I got my Red Sea test kits in today and just finished all three test. My calcium was at around 500. Alkalinity was 11.8 and Mag was 1520. All are...
And also is it even productive to run a skimmer on a 20 tall with weekly 4 gallon WC.
That makes sense. Less water volume now. It does need a good cleaning though. That's tonight's project.
I've had this reef octopus skimmer for several months. While it was on my 55 it was a beast. Stuff looked like dark tea in the collection cup. I had...
Mines actually has three of those sprouting on it.
I'll move the Kenya tree way from it. Also say these the other day. I think it's growing new heads. If I sound like a noob it's because I am. Lol[IMG]
I have a frogspawn in my tank and when I got home from work this afternoon I noticed that the front looked like it has shriveled up or something. My...
Yeah hopefully I won't have to dose at all. I do the 4 gallon WC every Sunday like clockwork. I'm new to these SPS so I don't know what to look for...
I traded a light fixture and the guy threw in some SPS frags. I don't know much about these yet. Ordered my cal , alk and mag test kits. If needed...
I'm a noob at this dosing. What does kalkwasser do.
Is the pickling lime for magnesium ? I found some calcium hardness at my local pool supply shop. Is the soda ash for alkalinity ?
The recipe I saw said it's not necessary to use magnesium chloride. That you can use all Epsom salt. Is that not correct ?
First things first I have to order a cal, alk , and mag test kit. Maybe with a 20 gallon and weekly WC I may not have to dose.
I do a 4 gallon WC weekly with Red Sea coral pro salt. That's about 20 to 25 % of my water volume. 20 gallon tall tank. Maybe I'll get lucky and not...
Have read that some pool supply stores has it so I'm checking there first.
I have jugs already and Epsom salt. All I need is baking soda and the calcium carbonate stuff. I'll be set I think.
Start off manually. No money for a pump at the moment with Christmas around the corner.
I'm getting into some of the SPS corals and figured I need to start dosing to keep everything in line. I've never dosed anything before. Just do...
I went ahead and started at 10". I'll lower it slowly.
How high should I hang a 150 Watt metal halide fixture from my water on 20 gallon tall aquarium
