    Geek, that's what it tested last night with the lights out(I should have clarified that)...I ran out of pH test stuff so I gotta get some today, somewhere. I hate to have to drive an hour for one pH test kit......I'll let you know what it all comes out to be tonight after work and when I get the tester...

    as discussed the the salinity and Ca could use adjustment. are you running a Ca reactor? or a skimmer? how is your flow set up? imop, the tanks not degassing the excess CO2.

    take geeks advice on CaOH2, tricky stuff.

    All this chemistry talk is great but my first thought was how old are your bulbs? Just a consideration... *shrug*

    ReefGuru...yes I have a skimmer(AquaC Remora) no on the calc reactor.

    Get this ya'll........I get home from work tonight and my hubby has made a trip to Augusta to "bring his mom to the dr" well he says I have a valentines present but I have to look for it..... I said you went to the fish store didn't you.....YEP man I wish I knew he was gonna do that....ughhhhhh now what? I don't even know what they are..... this is what he got me........really nice that he did that, but he takes no interest in my tank what so ever except to ***** that I spend too much $$ on it....... and I don't even want to know what he spent on them. also while he was there he was looking at their show tank and asked how long it took them to get it to look like that and the guy of course tells him 3 months, so he starts asking questions, the guy said for me to email pics and he could tell me what was wrong with mine(yeah just by looking at it) I sent him a real long letter and attached about 50 photos and told him everything...let's see what he comes up with....on with the pics...

    No Reef Tank not covered, about 5-4 inches between water level and lights. Koralia3, Maxi Jet 900(?), Tunze 6045(I think)......
