strait pin both bulbs were labeled actinic

Plastic modeling is my longest hobby in my life. i have been doing modeling since i was about 8 years old (32 now). Of course i was terrible when i was young, i wasnt allowed to paint them when i was young because i made a mess of my carpet. once i turned around 21 or 22 i really got into...

just an update...in case anyone was wondering the actinic bulb arrived today. i decided to plug in the new actinic next the old one to compare it. the new one is so blue, and the old one is more of a whitish purple. i am shocked the actinic that came with it didnt even last 2 or 3 months. i...

anyone have pics of the before. surprisingly i cant find any

i picked up some tropic marin pro reef and it says on the box that it should be used with tanks with calcium reactors. this doesnt seem to make sense. their logic is alk will be down if you use a calcium reactor, so it starts with a lower alk is this something i should worry about. i dont use a...

i just got off the phone with oceanic. they are very hard to get a hold of, but i finally did, and they are going to cover the actinic bulb. hopefully this fixes the issue

i run 24/7 i change half of it out every month. i use kent reef carbon

i have a hermet that holds on to another hermets conch shell in the back. he isnt trying to attack him, he just holds on. like he is getting piggy backed around the tank

my alk seems to be ok. i will keep any eye on everything for a while

i use the oceanic. that could be it??

my more dominant clown (i dont think it is old enough to be female yet) has begun hosting in my frogspawn. it is still checking it out, but it is definitely starting to host in my frogspawn. it is so cool to watch it doing it. its not in it constantly, so i am hoping it decides it likes it in...

i have the koralia 1. it is a nice pump and it really kicked up some stuff. it is really large though in the 14g tank. i wish i got something smaller, but it is nice. i also have it angled so it causes flow though out the tank. i havent used the Kor nano, so i am not sure if it is smaller

you will want the water to run through it. i am not sure how effective it will be if it is submersed

ugh, i just checked the seachem site and it says i should also use reef builder for alk. ::) http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/198658/product.web maybe i should check the manufactures site more often. it says use reef complete on day 1, reef builder on day 2. i think its probably the same...

i hate hearing these stories. hopefully everyone is ok when i was a kid, we had a housefire and we were out of our house for close to a year. it is my biggest worry with my tank, that and it cracking and destroying everything

yeah, if i can get my water tested, maybe i could bring some by sometime. i am not sure i am doing it right i havent dosed anything yet. also, i am not sure i am doing it right. when i check it, i have used almost the entire syringe, maybe a couple of drops left. is the doser i got no good...

my alk was good, it was at 9 (german units?? i dont know what its called) i didnt know i should test for magnesium. the site liveaquaria says frogspawn (only stony coral i have) should only need calcium, stromium and trace. the dosing i got does calcium, magnesium and stromium. i will pick up a...

since i now have some corals i bought a calcium test kit and reef complete in case i needed to dose. when checking my calcium, i got about 480 or 490. when looking at the instructions it said it should be 400 to 425 i havent dosed anything, but i did a water change 2 days ago. how often do...
