nice progress....a shallow reef in the making!

sorry missed that. ::) Have you ever measured the PH of the water before you add it to the tank? fyi - salinity is measured in ppm - what you have posted is specific gravity. pssst - on the net - it is impolite to write in all caps - unless you are really really mad at me for not realizing...

in the second link "first anniversary" thread - she talks about her bulb combo. - that was 6 54watt t5s. she's using 8 80 watts now...

first thing off the top of my head is alkalinity...are you measuring it?

nice job figuring out the pics! the before was really nice...i'm sorry to see the aftermath. People will give you different numbers because this is one of those things where there isn't a "right" answer. I've seen tank of the month threads with very slow flow thru the sump - and I've seen just...

Thread hijack.... all this talk about Dolomite...("the tough black mineral that won't cop out when there's heat all about") makes me think of one man:

for the calcium you could use a two-part doser - like Bi-Ionic.

yes - so if you had a mag 7 (this pump works best in a sump) - the pump would pull water from your sump, and push the water up a pipe to your display tank. Now if the mag 7 is too powerful, then it will pump more water than the overflow can send down. To fix this, you can T it so that one leg...

Re: Here's my 120 so cool. do you find that they become more aggressive when spawning?

my water is like 300 something or other. With my undersink rodi (drinking) it's like 15. I think I have to do something about the DI resin.

I have used it (along with lugols) as a dip for all corals before I introduce them into the display. I've never used any medications for the display...knock on wood.

Welcome to NJRC The pump needs to be rated to match whatever your overflow can handle. Keep in mind a pump will lose gph the further the pump is from the tank. This is known as "head loss". I'm not a fan of HOB overflows but they should typically say how much flow it can handle. If you have a...

Unfortunately dfm is breaking down his tank. I don't think he needs more advice on maroon clowns pairing... ::) http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=13287.msg123638#msg123638 thread locked.

have you ever read this article? Not sure if it helps you in this situation or not. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm

phosphate reactor may help, using RODI water will definitely help, a quality skimmer OR frequent water changes (preferably both), a sump full of cheato and not a lot of fish in the tank.

not sure what gpu is but it's a RPG game with a more mature dialog/graphics. Frankly the original had a ton of replayability. KOTR is probably the one game I can think of that is somewhat similar...without the mutants, or the brotherhood..lol...

off topic on this thread - but I have seen this site in hawaii sell worms: http://www.ipsf.com/

did you get a chance to read this link? Water parameters It might help answer some of the questions you have. Then maybe you could post up some of the parameters here and then it'd be easier to answer the questions.
