    Acclimating SPS corals

    Yikes yeah something isn’t right, like Eric asked if you had a dosing unit for your two part. It’s an essential tool even if you don’t have a big uptake yet.

    Acclimating SPS corals

    Probably best to do an icp test from there and post the results in here. When I transfer stuff and setup new tanks untill I see coraline starting to sprout and become thick I wouldn’t attempt to move sps over. There’s something limiting coraline then it will limit coral. I have two urchins in a...

    Acclimating SPS corals

    Good those chemicals are really not helpful in the long run. How often do you do waterchanges?

    Acclimating SPS corals

    I know your tanks been up for awhile now, but what kind of rock did you start out with and have you ever dosed anything to the tank to remove something else like algea?

    Acclimating SPS corals

    I checked on your other thread and while you said you did see a few spots of coraline showing up I think there is something that’s inhibiting thier growth and likely affecting the sps growth. A icp test would help to identify if you have high tin/ or possibly aluminum. Also, before sending out...

    Acclimating SPS corals

    It’s good to know where your acros were in the previous tank, howling the acros were there for as well. Base to tip tissue burning would happen when I would have calcium or magnesium inaccurate tests. When I get frags I stick it to a rock and it never leaves that rock.

    Does your reef smell?

    It certainly isn’t a bad smell, but acroporas deffinitly give off an odor. I love doing waterchanges and smelling the acros, makes me believe they are strong and healthy.

    Does your reef smell?

    Certainly my corals give off a smell during my waterchange, and I can easily tell the difference between my two tanks when completely filled. The new tank smells like a fresh saltwater bucket that you can easily smell the salt. Where as the old biocube doesn’t smell like crap but it smells like...

    Ash's 400 Gallon Reef

    Did you happen to ask why they did during thier 30 day quarantine? I would like to get fish from them especially some of the riskier ones so they don’t die from random infections like you get from other stores that don’t qt.

    29 biocube pics

    In my biocube I had one of my cc space cakes favia got completely stung to death by mushrooms since that tank is now a mushroom heaven. I took the skeliton of what was left of my favorite favia to the new tank and it seems to really love not getting stung. It started to sprout tissue out of some...

    Par meter

    No I’m not adding t-5 but I have the newer versions of the xr30 which my little cube just had an xr15. So I also need to find out what percentage I need to run the new ones at to match my 70 percent xr15

    Sand Sifters

    I am setting up a waterbox130.4 so it’s a 4 foot long tank and pritty deep as well. And I’m not sure yet since the state of the market and the current price of some fish are wack.
