    Swifty's 265 gal

    That doesn't hurt the corals any? I notice when some of my corals get flipped just for a day or two they look horrible. That could be because my tank chemistry is all out of whack too!:(

    Having trouble keeping alk up

    Just throwing this out there because of what Michael said, I am also running oceanic and am having the exact same problems you are. My calcium is way over 500 and I can't keep my ph up to save my life. I just started dosing a buffer to bring my alk up so we'll see if that works but I'm wondering...

    Finally! Gina's (NanoReefer411's) 180+tank upgrade! =)

    From what it sounds like you have to be really prepared to raise them before they hatch. Like having the phyto and copepods going already. Next time it sounds like you'll have a better hold on things with all the research you've done already! As far as Squeaky goes I really hope she makes it...

    Just curious

    okay, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if it was just the chemistry of different ingredients or the levels that shocked them.

    Just curious

    I know people talk about switching salts and how it can shock the corals. What about when you bring it from one tank to another. I know you acclimate them to a point but isn't it kind of the same thing? Say if I got a coral from someone who ran IO and in my tank I run Oceanic, I drop it in and...

    Sorry to hear about Squeaky. That really sucks. Hopefully she'll pull thru though. Animals are amazing and will surprise the heck out of you sometimes! As far as the clowns go, I hear they are really tough to keep but that is awesome that you are at least giving it a shot! Good luck with everything!

    Swifty's 265 gal

    Well just got in my white lightning pinwheel for my BM-250 and found one of the impeller shafts was broken. No wonder I had start up issues! lol...Anyway just got two carbon fiber replacements so they are on the way. Kinda stinks because my tank has a ton of cyano right now and I need the...

    Humidity Issues

    Awesome! I just moved it into the next room but its still only about 10-12 ft away. Better than 6 I guess.

    I'm thinking of buying a used chiller, is there anything I should be careful of?

    I would wait to buy a chiller until you know what your tank runs at naturally. I was going to buy a chiller too but then someone suggested throwing some fans across the top of the tank to drop the temp. It worked like a charm! So before you going spending that money I'd wait. There are cooler...

    Humidity Issues

    I really havent noticed a difference. I top off a 32 gal trash can once or twice a week and that hasnt changed any. I do think that it is sort of counter productive to have it that close to the sump though. I just wonder if it will work as well in the room next to the fish tank if the doors are...

    Humidity Issues

    Its about 6ft away right now. I am looking for a good spot to put it but I don't want it out where everyone can see it.

    Humidity Issues

    Yeah I have all sorts of fans down in my basement but the problem is keeping a window open for the humid air to escape. Since its an egress window snow can get down in there as well as rain and start to drip down behind my walls causing a whole other issue. I am looking into the lifebreath HRV...

    Thanks Krish! That was exactly what I was looking for!

    Humidity Issues

    Yeah, if I keep my fire place flu(sp?) open the condensation doesn't build up as much on my windows because the air is circulating but even with that I'm just letting money go out the window in heating. With the condensation though, all around my windows because they are the wood Andersen...

    Humidity Issues

    I was just curious to see what all people do to get rid of the all the extra moisture in the air? I recently got a 70 pint dehumidifier and its filling up twice a day! Yes, there is an option to hook up a garden hose for the continuous on cycle, but I wanted to see how much moisture was in the...

    calcium reactor

    Hey all, I just got back in town. Now to finish hooking this beast up. I came back to an aptasia outbreak and half my tri color colony dead. I know the calcium reactor wont kill the aptasia but one step at a time... :)
