Exactlyobp is on to something there. Inverts, and especially starfish, are very sensitive to PH flucuations. You could have unknowingly been spiking...
Dont get me wrong, I love animals, but aren't there more important things in this world to get active in or devote your time to? Example: there...
A slow tumble should do it. Be aware that those beads will quickly absorb the phosphate, but once they are exhausted, will start to release phosphate...
I would slowly change them out with the old bulbs over 1-2 weeks, or the sudden increase in PAR will potentially fry some corals!
Well, I took the opportunity to test the LFS's mag with my kit the other day, and it tested spot on 1350. So my mag kit isn't bad. So, why am I...
You couldn't afford it, lol... ;)
Sweet chromis. I love them, as simple as they are. They're such social butterflies. Mine try to school with my two tangs, lol. Plus, they pull all...

And the finished product... homemade Kansas City BBQ sauce with a special rub underneath, smoked with cherry wood... it was awesome ;D [IMG]
FYI, 1 tsp baking soda = 1 dKH rise in my 90, for a point of reference. Go slow.
Here's the Alk part. Chemistry and the Aquarium Um, not sure about Mag, I think it's related. Have you been dosing mag?
You could look for the next Bulk Reef Supply group buy, which will save you about around 10-20% on typcial prices. Or organize one yourself and get a...
I highly recommend the mod... much better peace of mind :) Welcome to the BP club!
Home from work on paternity leave, so what's better than spending the day smoking some ribs? 225 for 6-7 hours should just about do it......
Amazing variety of color!
Thanks John. I owe a lot of what I've learned from you. Not quite sure what happened. I've read that rics don't do well in LNS environments, and...
