    PH plummeting....need help

    I do use a Pinpoint PH meter. It has always been real close to my FasTest granular PH kit. The probe looks clean but I will clean it tonight any way. I sure wish I had some calibration fluid left. The FasTest kit result was Yellow in color which is off the chart on the low end. The thing that is...

    PH plummeting....need help

    No sump but airstone is in tank and pump is out the window getting some of this fresh Alaska air in there. Lights just went off when I plugged in the airpump though. Kinda hard to see a trend just yet.

    PH plummeting....need help

    I am from Ketchikan in the southeast panhandle. Heres the deal. Went to Seattle and brought my skimmer to get it modded by my LFS. So no skimming for a week now. My New RO/DI setup was first used for this Water change. It sat in a closed container unmixed for a couple days. Maybe the lack of O2...

    PH plummeting....need help

    Did my first water change today withy RO/DI water. Was getting .4 ppm after the DI. ALK is 9.2 But PH is 7.06 and still falling, was 7.6 to 8.18 depending on light cycle. Add baking soda or what? Mixed reef tank is 1.5 yrs old

    Nanostreams and MH Bulbs

    I have both, and true the nanostreams are smaller. but the two halves of the cage do not fir together well. Kind of hokey for such an otherwise quality brand IMO. Korallia have great flow/pattern but are longer and you need to be very careful when taking them apart for maintenance, they have...

    Epsom for Magnesium maintenance

    Since I have been having low calc issues as well, I wonder if using Red Sea salt or IO pro reef with boosted calc will help with that issue. I only have a few small sps right now so my demand for calc is medium at best. But I am wondering if one of these brands has more magnesium than the...

    Epsom for Magnesium maintenance

    So something like Kent Tech M is not a good idea?

    Epsom for Magnesium maintenance

    I have discovered my magnesium level has dipped to 1100 and I want to bring it back up. It probably happened gradually. I have not been testing for Mag hardly at all. I also started dosing Kalk to ring up the Ca but read that Ca will precipitate out if the Mag is too low. I am still learning...
