Let us qualify that statement with if you are testing your CA and it is stable you generally do not need as much with softies. Softies do use and need CA. They just don't suck it up as fast as the stonies and clams.

See my post that just popped up, you are not dumb. ppm is not the most frequently used alk or alkalinity unit of measure. You have the right thing. 50ppm = 1 meq/l = 2.8 dkh.

Some kits are in ppm, I was assuming that was a ppm reading which would equal 6 meq or 16.8 dkh. Saltwater4life, can you confirm that it's ppm? I agree with you Phyl that they just look a little cranky. Probably just the temp.

No of those things should be raising your alk, might be your test kit. Where do you live? Can you bring a sample to you LFS? BTW how's the temp and how do they look?

Sorry, no experience with the Aquahub. I use my Aquacontroller Jr to topoff with Kalk and will be adding the one Ed posted as an upper limit cutoff.

Mix some water for a water change and see what your alk is for the new water. Use RO/DI that has been aerated for 24 and aerate the mixed water for 24 hours. If the fresh batch of salt water is in a more acceptable range for alk; bring your alk down with a couple of water changes and lay of the...

Well if you need help I can hook you up with my son for some weapons. He owes me lots of favors this summer!

Have you been adding anything for a buffer? The Alk is way high. What do you dose/supplement? Have you measured CA and MG as well? Change anything else lately? Nitrates ain't great either. I'd do a 20% water change as soon as you have some mixed, aerated and aged water and then do another in...

Thanks for the heads up Billy. Sorry about your troubles. I had some white, bare patches on my caps a while back that have since regrown. I'll have to keep an eye out for these suckers!

Hi Mark, Good to see you around! Where have you been? Are there a lot of solo opportunities on WOW? I wasn't aware that you could do much by yourself. To me the biggest barrier was not wanting to get involved with a lot of addcited gamers and spending more time playing than what I have to...

From what I can see, I agree with Phyl. Are those white patches as firm as the other areas, or are they soft and spongey?

Hey James, Welcome to the club! I appreciate your concern for the environment. One of the club's purposes is to foster a concern for the organisms we keep and to promote environmentally sound methods of acquiring and keeping livestock. I think there is a middle ground between captive bred...

Thanks Stan and Kristen, everything was awesome! Also thanks to all the NJRC folks who turnout for the meetings. This is truly a great club! ;)

Well Jack, if you think the Brentonians might harbor a grudge against some High Elves, I might just have to give it a go! Do you have any heroes?

Not me, but my son was. Now it's all about WOW.

Hey Phil, Although I keep mentioning LOTR, I've read The Hobbit at least 6 or 7 times as well. I liked the dwarven focus as well. I even managed to make it through The Silmarillion. Hey John, you want to talk about religious undertones, The Silmarillion is Tolkien's book of Genesis. Tough...

I like it. When it extends the contrast of the darker shade polyps and lighter body is very nice.

I've got one similar to the lime green I have to move it soon, my toadstool is crowding it.

Pictures?? Does it look like mucous or fungus? Mucous happens from time to time. It may close up for a few days and shed. Does the flesh still seem firm? Give it a quick blast with a turkey baster.

Love the pics, no problem here! Just anxiously awaiting the day when I can get a shot at a small frag. ;D
