    Help with Softies

    I think the leather coral is due to the lighting and maybe some annoying snails. Will the leather coral acclimate or should I try to shield the light. I didn't expect some VHOs to have much affect when the corals did fine with MHs. I don't think the Xenia has a chance against the SPS. I was...

    Ca/Alk imbalance vs. pH....

    Yah, that was another thing I was thinking about. It says as close to 77 deg. as possible. I'm usually about 75 deg.

    Ca/Alk imbalance vs. pH....

    I think I've been overdosing Lime water wich has caused the percipitate. Trying to increase the PH. I going to go buy a decent color change test for PH and Ca. I can't find my color card for my alk test. My 3 year old daughter loved the purple colors on that card, humm! :?: Everyone I...

    Ca/Alk imbalance vs. pH....

    I wonder if it's my PH monitor. It is made by Hanna. It says that it automaticaly compesates for tempurature? When I test with color change test kit I get 8.4. When I test with my Electric PH monitor I get 7.9? I've calibrated it several times. Water changes lower my PH because my fresh...

    BTA Suicide?

    It looks like both are alive and well. I moved the small guy back to the tank. He was barely attached at the time (I was waiting for the right moment). The big one is still attached to the overflow but in the tank. I didn't expect it to split so soon. I did tons of reading before I...

    BTA Suicide?

    I received my first BTA yesterday from California. After being in my tank for a couple hours it looked fine but I noticed that it looked like it was tearing. I assumed it was going to split. Well last night it crammed itself behind my overflow and when I woke up this morning a quarter of it...
