    Alkalinity

    So I’m running an SPS dominate tank and want to dirty it up a little. Not really trying to increase the PO4 but would like to get the nitrates to around 5-6.

    Top off water for quarantine

    So I’m treating a few fish in quarantine with cupramine. Does top off water have to be dosed or does the cupramine stay with the salt water? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Funniest thing

    So I read a blog where someone was talking about the activity of fighting conch’s. The blogger said that they will not climb rock work. I must have the two that went to acrobat school. Lol. Funny little buggers. Climbing a vertical glass wall to get to algae. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Par meter

    Does the club still gave Par meters that are available for members to use. I seem to be burning up corals even though I have my hydra26's down below 45%. Alkalinity has been stable at 8.5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
