    9-11-2001 A day to remember

    That is some story Phil. I cannot believe it has been 10 years, as it still feels like yesterday. I worked in the WTC for 20 years, but incredibly did not go into work that day, although I was there for the first bombing in 1992. I watched the 2nd plane hit and both towers fall from my roof...

    What type of algae is this??

    Unfortunately nothing eats it, Tech M is the best treatment, and it works when you do it properly. Does it look like this:

    What type of algae is this??

    Its most likely Bryopsis. Does it have a feathery or "fernlike" appearance?? The best treatment is using Kent Tech M, you cant just raise your Mag with any additive, as it is something in the Tech M product that kills this stuff. I had it and dosed Tech M at 1ML/ gallon daily for 1 month and...

    Calcium reactors vs Kalk Reactors ?

    Phil Its not Ozone that runs on a calcium reactor, its CO2. A calcium reactor will not drive down ALK. That is a myth. If anything these reactors should be called Alkalinity reactors because that is what they supply. I dont even bother testing for calcium, I have not in 5 years. Keep your...

    Salt question

    All Red sea coral pro is good for is the bucket to use as a garbage pail!!! I am a TMP pro fan but I would agree have heard nothing but good things about Aquavitro and if I was having tank issues I would make the switch.

    Calcium reactors vs Kalk Reactors ?

    When I ran my Kalk reactor it was solely to lift the PH due the Ca rex lowering it. If you tune in the Ca rex correctly you wont have a problem with lower PH from excess CO2. Honestly I have found that PH means very little as long as you keep it anywhere from 7.8 to 8.3. I have not tested or...

    Calcium reactors vs Kalk Reactors ?

    Biggest con of them both is with a kalk reactor. It can get stuck via either the ATO or the mixer and flood your entire tank with kalk and kill everything. This happened to me 3 times and luckily I was home all 3 times to shut it down before any major damage occurred. After the 3rd time I got...

    I thought big tanks are supposed to be easier?!?

    Very good points Bax, I have been in touch with Paul about his issues and this didnt occur to me but you have valid points. Not sure how you have the skimmer setup, but maybe skim more on the dry side Paul and see how that works out.

    I need your thoughts...

    First of all I would get a new girlfriend, just kidding. How big is your system? How long was the tank water exposed to the sponge? If you have enough water volume and she didnt expose your tank water to the sponge for too long then you should be fine. But if you have a 12 gal nano and she...

    I want to upgrade to LED have a few ?'s

    What type of corals will you be keeping?? If its only LPS and softies you may be able to raise one high enough and change the optics to give you enough spread to cover the entire tank. I have 5 over and 80" long tank, but I have lots of SPS. Most likely you will probably need 2, but you can...

    I want to upgrade to LED have a few ?'s

    I have the "generic" LED's over my frag tank and have the AI Sol's over my DT and the AI's are head and shoulders the far superior product and worth every penny of the additional $$$ if it fits your budget. I will certainly say that the generic LED's have lost some of their intensity in one...
