Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I kinda disagree here. I use kalk and water changes, and Mag supplement. That's it. My sps appears to be growing fine - albeit my tank is not nearly as sps heavy as say smcoolers. There is no need for additional 2 part if you are dosing kalk. In fact if kalk isn't enough, just add a fan to...
sorry to hear about the lossess.
I read the parameters you posted and I agree with darren on the suspect of alk/ph.
Kalk typically is going to be reduced in quantity during the summer - introducing less alk.
Your CO2 reactor probably is still chugging at the rate itw as set at over winter...
as i recall from herb's tank - pocci = coral that won't die and constantly eats up real estate.
sorry to hear about the problems you've been having jim - i am sure you will rectify it soon. even with the hiccups I would venture to say that I wish my tank was as beautiful!
i love the aqueon - it's basically the same thing as what aqob posted about lee's.

I use this for my tank water changes - no more buckets for me. However i don't know how that would work for a sump that sits on the floor. My...
All,
This forum is for FREE items only. Do not post asking how much an item is.
Sandee - unfortunately I need to ask that if you plan on selling anything to please list those items on a separate thread and in an entirely different area in deals///steals. This forum is not a place for...
if it weren't so hot out - i'd suggest paying me the USPS cost for mailing and i'd send you a gallon of chaeto. or if you are around the edison area i'd just give it to you.
did they get all their corals from underwater world? :P (just joking).
sid you are too funny. I'm going ask the other mods if we can rename you to "o-ring sid". ;D
wow that's terrible but if i were a business i would want nothing to do with paypal - certainly not on an order of over 10k especially with any random john doe buying corals.
you could certainly mix the kalk into the reservoir but I think it will drastically reduce the lifespan of the tunze pump that goes with the oz.
if you have the inclination/(aka money) -you could get a kalk reactor. I purchased a PM one from a group buy several years back. Every once in a...
you run a sandbed taz? Maybe the bed has saturated and is now releasing nutrients back into the tank...causing the algae rush?
I actually use regular NO light (e.g. 60w light bulb that are goign to eb discontinued soon) and the chaeto does not stop growing. I also do not run gfo or carbon...
goes to show how old i am on this board...

my one pic that is still "unbroken" from 2007.
Just to recap:
120 gallon display tank.
Mixed reef - although I guess it's mostly caps/sticks. I do have some lps and about 8 polyps/zoas.
3 tunzes (fourth out to repair)
external reeflo return pump
mrc with extension skimmer
a lot of chaeto
black sand - though unfortunately my pumps have...
Well the eggs hatched on Monday night, July 5th. At least we think they did - it's possible the female cleaned house. I didn't have any rotifer culture set up yet and none of my tanks were ready so this was more just a confirmation to see that indeed those were eggs. The location is a very poor...
that's too bad! yeah cardinalfish can eat a lot. I had hopes of having 10 in my tank - i'm down to 2. If there's ever a sale again i may get a few more. 2 is "eh" - ok. I'd rather have a larger group of them. If you're ridding them - you may get more value by ditching all of them as the...
Re: Clownfish Log (they are breeding again!)
So about 4 months ago a big change for my tank was adding an anemone (thanks jrwohler!) and thankfully it has finally situated itself relatively in the middle of the tank. I noticed the male clown tends to hover under the nem (below the tentacles...
