    Polyps

    Nothing has changed and the reason why I find it weird. Unless it's being irritated by fishes or hermit crabs could be reason for polyps not extending as much? Thanks for the reply :-)

    Polyps

    What makes the polyps on SPS come out more. What I mean by that is my SPS use to be pretty hairy or more polyps came out and now they don't come out as much any more. Thanks

    Lighting requirements for a 155 gallon

    I'm in the process of buying lights and have some question prior to palcing my order. I have a 155 (60X24X24) which I will stock with SPS, LPS, and soft corals. I'm leaning on 2-250 HQI Hanging Pendant either run by an icecap ballast or blueline ballast but I'm not sure if 2-250 plus 4-110...

    Ligthing for a 155 Reef Tank

    The tank is 5 feet long. I realize you can hang the pendant as high above the tank as one would like but I wanted to hang the pendant inside the halide canopy and that was my concern on how close is would be to the water or the top of the acrylic tank. How about 2-250 vs 2-400 HQI. Would having...

    Ligthing for a 155 Reef Tank

    I have several questions before I order my lights for my 155. I'm leaning on 2-250 HQI Hanging Pendant either run by an icecap ballast or blueline ballast. I'm not sure if 2-250 plus 4-110 actinics will be enough light for a 155 gallon which I will stock with SPS, LPS, Clams, and soft corals...

    Help ASAP - PH and skimming issue

    I have a 125 gallon tank and my PH is currently at 8.88 so I bought as Neutral Regulator by Seachem which states it will raise or lower PH to 7.0. I used it to dose my tank to lower my 8.88 PH. Upon application water in the tank became cloudy but it did gradually lower my PH to 8.6. I also used...

    What's up with my water?

    I have the same issue with very high CA. I use Oceanic which I hear is high on CA and low on Alkalinity. So I dose on Alkalinity but not CA. Even not dosing my CA still is up at around 500. I have a DSB so would that contribute to my high CA? Thanks
