    Treated for Red Bug yesterday.

    well remember that as parasites they go around looking for a host so sometimes you may not see them but it does not mean they are not there.When stores buy from wholesales these dont have a specific tank for acroporas so they mix sps with lps and thus if a coral is infected all corals in this...

    What you think of my DIY calcium reactor

    Thanks everybody.Really apreciate all your coments. bc slc:The kalk reactor has a 5'' dia tube and is 15'' high,its got a 200 gph micro pump for recirculation and one equal to feed the reactor conected to a liquid level sensor.I dose 3 spoons of kalk on it at each time because the calcium on the...

    What you think of my DIY calcium reactor

    Thanks to all. krish75: The mag is 250 gph; the reason i used this one is because i drilled and taped a hole on the output line from the main pump to push water to the reactor therefore there was no need for a big pump to create enough suction to run the reactor and pull water from the sump...

    coraline algae

    Well, my salinity is 1.023 and before i used kalk PH would fluctuate 7.9-8.3 during the day but at that time there werent no coralline at all.When i started the use of kalk the rocks got stained with what i though was going to be coralline but that was it.It never really grew.I keep in my tank...

    Can you help me with an Algae ID

    Try ussing a kalk ractor.I had a similar problem and started to use kalk with very good results.The advantage to ussing kalk is that it gets phosphate out of solution making it unusefull for algae.This is important because there are diferent types of phosphate and test kits only messure...

    Can you help me with an Algae ID

    I have seen that type of algae in resent set ups and in tanks using refugiums with mud.I dont know if thats your case but in the case of the tanks ive seen it seems the mud is loaded with nutriets that are not eficiently removed by skimming.In any of the cases if there is not enough nutrient...
