    High alk doesn’t kill corals. red Sea did a test and they grew corals at very all with no problems. Dong zou from acro garden says high alk doesn’t kill corals. He is a scientist so I take his word. He also grows some nice corals lol

    Honestly there is no best salt. All salt will grow corals. Water changes in my opinion are important. For me I have used almost all theses salts. I have a big system so paying $130 for a bucket of salt is too much. So tropic marine doesn’t work for me. I make salt and let it sit in my mixing...

    Question: Does anyone use halides anymore?

    Halides are dead technology. If you are buying lights get leds. it going to be hard to get bulbs and maintain a hailide fixture. if you don’t want to spend the money on led you can buy t5. Halides are not magic. You can grow corals with led with no problems.

    WTB: Live Rock

    I think now it’s better to start with clean rocks. you can add bacteria in liquid form and start the life you want to keep in the tank. Without having any of the bad stuff. if you get aptasia in that small tank it’s going to be very hard to get rid of it. with clean rock you can control what...

    I would bet most of their clients run fish only tanks. In the hobby reef tanks are very rare.

    Ocean water

    I got a chance to go to the Great Barrier Reef. I was on a plane for 24hrs to Australia. Then I was on a cruise ship for 3 days from Sydney to cairns. In cairns it was about 2hrs just to go out to the reef. I was able to see the biggest reef I have ever seen. This must be the cleanest ocean...

    Ocean water

    Ocean water is bad. You would have to go out very far to get clean ocean water. it’s also not worth the risk of contaminating your tank. They sell ocean water in a container if you want to add some bacteria. the beach is like the skimmer of the ocean. So you would have to go very far to get...

    Neptune ATK v2 question

    I Agree they all suck. tunze is the better choice. they have new optical sensors on the apex so that's good. so if you go with Neptune don't get it used buy it new and get the new version.
