    Acans colors fading?

    Yeah you basically need to have them on the sandbed and probably in some shade if you want to keep those colors. I was in pretty much the exact situation, bought some nice rainbows from WWC and put them under my AI LEDs. They both turned orange with no other colors. Now they are puffy and...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    This is where reefer logic comes into play. "Honey with the current light fixture, I have to replace the bulbs every 6 months which adds up. Also it is going to make the tank look nicer if I upgrade and I want the tank to look good for you. We would actually be saving money by upgrading."

    NCPARS Swap

    No, just wanted to throw it up to help out a fellow club. That is quite a hike for us and Nikki is arriving from LA at about 2 am tonight/tomorrow so the last thing she will want to do it travel.

    What size Mp for a 40B

    One is wireless, as in it will sinc with other mps so they all run together. I have run a mp10 on my 45 cube but that is a 2x2 tank. I am not sure with the lenth of a 40b if that will be enough. This is where an mp20 would probably be perfect excpet they don't make those anymore. A mp40...

    Anyone going out this Saturday to the NCPARS swap? Could make for one heck of a weekend doing that one on Saturday and DVRC on Sunday.

    Keeping my dkh at the same level

    Yup daily dosing and daily testing will get you right into range.

    Keeping my dkh at the same level

    Here is the problem, when you add alk you are dropping calcium and if you added all the calcium (not at once but over a few days) you will lower your alk. You need to start dosing them together to bring them up together.

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    The standard one has a sponge on the bottom to keep gfo/carbon in place. This clogs and needs to be cleaned which is fine for gfo/carbon which needs to be replaced almost on the same schedule. With biopellets everyone uses screens that don't get clogged or gunky because you need to let the...

    At least we can all agree that the Cowboys suck.

    Lowering Nitrates without a skimmer

    Carbon will help. I think what people are trying to figure out is your source of nitrates. In a nano everything is just so magnified. I am also a big fan of just a few large water changes. Like %50 a week for like 4 weeks. Or do them twice a week. The benefits to a nano is that you can do...

    MACNA Today

    It is really tough to do one in the state of New Jersey for one big reason, the convention centers are run by the unions. This is NOT a bash on unions at all so please don't take it that way I am just stating the fact here. The cost of dealing with the unions for an event like this is almost...

    Alk low

    Hannah Alk also matched up within margin of error for our salifert Alk. It is the calcium one that is really tough to get an accurate reading from.

    MACNA Today

    I think all frag swaps are a logistical nightmare and the bigger equals more problems. I do agree with you though if you are working the show, hand your tickets to someone else. Nothing is going to create more issues than having anything looked rigged in the slightest sense. During our event...

    What a game

    Except when Vick complaines all the time about hits on him being illegal. I will take the 2 time Super bowl MVP over the QB who cannot even make it through a full season, let alone to a super bowl. Eagles fans were ready to start Foles this week, even Maclin had to remind everyone they were...

    Optimal time to check parameters

    Dosing manually is probably the best way to get your feet wet. BRS makes it incredibly easy with their 2 part system, and as long as you are measuring correctly it is really tough to do something incredibly wrong at first. Once you get comfortable with that, then you can get the dosing pumps...

    Looking to possibly start Zeo. Where to start?

    There is forum for all things zeo: www.zeovit.com If you want some local advice, take a trip (I know it would be long for you) to see smcooler. I don't think he is running zeo right now but was a moderator on that forum years ago.

    Lighting for Corals

    I cfl 6.5 bulb is not designed to grow coral. I am not surprised it is reacting negatively. You should look into getting the light fixed/replaced. In the mean time, you can move the coral up closer to the good remaining light or run a longer photo period with that light.

    Live Rocks

    Are you looking for real live rock or the fake stuff? Real stuff you can probably get from fellow reefers for much better prices than from an LFS (Become a member today!). I am using 90% fake rock from AO for my new build and got some amazing brank rock from Trop.
