    Annoying Alk & pH issue

    IMO there's alot more things going on to effect ph than just adding air from every source we can find and as for just raising alk to get higher levels thats short term gain. I had same problem and tried every thing and more it would go anywhere from 7.6 to 8.0 for over a year. I finally just...

    Anyone use NSW from the Puget Sound?

    I don't know about the west coast but here on the east coast you've got to go off shore atleast 35 miles to get quailty water. I've checked sq. near shore and it's always low due to fresh water run off from rivers and rain also you never know what kind of bac. you might be getting also

    With a tank that size you could grow anything you want with 24 to 36 three watt emitters and have more par going to your corals than if you had 250 watt MH. and no heat to boot

    my heat sink is 36"x10" and I'm running 8 reds and 8 greens without optics which seems to give a nice spred. Growth with Leds over my DT system has been great as for diffence with added color we will have to see due to the fact that this fixture has only been running for two days over my frag tank
