    Birdsnest prob.

    LPS are not nearly as light demanding as SPS so you should be fine.

    Research has shown that you actually get better growth under 20k's under good conditions

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    For the time being after testing again today my calcium only depletes at about 20 a week...I went from 500 to 480, and I was adding alkalinity once a day 3 out of the 5 days this week and it went from 7 to 9

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    I'm looking for the best way and simplicity and it seems that a kalkwasser drip would be best? But I need a little more info on how to do it...the recipe was mind boggling

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    The reef complete contained calcium and magnesium so I probably assumed it was in the right range, I'll go get a test kit soon!

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    Well I'd add 4 tbs of reef builder = 12 grams, which is the highest they recommend adding in one day. I'd test it before and it was 5, so I figured if I add 12 grams a day to raise it up one dkh then it'll be back up in 5 days...well the next day i tested it its still at 5 so to say the least I...

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    That's what I was trying to do, I took my water to a good LFS around here to get it tested, and thats where I switched my product to B-Ionic. I kept running out of the reef builder and reef complete and that gets pretty expensive at 9$ every 3 weeks a piece. I left my calcium at 500 and am not...

    Crucial factors to maintaining a successful SPS tank

    Since sometimes I'm not always able to give the tank 24/7 attention (as im sure almost everyone else isn't either!) I like to try and keep things as maintenance free as possible...cleaning the glass,lights, cleaning the collection cup are basically the only things I do to the tank aesthetically...

    Pairing Pink Spotted Watchman Gobies

    How do you go about doing this? I've been trying to look online and I haven't found information on how to pair the actual fish not just them and a pistol shrimp.

    New SPS from my FL frag pack

    Many of them have been rearranged to get more distance but for the most part i'm banking on them just setting up a DMZ on that side of the coral

    And believe it or not the left side bulb is the one that got replaced for free by the place I got it from when it went out in the 1st 2 months along with a new ballast

    Possibly new lighting fixture, need help.

    Also you see the spot in the middle because of the support plastic thing running through the middle that i can't stand! Next tank in the future will be the oceanic ones with starfire front glass or whatever it's called that doesn't need the brace

    Possibly new lighting fixture, need help.

    Right lower down, 14000k is my baby! lol its my favorite color bulb but I've switched the bulbs and replaced the ballast and its not the bulbs I think it has to do with the salt creep from the evaporation in the overflow cause I keep having to clean it off and reflecting off the overflow
