    1000 Gallon

    Brett, what moron wears a dress shirt to help move a 1000 gal tank?:) Your tank is SWWEEETTT!! PS. It is a cab and chasis made specifically to be the same height as Brett's stand (we got lucky, except the guy who got cracked in the nose by the suction cup...OUCH!)

    Co2

    I agree. I am still a newbie too mattleycrue76. You won't learn anything by not asking. Just remember to be careful about taking everything you hear as gospel. It's good to get a range of feedback from different people. Just because it works for one person doesn't mean it works for...

    Co2

    I did mean bubble. Sorry. My calcium levels have been low. I measure everyday with Elos test kit. I have been using Cbalance to get back up to 400. I drew a line on the calcium reactor with a dry erase marker to measure the media. I have a PH probe in a cup already and I cannot get it...

    Co2

    Can CO2 go bad? I had a CO2 bottle in my garage for awhile (3 years). I hooked up my calcium reactor and I have the drip pretty high and it doesn't seem to be melting the coral very fast? Is there any suggestions on why I am not melting?

    Actinic Bulbs

    I need to replace my 4 vho's for the first time. They are currently 48" URI. I think one is a super blue actinic and the other three are white. Does anyone have a recommendation of what bulbs I should buy and where? Maybe a actual parts description. I am noticing that there are a ton out...

    Glue Question

    for a split sec I thought it was funny and then I thought oh dangit, that is not a cheap fish.

    Glue Question

    I just recently glued a coral to the rock with some of the great stuff that Mike ordered (ICY-GEL). My Laveander Tang came up right after I glued and glued his lips shut. I fed them and it looks like he is able to open his mouth at this point but the glue is still stuck to his lips. Has...

    Calcium Reactor

    Calcium Reatcor It is a DIY. It took some time to hook up and figure out with everyone's help. Now I am just trying to dial in.

    Calcium Reactor

    I am trying to dial in my calcium reactor and I was told that with a PH meter I should measure around 6.5. Right now I am measuring 7.5. Is this accurate information, if so do I raise my CO2 drip in order to lower this #? How would I go about fixing this? Thanks!

    calcium level

    I used a refractometer for measuring.

    calcium level

    30 percent water change. 1.025 is the salinity level before and after. Instant Ocean is the salt I use.

    calcium level

    It is a montipora. I have had it for probably 8 months now. I went ahead and did a water change for good measure. I thought maybe doing a water change would bring down the calcium level, but it looks about the same. Does that seem right?

    calcium level

    oh, I almost forgot. I have about 5 sps and 4 lps. RBTS, Mushrooms, zoas. Not much. I did not want to put to much until I made sure that the new tank was running well.

    calcium level

    I have a 125 tank with refugium. I am running carbon and a calcium reactor. I just got the calcium reactor going about 1 month ago. All of the other water parameters are running perfect from the tests that I did. Up to that point I was dosing C-balance. The tank has been running for about 2...

    calcium level

    My calcium level is at 490. My tank was doing well until today I found a coral with RTN. So I was wondering if this might be to high? I just bought a sand sifting goby and my tank is real cloudy from him sifting through the sand. Could that be a problem?
