Also how old is your alk test kit. Normally CA is tied to Alk to that much difference is odd.
Your thinking things out very well and most of your thoughts seem right on track. Here is my oppinion on live versus dry rock (called base rock a...
Alkalinity tests are also normally easier to get an accurate number. My calcium test uses at least 30 drops. The Alkalinity test only uses 8 to 14...
Aptasia X does work great. Just remember to turn all your pumps off for a few minutes before you use it.
That sounds fine. I would probably use a dremil tool with a cutoff wheel to trim the shims to the correct length rather than pull them back out but...
Hehe, I use the food to check my water currents too. I thought it was just me.
Thats a pretty interesting read. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.
It sort of looks like a bubble nest that some freshwater fish make. No idea what it is but I would be tempted to take the rock out and put it into...
I agree on the two K3s but I would probably try to get one to blow behind the rock to keep sediment from building up too much and then use the other...
I have a 55 reef at home and use a 20 long as the sump / fuge. There is more than enough room in there for the skimmer, fuge section and return pump...
What type of lighting do you have Stingray? My Coraline growth was very slow until I bumped by alk to at least 11 and my Cal to 440+. Of course I...
Thats an interesting idea Infantry. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get the 5.5 level though so the water evenly overflowed the tank. It would...
Craigslist is where I got my 55 for cheap. Please make sure that if it is empty that they either give you a gaurantee that it doesnt leak or that...
You had the same reaction I had when I first saw it growing in my tank. Then I had to clean it off of the front of my acrylic tank. Then I had to...
Mine is placed 1/3 of the way down my tank and apparently there isnt much flow below it because there is a tiny whirlpool on the sand that...
i would just make sure you flush it thoroughly. If you can take it apart to clean it that would be even better but so long as it is thoroughly rinsed...
Mine is only a 55 with a 20 long sump but it is also on a concrete slab that isnt all that level. It is about .4 degrees out of level but leans...
Thanks for the replies folks. I used an AquaClear 30 for the pump. It was left over from when I retired one side of my undergrael filter in my...
It shouldn be a problem for a couple days. I top off every other day normally but sometimes miss a day. The swing in specific gravity is very minimal...
Definitely go with the new bulbs. Those 6700 are great for growing algae or plants in freshwater tanks.
