    What's your worse tank related flood??

    It was a lot of water, but luckily it was in the garage and the house is at just the right angle and it drained out of the garage away from the house. Chris

    What's your worse tank related flood??

    Well, mine was about 5 or 6 months ago when I had just switched my ampmaser 3000 out for a sequence hammerhead, but I had apparently forgotten to put a hose clamp back on one of my hoses and my wife called me at work to tell me that there was only 2-3" of water left in my tank and no water in...

    Help! Slow growth

    Well, I rechecked my levels just now and the alk is down to 9.9, but the Ca has only come down to 485. Is it going to take longer for the Ca to come down then the alk? Thanks, Chris

    Help! Slow growth

    The only sps that really grows well is my monti cap and the growth on the other is thin not thick like a lot of the other tanks I see. How do you suggest I pull down my Ca, Alk and Mg? Chris

    Help! Slow growth

    I have always had slow growth in my tank, but I figured it was probably because of the 20K light I use. For the last year and three months I have been using 14K and 10K bulbs but my growth was still slow. So today I went and bought new salifert test kits tto see if some of my parameters were...
