My tank has been up for a year now and im not a noob with parameters so this is really starting to tick me off. I have my alk locked around 9.0 to 9.6 thats the most it will ever change in a month which is when i notice it and then it slowly drops abit. Out of no where my shades of fall crayola...

Thats figgen crazy maybe if i put nuclear fluids in my corals they will glow green like that.

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax darn that green millie looks like its extremely happy and growing pritty fast- i wish i lived closer so i could shotgun a frag of the green millie but im never up there.

Well if you are not seeing anything in the tank react badly then what ever is in there is used to the numbers unless you normally check it to be 9kh and 420. If you are dosing calcium and alkalinity by hand i would suggest not doing anything at all- let the corals take up what they can they will...

Its browned out a bit but still a beauty hah :) veryy nice

Every chalice you own seems to amaze me more and more- kinda makes me want to make the tank all attinics.

that scoly or whatever it is looks extremely happy with the sand you have- the zoas look very nice next to each other and especially the green in the toadstool is crazy.

yeah could possibly be to much light- i sit my t-5 a few inches off the tank and my monti caps are about 2 feet under the lights and they held there colors.

haha thats funny, funny watching his face slowly change expressions while going up.

were they newly acquired zoos? Also if there under the t-5 keep them as low as possible to see if they will get back color- if i put any of my zoas off the ground they will close up or change colors.

Oh your pump isnt in a sump, I dont know what your tank is like so i guessed it was in a sump or refugum. Uh-mm hah idk i never had to deal with that problem before.

Turn off the return pump so water isnt flowing down the overflow. Drain out what ever water you can with a turkey baster and then take off the tubing. What is holding the tubing onto the overflow? I dont know what kind of overflow and plumbing you have sorry.

any chance that a snail made a brave journey into the pipes by any chance? Would be smart to take the pumps off and give them a thorough cleaning.

as long as you figured out why hah thats good, now its the fun part of correcting it.

Monroereef was having the same problem- The bio-calcium you are using is a 1 part additive. It is both calcium and alkalinity so alkalinity is getting added in through there. The best i would say to do is go out and buy bright wells 2 part or the b-ionic stuff and dose the calcium part and let...

What are you using to dose your tank? A two part additive or what?

Phil does your tank ever change its consumption rates- i remember when i used to dose two part my tank would either take calcium or alkalinity faster so i found myself dosing more of one then the other i also know Wendys tank does that im not to sure if it still does that.

The two part stuff you have what is it the bright wells a-b dosing stuff? What your going to have to do is just add the calcium part of the two part- the first bottle is calcium the second is alkalinity. Your corals are starting to take up the calcium and the alkalinity is a bit higher so its...
