Aiptasia anemone, IMO. It's a type of animal.
Yep. I think I am on the road to recovery. I did two 5 gallon water changes and added lime to my system. The pH was initially 8.4, then dropped...
That's the smell of a working skimmer. ;)
Do you use any form of carbonate in your ATO?
No need to apologize. Appreciate the input.
Thanks John. I'll start with the water changes and then re-test my pH and see where I stand.
I believe it's made with gypsum (CaSO4), which is often used to lower pH in soil by gardeners/farmers.
Yeah, I watched it fall in. Didn't think too much of it until my dead SPS felt soft to the touch. Then I thought about lower pH eating away at the...
I'll have to give this a try if my water change doesn't help.
Like I said, that wasn't an issue before. My SPS were thriving in that same room before the sheet rock dust fell in.
Not adding anything right now. Haven't been for a month plus since everything began to STN. It is a small room, but wasn't an issue before the...
I need to raise my pH and I am not sure how. My alkalinity is 3.5 meq/l or 10 dKH. My pH is reading 7.61 this morning (7.53 last night). It has...
Raised alk to 3.5. pH at 7.61 this morning.
So here's my pH reading on a multi thousand dollar meter calibrated to 3 different standards. Next question: how do I raise my pH if alkalinity...
I would have purchased this for my 20 if I saw 2 months ago. Instead, I spent $300 on LEDs and killed all my thriving SPS , formerly under halides.
Are they new? I looked a month or two ago and couldn't find anything bout 36" ATI bulbs.
ATI makes 36" bulbs?
It's all about dollars; always has been. It's the capitalistic mentality. It will work itself out.
I typically keep it at 3.2 meq/L (9 dKH) which is maintined by my ATO. I never really pay much matter mind to pH as it's pretty irrelevent if your...
Journal article: "As mentioned above, there is a critical threshold pH at which calcium carbonate is allowed to dissolve. Determining this value...
