Do you see or feel water anywhere? Build up of salt somewhere? If not, it's just evap.
High alk msybe, limited nutrients.
As long as my coral survive, I should be happy with the decision. I did notice countless tube worms in my sand that no doubt provided a valuable...
Well now you have me second guessing myself. I assume yours became littered with organics and covered in coraline? I will say that in mine, there are...
My fish would not stop shaking and bedding in the sand. The tank was constantly couldy and my filter sock constantly full.
I don't have a good nude shot yet, as the tank was a little cloudy from the move and half my lighting (2x T5s were not in action,) but here is the...
I went bare bottom last night. Looks sleek and modern with my newly painted black stand.
I moved my tank and consolidated. I am using 2 6-outlet surge protectors. 4x power head 2x light 1x skimmer 1x ATO 1x return 3x calcium reactor
I painted my stand black. Will be moving my tank to another location in the apartment soon and removing sand. Condensing wiring etc.
After my water change, I'm down to .043 ppm. I was 2 weeks ago, 0.09 and then 0.07 last week.
I am going to lower phosphates too see if that works. I've been using RO water in my ATO and for water changes. I think it slowly contributes to an...
So I have a few corals that need coloring. My phosphates are .06 ppm on the ULR. My lights (taotronic) are set at about 25% blue and 25% white....
I'll have to peak in.
I thought you upgraded! That's a big system. Did your STN disappear for good?
Lol Well I did study chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, physics etc. while earning my undergraduate degree.
I work for an environmental consultation firm.
I wish it were lol. I am never satisfied. Some of my acropora need a little love, coloration is off again.
For comparison, and since I'm board at work, your 125 gallon tank, at 400 ppm of calcium, has arproximated 0.412 pounds of calcium in dry weight (you...
Quite a bit of SPS. I have a pink and red birsdest apporaching fist size as well as a montipora that is larger than a saucer. I have an A. valida...
Yep. Water changes couldn't even begin to maintain alkalynity of calcium levels for me. Kalk couldn't even keep up through the ATO. Being a small...
