    trouble maintaining ca levels

    IO salt has been know to be low in levels needed in a reef. look into possibly tropic marin pro. its what I use and i get over 400 calcium levels right out of the bucket. wit water changes only every 3-4 weeks you will still need a reactor, kalk, or 2 part to maintain.

    24 gal aqua pod

    if the aquapod is anything like my biocube it will have overflow vents at the top and the middle of the false wall correct? If this is the case block the lower vents with acrylic to firce the water thru the upper vents for better surface skim. also how are you running the returm pump? I put a...

    WELDON 3 or 4

    DO NOT apply weldon to a seam thats already been done. It will dissolve the existing bond and the only way to ever get it to rebond is to dissasemble and ssand the edge and then reglue it. its not like glue its a solvent where it actually chemically weakens the two pieces of acrylic and then...

    Great T5 Fixture Deal

    nice snag. I am not too sure about these but for the price what the heck. it states aluminum reflectors on the website but they dont look quite right to me. almost like plastic with a shiny mirror coating. but they will work for my needs and I can get away from the heat of my MH.

    any advice on a "hardy" fish?

    you CAN add another clown. I added a second false perc to my tank. just be sure the first one in is the smaller of the two to allow him to establish a territory. then add a larger one. there will be some "fighting" so to speak for a few days and even possibly a few weeks. dont worry, they...

    70W MH on a 45 Gallon?

    SPS is basically considered the "elite" level of reefkeeping. I have 90% softies in my tank with just 2 sps (green cap and green birdsnest) and a crocea clam. I am happy with my tank and love the way things sway in the current. they arent necessarily more beautiful but ARE more high maintenance.
