    I am blamming Oceanic Salt for coral loss.......

    Hey everyone! Well here is the latest news about my tank. After three water changes over two days I decided to wait a couple days before another change. So last Satuday I completed a fourth change. (all with IO salt) As of today my Tri-color now has its purple tips back the Xenia are pumping...

    I am blamming Oceanic Salt for coral loss.......

    Hi Middlemark! Well I have a Milwaukee PH probe in the tank I never noticed any spikes. So I guess I can eliminate that. On that note though after three water changes I have noticed that I have better polyp extension on my corals and my xenia are starting pump again. Those little pink fuzzies...

    I am blamming Oceanic Salt for coral loss.......

    Hey Everyone! The high alk was due to my overdosing. Although after a month of not of not dosing and multiple water changes the corals health declined rapidly. Especially fast after three back to back water changes over the coarse of three days using Oceanic. Now I am having the opposite effect...

    I am blamming Oceanic Salt for coral loss.......

    A couple months ago my tank started having algae problems. Not a big deal, I did a water change and added some more herbivores. A couple weeks go by and no change. Another water change and checked parameters. Holy cow my alk was over 16 DKH! Turned off the kalk reactor and did another water...

    Tank temp in the summer

    Well I didn't read the whole thread but your window a/c should do the trick. I installed one last year and it has done a good job so far. The best part is that it keeps me cool as well. I couldn't see spending the cash for a chiller when I can cool the whole room for half the price.....

    External Pumps... Sequence or ReeFlo?

    Hey everyone! Well I am getting closer to buying the pumps I need for my 375 gallon tank and have run into a problem... Which ones to buy... I was considering the Sequence 750 series for my sump return and the 1000 series for my closed loop. Then in come the ReeFlo series which are less...

    Hey Kevin! The tank looks even nicer that it did the last time I saw it. Great aquascaping... I might have to plagiarize it. :D

    CL water flow recommendations....

    Thanks for the info guys! I tried to call Paul and he did call back. Unfortunatly I wasn't there and everytime I call him I just get the machine. That sucks. I hate playing phone tag. :rolleyes: I was considering a Sequence 1000 series, the 5000SEQ22. They put out 4200gph at 8 feet...

    CL water flow recommendations....

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    CL water flow recommendations....

    Hey everyone! I am stuck on which pump to buy for my CL. The pump will need to push through an Oceans Motions 8 way. I have no Idea how much head pressure those produce... I am going to order it with 4 ports open instead of just two. I was thinking that 1000gph at each port would be best. That...

    Top-off and water change project.

    Glad to see you are still at it.... :D Looking good! I can't wait to see the finished product....

    Mini Water changing system....

    That would all depend on the output of the pump. Pumps will shut off at a certian amount of head pressure.... Maybe a MAG18 would be a good choice. They use 3/4" line and will pump 420gph at 15'.....

    Mini Water changing system....

    Hey! Yes I use it to mix the water over night. That way it is well mixed and heated to 78 degrees before I add it to the tank.... Previously I had to shake up the 5 gallon container I was using. Then I added an air stone and let it sit to help with the mixing. What a pain in the butt. Oh, on...
