    My Zoo's aren't opening

    urchin

    The one you are describing sounds like a globe urcin. It is a sea egg. That means they live in the seaweed beds in shallow water. They are none to eat bryopsis. So they will do alot better with macro algae. They are not considered reef safe because they will get little things stuck to them for...

    They are doing great. But I had a problem with my ATO and Kalkwasser filled the tank and I lost about half of my frags. But Luckily I didn't lose any of my colonies or any super exspensive frags. How is your tank doin?

    250 watt MH over a 20gal?

    I have a 20tall plumbed into my 40 breeder and I am getting a great deal on a Corallife 24" 250wMH 2x65 watt PC 2xLED. Would this be too much for a 20tall. I am wanting to keep mainly sps but there will be some lps and softies in there.

    Possibly new lighting fixture, need help.

    Where are the lights placed, middle, front, back?How high above the water is the fixture? If it is to close that might be your problem. The light doesn't have time to distribute before it hits the bottom or bounces off somthing. I also see that you have 2 hydor Korolias over on that side. Is it...

    I have a current usa sunpod 36" 2x150w 14k and all my corals have been doing great. Try changing to higher quality bulbs and see if that helps.

    Making my sps thrive!

    I am thinking about going to a lower a lower kelvin for faster growth. I am not sure about the 10k but I might go down to 12k. I just really like the color of the sps with a higher kelvin and I would rather have the colorful corals with 14k then fast growing brown ones with 6500k. But I am going...

    Making my sps thrive!

    My friend has a single 250watt over his 40 and if it is not directly underneith the light it is in shadow. But wouldn't 2x150watt be more then a single 250watt?

    Making my sps thrive!

    I will look around and see what I can find on supplements (any suggestions?). And I don't need to be doing as may water changes? Should I cut back to 15gals a week (5gal on Wednesday and 10gal on sunday)

    Making my sps thrive!

    I will do some research on shallow sps and try to figure out which ones I need to move. So from what I understand this is about where my water should be at for my sps to thrive. calcium- 450 alk- 10-11dkh magnesium-1350 And I can achieve this by kalkwasser for the calcium and alk. And for the...

    Making my sps thrive!

    So should I trade some of my shallow water sps? How do I raise magnesium?

    Making my sps thrive!

    The only thing about switching my halides to 250watt is heat. How would I get my alk. up? I will try to get my calcium up by kalkwasser. Should I be testing for magnesium?
