what do you run your reactor at with its effluent- the ph monitor and the bubbles per second? mine when it was first setup by someone who had a sick tank but he got out of the hobby it was on a fast bubble like a bubble per second, a slow drip and the monitor was set like 6.8-6.9. over the year...

I have a Milwaukee regulator with there solenoid and bubble counter and a milwaukee sms122 ph meter. With the power outage in my area being for 24 hours, when they tamper with electricity they make it go on off on and off. Now on my reactor it would net c02 bubbles rise. no matter how open the...

280? try testing it again i never heard anyones going low like that lol- make sure you test calcium again before you dose anything.

well that isnt good is that there is little polyp extension meaning that something is pestering it, what fish do you have? coral warfare wouldn't do that maybe keep the polyps annoyed, looks like something ripped the tissue off or eat it- whats you alk at?

if it wasnt getting enough light i would say it would turn brown not white. Move it lower and make sure you give it proper flow so it has some polpy extenstion.

eh who knows it does nothing bad its all over my rocks where theres little flow- it helps collect dust in the tank to make them longer tho :)

what kind of lighting was it recently under?

no problem thanks again- im waiting for everything to stop being p/o im doing waterchanges with tropic marine pro salt and super clean ro/di water so idk when this stuff will turn around. Im looking back into putting up metal halides. my corals grow super skinny at the base then grow thick at...

dang greg everything looks so happy those trumpets are ginormous

matt or anyone do you have a vho setup with ballast and wiring that you can take a pic of for me- because i have 4 bulb endcap setup my friend said he used to just unplug 2 bulbs so only 2 would stay on. in the middle of all the wires that are connecting all 8 end caps there is a quick release...

see what im wondering is i have the thing that looks liek the champion lighting can i just rip that open disconnect and cut the old ballast out and put the new one it soldering the power wires- what i dont get is how can they see a ballast with out that white connector piece when i cant seem to...

Hey, my friend was nice enough to give me some vho endcaps wired together with a white connector on the end that goes into a ballast. His ballast was not working so thats why i have it now the ballast doesn't have any writing on it and looks exactly like this...

Jrod i know how you feel i was going to take a baseball bat to the tank if it wasn't for some members on here giving me help. Thank god my fish are still happy- if they ever died i think i would take a break. The way i see it is wih less stuff in the tank you can make those changes to the...

yeah veryy true- i would like to know who has the money to spend on a wild colony from expensive stores that have a slime chance of living?id liek you have your job

even if we stoped buying corals taken from the ocean i dont think the stores would stop stocking them : / so i think people buying them gives a better chance and also a better luck to discover a gem and find a nice name for :)

hah yeah if my tank was doing well i would have bought a wild colony from tropaquarium- with reeftoreptiles across the street they have 2 nice colonies of a mixx between pink lemonade and a microladus for only 80 bucks : / can you belive that its in the giant colony section for only 80 bucks : /.

lol your to kind greg, but as on now tank is in a waiting period i snipped all dead pieces in hopes some will recover- now the hobby is a waiting game, i wouldn't wanto add more corals with ones still dyeing in fear that the dieing ones could cause a chain reaction. greg ill give you a call in...

yeah even tho i havent seen his tank in person it seems every time i see pics of it everything grew liek 4 inches- can you put these pics in his thread by any chance will help to show growth shots : )

only bad thing is one store got 5-10 nitrates so a. this could be the problem .b. was caused by the problem. which ever it is all i need to know is i need to get it down just dont know how much weekly water-changes i should do i think imma stick with 12 gallons the corals are kind of used to...
