I found the same thing. Dosing equal parts was making my calcium go too high (500 ppm) and my Alkalinity was staying too low. I pretty much have...
Do you want to sustain corals or do you want them to thrive and grow? PCs will sustain some soft corals but they will not thrive. I upgraded to 6x54W...
I use one to save real estate. The sand bed was full of all my Xenia frags. Moving them to the rack allowed me to free up space and put a clam on the...
I have two 3's in my 72.
I highly recommend the AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer with Maxi-Jet 1200 Pump. Works great and requires no adjustments. Can use it as a HOB or put...
Have you changed your lighting? I started losing it on my glass after I switched from PCs to T5s.
I don't use a cannister filter. Actually, my only filter is my skimmer. Only cyno I had was during initial cycle. I'm not sure if they're really...
Well, the guy at the LFS told me it was a favia. Doesn't mean he was right. How can I tell the difference between a favia and blasto? They look kind...
No, nothing else for 4-5 inches around it. Hopefully the lower light on the sandbed and the target feeding help.
Don't do the PCs. Not even for softies. Look at the difference in my Colt coral after switching from PCs to T5s. Can hardly believe the change...
I used one on my first tank years ago. Should be fine.
I was thinking the same think. Looks like he just set it up and dumped everything in and shot the video the next day. It looks way to unnatural and...
Welcome from the far NW suburbs.
I started adding phytoplankton about 3 times a week when I bought my clam about 3 weeks ago. I also feed Rod's food about 3 or 4 times/week. When the...
I bought this favia frag about a month ago. [IMG] I've noticed that it is in decline with polyp dieoff around the perimiter. I had it about half...
I bought this zoa frag a month ago. It used to look like this: [IMG] Now it looks like this: [IMG] So what causes the tentacles to get huge? Does...
I had the same problem with the same timer. It was the worst $50 I spent on this hobby. I now just use a power strip and individual $4 home timers...
Glad I was able to help someone. You have PCs now? I was quite amazed at the change. I bought the T5s so I could add SPS corals. My anemone loves the...
Not sure. The T5s are extremely bright though. I put a blister on my toadstool when I first transitioned and had to cut the hours way back. I spent...
Thought I'd share this observation with you. Maybe this should be in the lighting form instead of coral. Soft corals aren't supposed to have the...
