    Toadstool frag & zoo frag

    I must be a big wuss when it comes to attaching stuff to rocks. I tried to wedge the leather frag in between two rocks and it must've pissed him off cuz he squirted at me, lol. :eek: Is he ok to leave there???

    MH Lighting - Questions about Strange Behavior

    I went through this with my flourescent lights. Too blue, too white, my husband almost killed me. I finally settled with a blue and a white. Still not quite what I wanted but until I get a better grip on what lights produce what colors, lol, I will stick with what I have. My metal halide...

    First tank disaster.........

    Ok, thanks!!!! quote=Herefishyfishy;314104]Assuming that your tank has no leaks (not always a safe assumption) and that your measurement of salinity is accurate, than the best guess as to where the salt went, would be in the skimmate. Keep it set for dry skimmate and ignore the skimmer when...

    First tank disaster.........

    Actually, I don't allow the two in the same room, lol, for that very reason.

    First tank disaster.........

    It goes back and forth since I manually add water, I have to then adjust the skimmer. I've had sludge and I've had overflows of "beer" after adding water. I have it adjusted lower right now.

    First tank disaster.........

    Is it "normal" for a new skimmer to do that?????

    First tank disaster.........

    I use a refractometer and check the calibration with purified water.

    First tank disaster.........

    I add fresh water almost daily. I won't have an ato until my new sump comes in. Tank size is 90 gallon. I didn't have any water spillage or anything so I am just at a loss (so to speak). :(

    First tank disaster.........

    Probably so, I have had alot of evaporation lately. Especially since I got my new skimmer. Adjusting it etc, figuring out where to set it since it was brand new and was breaking in. Yet another valuable lesson learned.

    First tank disaster.........

    So i had my first disaster in my tank. Everything in my tank looked like crap, crusty sand, wimpy looking coral etc. I guess my salinity had dropped to 1.016 and for some idiotic reason, I hadn't tested it for two weeks. :mad: Once noticed, I did a water change and it is now up to normal. I...

    Why all of a sudden...

    I am having this diatom explosion myself right now. The sand looks like crap!! It will clear up.
