    How to raise PH & Calcium

    I wanted to know how to raise my PH & my Calcium levels. Is there something that I can buy that will do both? A friend on here gave me some baking soda that has been baked. I think he told me that was good for raising both. Does anyone know how much I am supposed to use in a 92 gallon tank? Any...

    hello all

    I am not all that partial to the stores, you will find much better quality & prices from people selling stuff on here :) If you are ever out this way though there are a couple of good ones. Good luck!

    I have been reefing for 1 1/2 years so I think that still kinda makes me a newbie! I am definately just getting my feet wet with hard corals since I have only done softies up until now :) Having fun though!

    Painting the back of my tank

    Wow, that tank looks amazing! Very artistic! Was it your idea or did you see someone else do that before? Turns out I did not even paint the tank back after all. Since it is a corner tank & bowed in the front the sides almost look like mirrors & I can see the back of my rockwork.

    Shout Out

    Everything is ok with the new lighting but I have it pretty high up right now & am alternating the lighting (adding gradually during the day) so that for the first few days everything gets used to the metal halides. I am so in LOVE with the shimmer that the halides give the tank. I have finally...

    Sump Question

    It is only in the skimmer chamber. Not the other chambers of the sump or in my display tank. I do have some carbon padding I could use in the first chamber. Had planned on it to cut down on some of the noise of the water flowing in & also trap debris.

    Topping off water...

    Not going to use the vho's unless you think they are better than whats under my hood now. I am not sure what ballast the ice cap is...

    Topping off water...

    OK, you can come over & help me with that when you come over to wire my lighting this weekend ;) You gonna be available on Sat? Oh & I still cannot get those stupid VHO's to work, something fishy with the wiring. Would like to get them working too.

    Sump Question

    Got a better pump for the return & am using a Berlin skimmer. everything is doing good except the film... will try to run a tube up closer to the top of the chamber to pull the water more from the top. Finally got my foam right too on the skimmer... finally! I was about to go crazy!

    Sump Question

    Anyone? Want to try to fix this if it is bad before I move any more of my stock over from my other tank...

    That is a great idea!

    Topping off water...

    I designed the tank stand so that it is higher than a regular stand & open for easy access to everything under. I will try adding to the sump. Thanks!

    Sump Question

    I have set up my new tank & have a 4 chamber sump under. In the compartment with the skimmer there is a film of stuff on top of the water. The other 3 compartments are clear on top & my main tank is too. Is this normal to have a film on top of the skimmer one? If not, what do I need to do?

    Topping off water...

    Ok, this may be a stupid question but I have never had a sump before. When I am topping off water do I add it to my sump or the main tank?
