams. That way I could just move from one to the other. I figured that would be less stressful then having to get caught in old tank then sit in a bucket for 2-3 hrs just to get caught again to go into the new tank. I had zero problems with any fish, invert, or...

    Batten down the hatches....

    Yep that might be me on Monday. On another note I got slightly distracted by the suggested video on you tube of Katy perry in the Elmo shirt. Ok VERY distracted.

    Good Inexpensive Skimmer

    People will kill me here but I had a Red Sea prizim skimmer on my 44 and it worked great. It is a HOB or can be used submersed, and is relatively inexpensive. But it takes some getting used to and a bit of dialing in. If you gonna have a sump and have the room bubble magus nac 3 & nac 3.5 can...
