I was kidding. Ditka as in Mike Ditkax. Former coach of the Chicago Bears and subject of an SNL sketch. Stylophora has been fragged and moved....
What about acans vs peppermint shrimp. Or vs Ditka?
Yeah, well I think if you shoot for an alkalinity above 10 you will probably be ok with Seachem since the carbonate and bicarbonate are still...
My stylophlora and acan have been coexisting pretty happily until today. It looks like there may be an issue. Should I frag that part of the...
That's my take. I'm not sure what Seachem's reasoning is for using much higher than normal borate levels, other than the fact that it's a better...
This great article answers my question. In brief, we aren't so concerned about alkalinity. We are concerned about the concentration of carbonate and...
I got a response back from Hanna and they confirmed that their unit reads TOTAL alkalinity (the sum of contributions from any anion that contributes...
Yeah, absolutely. So I'm correct in my thinking. The question is this, fundamentally, for Seachem salt - for a given alkalinity, Seachem will have a...
Bump for those who might also use this salt or understand the chemistry better than I do . . .
Wow, that is really beautiful. The purple and green color combination is striking.
I fed the little scoly a combination of reef roids and mysis tonight. Took a couple of photos while I was at it. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Fair enough. Ha ha. I guess there are some artistic liberties among those naming the corals. Thanks!!
I use Seachem Reef Salt for my tank, which I understand has fairly high borate concentrations. Thanks to a great recommendation by Corailline, I now...
You're saying this isn't "true candlelight acro?" I'm only going off the description from the ad. If that's a misnomer, what is it?
Yeah, I was just thinking I would use the turkey baster to gently move the sand, but we're only talking about a handful of grains. With some feeding...
I'm a glutton for punishment. :)
Do you guys target feed Reefroids and Acropower or do you simply dose them into the tank at the recommended concentration?
Garrett, I like the words you used to describe the peppermints. Ha ha. That pretty much sums it up. What is the benefit of putting them on the...
I just bought a frag of this candlelight acro. Can't wait to watch it grow. [IMG]
So far, so good. I haven't seen any additional damage to the acans. Any ideas out there how long it will take them to recover from this little...
