    Strange discoloration event

    Also, BTW, do you have a PAR meter? I know you said that it is under an overhand and not getting much light, but perhaps there is more light...

    wet or dry skimmate?

    wet or dry skimmate?

    The skimmate properties could change because the skimmer is breaking in or due to the chemistry of your water. Most new skimmers tend to have oils...

    Strange discoloration event

    Not much unfortunately besides a Poly-filter. Also, could run Cuprisorb, it won't "test" per say, but it will remove many metals. So, if you start...

    Excess Light Doesn't Cause Coral Bleaching

    Mostly molecular biology and biostatistics. Currently in working in biostats though; so, I use reefkeeping for my biology fix ;D

    Dr.Tims Pearls VS BRS bio pellets

    No, LOL, not saying that. I'm saying carbon dosing is very useful, but presents risk, and can cause more problems if not used carefully. I try...

    Excess Light Doesn't Cause Coral Bleaching

    Excess Light Doesn't Cause Coral Bleaching

    As to mechanisms of bleaching, I think there is even still some debate whether or not it is host or symboint initiated. However, it's safe to say...

    Dr.Tims Pearls VS BRS bio pellets

    I don't know about saving corals. Carbon dosing, such as BP can help increase growth rates and coloration of corals by reducing nutrients. It's a...

    Leds for my 75g reef tank setup

    the Apolos look good, but I'd probably wait for the dimables. Basically, you'll want around 200W with 60 deg optics. It depends what you want to...

    How do I raise my PH

    There are only 2 ways. Increase alkalinity or decrease CO2. Kalk will do both, but beware, if you increase alkalinity too much, the result will be...

    Phoenix problem

    they are HQI spec'd. So, if your running a 150W, the ballast should say "ANSI M81" or "ANSI M81E". For 250W, "M80" or "M80E"... Some HQI bulbs...

    Excess Light Doesn't Cause Coral Bleaching

    Generally temperature is the cause of bleaching, however light <400nm, alone, can cause coral bleaching. Light <400nm or >=400nm can cause...

    is it possible to overpower coral with lights?

    The 250W MH, but the 8 T-5s should cover it, unless I'm misunderstanding something? I agree, it's tough to get a single MH to cover much more than...

    Low Ph 7.59 using calcium reactor

    Baking soda adds alkalinity, but also adds CO2. The result of the CO2 is that while the alk goes up, the pH does not. So, no, this will not help....
