    55g shallow reef build

    Tank is running pretty good these days. I did acquire a 250W MH.. I don't leave it on for very long during the day when I get home though. Maybe 1 to 2 hours.. But my main parameters are running good.. About 1300 for Mag, 450 to 480 Cal. and pH at 8.4 to 8.5.. Coralline algae is growing a lot...

    Vortex Generator

    Is that plastic, if so I think you would get better results if you slow the feed rate down.. And or make sure your tooling, inserts, boring bars etc. are cleaned, sharp, and not burned up. The smoother the surface will be, I say it would certainly make the flow faster...

    newbie needs advice

    Stuff happens with live stock. I've been told and from my own experience, that not everything makes it through the acc period. And certainly if you never experience a healthy salt water tank, it doesn't happen over night. I've always heard be patient and water is the first thing to look at....

    Advice for newbie switching to led

    Be careful with the fans, from my own experience, when using fans, they didn't cool enough to make a difference. Only thing they did was make water evap faster, causing my salinity to fluctuate a lot.. Just keep ac up. and when lights off, turn ac down...

    Switching from LED to Metal Halides

    above is that with MH, both or just LED's? I'm seeing better growth with MH. Buut stilll leaning towards LED's for color....Has anyone ever researched the farming of corals and what they use when farming. I would go with that, and see what happens..

    Which Test is Correct...and Who do you trust?

    Well Ive been continuing to learn about the levels. And now days we buy salt with additives in it. So with the help of mistakes we as reefers get to experience first hand why the levels changed. The Salt I have has a high pH and calcium content. And not to long ago, my mistake, was reading a...

    55g shallow reef build

    Tank is coming along pretty nice. I accidentally over feed my corals last week. Caused a bio load, and I forgot to do a water change right afterwards and two of my Acro's bleached white real fast.. oooops... So did a 20 percent water change instead of a 10.. Everything is fine now.. Sooo I might...

    55g shallow reef build

    Tank is coming along nice. But I tell ya, torches sure are timid.. But they suffered from flat worms twice.. I thought heck how did they get in here. Well I didn't dip my cleaner crew. I'm sure they hitchhiked on the snails.. .

    55g shallow reef build

    Everything is coming along pretty well, but had a issue with my pinpoint calcium monitor going off all the time. Well just cut the wires and added a 9V 120V adaptor. So simple. I'm not sure why they didnt do this to begin with That was the first thought that came to my mine when I got them, 9V...

    Can I start with fish only while I add components for corals later?

    Cleaner crew, corals>1st< , feed them heavy lots of water changes, and as a cool member in here once told me, it takes patients to dial in a tank. Id worry about fish later, unless you want a couple small clowns or damsels. But be prepared for failure, because it can happen. The corlas can tell...
