    About done setting up the frag tank. How long before adding SPS?

    I ended up ditching the rotameter as well. Was not as consistant over time as I'd like. I finally just drove my ca reactor with a Litermeter dosing pump. No more problems.

    Correct Flow for SPS?

    I read a good thread on another forum talking about flow in a sps tank and several people also mentioned its more important to have easy alternating flow throughout the tank than to have massive flow. An interesting thing happened to me a while back. I have a 90 gallon tank and I have 2...

    Mr. Calfo. dosing with vitamin C

    When is the last time you calibrated your refractometer??

    I know Randy Holmes Farley has a DIY 1.026 salinity solution to check your refracto with using table salt and a 2 liter bottle full of water. I did it and worked like a charm.

    urgent help

    How are you testing your Nitrates and P04? The only way to get a decent reading on your p04 is a hannah meter. If your using a kit then I'd say its WAY off. Good luck. Chris

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    Umm I'm using about 3 - 4 cups of rowaphos in my DIY phosban reactor. I used an RO cannister with a replacable DI cartridge as my phoban reactor. I started out with a low flow, barely seeing the media move, then I cranked it up to a pretty good flow after a couple weeks. From what I...

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    A little weekend update.. Well I finally made it to the LFS Saturday and had my po4 tested with their Hanna Meter. Its came down from .14 to .06 I'm happy but I've still got a little ways to go. So I was standing there at the counter waiting to get my p04 tested and look up and see the...

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    OK a little update! Now I know its not my imagination. Its been three weeks running GFO (Rowaphos) and I can tell that my corals coloration is definatley improving. Several corals in my tank have shown a nice improvement already. Others I can tell a slight improvement. My Cali Tort...

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    Oregon Tort This should be enough to document the corals recovery (hopefully) now that I am working to get the PO4 down from .14 and added the Litermeter to hopefully keep the Alk in the 8-9dkh and stable. Chris

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    Hey Acro.. Well I thought I was going to get a new skimmer but the CFO just gave me the thumbs down. Bummer. Seems she thinks I've spent enough for a little while on the reef. I will say the main thing that drew me to the Bubble King is that it seems to be a top quality unit and THE MAIN...

    Anyone Use Auto Fish Feeders ?

    I have a "Donut looking thing" that floats on top of the water surface just below my auto feeder. It has a suction cup that attaches to the side of the tank to keep it in place. Just a couple bux. Does the trick. They sell them at the LFS.

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    Also a little update 1/14/08 After the first week of GFO in a reactor, it might be my imagination but I think I notice colors of my coral coming out a little.. Slightly but better than nothing. PE is still not that great. Even at night. So this weekend I cranked up the output of the GFO...

    Still not happy with my SPS coloration

    Hey Thanks Trey. I can't really take credit for the kalk reactor though. I got the cylinder from a guy that participated in a local reef club Acrylic workshop. Traded him for a couple frags. Pretty sweet deal. He's a nice guy. I just drilled it and put in the plumbing with the...

    Anyone Use Auto Fish Feeders ?

    Umm I can't remember the name of it but it has an electrical cord with it (the only one that does) and I got it from Premium Aquatics and it was around 50 bux. Actually I have been using this thing every day for the last 4 or 5 yrs I'd say. You can probably see them on the Premium...

    Anyone Use Auto Fish Feeders ?

    I've worked out of town m-f for the last several years and have used a 7 day electric feeder. I feed 2x/day and have never had a problem with mine. Works like a champ.
