    Manual Dosing to adjust Mag Alk Cal… question???

    Problems like this are why I LOVE my All4Reef. Also, my chemistry guru, Randy Holmes-Farley, recommends not bothering to test Magnesium. He says test results are too problematic to be of any use. Have any interest in a cheap Hanna Magnesium Checker?

    Looking for LEDs?

    They come with the mounting brackets shown on the page. I expect to mount mine on the inside of the swing-up front of my big old-fashioned hood. I'm looking to get an angle so I can cover the parts of my reef that aren't fully covered by my existing LEDs. Of course, on the inside of the...

    Clean up Crew

    Glad to hear it. I want to grow it to feed my fish too, and hopefully sell any excess to my LFS. Two questions: Did you "tumble" it? Did you supplement iron for it? I found another source stateside for bulk quantities of Ogo, but I prefer to give my business to people like ISPF who supply...

    Clean up Crew

    Anyone ever ordered the Tang Heaven Red from ISPF? I was wondering if it is a mixture of different red algaes or maybe just one species. I'd love to get just Ogo. http://www.ipsf.com/tangheaven.html Following up --- Looking at the page again, the Tang Heaven Red is Gracilaria parvispora...

    What type of ROE are You Using.

    I actually sprung for this Capelin Roe product: https://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/raw-no-thaw-products/new-wave-capelin-roe/ You keep in the freezer, but don't have to defrost it. The downside is having it shipped quickly in dry ice. The upside is two pounds of it lasts a real long time.

    Something for All You Softy Lovers...

    THANK YOU! (Better you than me.) But at least it's in the "Family"! That may not happen too quickly. The description says "This xenia is less prone to move to the adjacent rock". I consider that to be a selling point - I currently spend two hours periodically cutting back on my invasive xenia.

    Seaklear Phosphate Remover

    Brtightwell actually has pretty good dosing instructions posted on all their products. Check the link I posted for dosing calculations. I don't have any LPS to speak of in regard to damage from LaCl. If you're going to mess with LaCl, I strongly suggest you get a Hanna LR Phosphate tester...
