    help me identify this bad @$$ tort

    This pic was probably taken with just my Hamilton 14k's and 1 VHO bulb runnning, as I took the pic seconds after placing it into the tank. I have 2 14k's and 2 XM 10k's, so I will have to take a pic with all of the lights on, but this coral is freakin sweet and I cannot wait to see it grow...

    cloudy water ques.

    Thanks for the talk and info;) MH PS - so was the original question ever answered? Do you believe (to the best of your knowledge) it is the addition of buffer that turns the water cloudy or something comlpetely different:?:

    cloudy water ques.

    just found this, thought you might want to see This is off WWM and it looks as though this guy is seeing the same thing. The only difference I have with this guy is my whole tank has never gone cloudy. SO it does make me wonder who else sees this trend? Water tastes great and the phosphate...

    cloudy water ques.

    Thanks for the reply and helpful info. I understand they raise both raise Alk and PH. Also understand the balance between Alk, Calc, and MG pretty well(read a lot), but never saw anything but great color and growth so I didn't worry as much as long as my alk/calc was stable. But RO/DI water...

    cloudy water ques.

    Ca and Alk definitely tested for with Salifert. Mg I am just starting to test for as softies didn't care much, but since I have moved to sps I am. I always had to use buffer for IO, as the ALK and PH are low when using RO/DI water. Or at least mine was. I just started using RC, so next time...

    cloudy water ques.

    I have wondered this forever, but it never really mattered too much as I never kept anything that difficult. Now that I am on to sps, I have to ask. I was going to do a water change over the weekend and my RO water (before any salt) was super clear. I added some buffer and still very clear...

    help me identify this bad @$$ tort

    Lighting = 2 Hamilton 14k 175w moguls on both ends and 2 XM 10k 250w moguls in the center. 2 60" VHO Super Actinics. I saw the same arguing post you are referring to, but yesterday I did find a site that sells ORA peices and it did say ORA blue\green tort (German I think). MH

    help me identify this bad @$$ tort

    If you do not mind..can you tell me about the placement of this coral in your tank. i.e. very high, strong flow, etc. I would hate for this coral to lose its color;) Thanks Again, MH

    seio 1500 won't hang

SO if anyone has seen this before and has a remedy please advise. Also if...

    New Purple Rim Cap

    Thanks Kevin. I was waiting to hear from you. I too was thinking something either landed on it, so I did poor some water over it while acclimating to be sure it was clean, or it was like the other post said could be minor changes in light. But after hearing from you I am like:D This is one...

    New Purple Rim Cap

    This mark was already on it when I purchased yesterday, so maybe it was from the differences in his tank's lighting and where he actually got it. yes it is quite the looker. I am thinking of making room in the center of the tank for it to grow huge:D MH

    New Purple Rim Cap

    Thanks Again, it is much appreciated;) MH

    seio size ?

    Thanks I was worried. I have heard they have a gentle flow, but have never seen one up and running. So you think 2 1500 should be sifficient? Also what seems to be the best/preferred mounting position since they come with so many. MH
