*Bump*

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: You can have my man card snake. Cause I'm all woman :D even my swf name is girly. I let my kitty cat walk on the keyboard to make my name for this site, then I rearranged a couple letters so it was pronounceable lol. I think it would be best if there was...

I absolutely adore nudibranches. I get lost on pinterest sometimes for like an hour just looking at pix of them. I know some eat corals, so obviously it would have to be Fowler. Also, I know they have different feeding requirements, but surely there's enough different nudis to have quite a few...

Your Calcium level is OK but your Alkalinity is low.  See if you can bump it up closer to 12.  Alkalinity is more important than Calcium for coral growth.  Double check the ALK level again before dosing just to be sure.  It's not something you want to overdose. Baking soda will work.  Try adding...

Here's a good read: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/calcalkmar.htm It discusses the advantages and disadvantes of what we do to our systems. It also gives a wonderful visual description for the relationship between alk/ ca/ mag by comparing it to a bowl of marbles.

Hi, sorry I started this thread and forgot to check it. Ever since the forum has started redirecting me to the mobile site, I can't find a way to subscribe to the threads I post in so I don't get my notifications. Anyway.... to answer the questions, I decided to start dosing because my growth...

Currently, my calcium is at 340 ppm. It should be 400-450 right? I bought Kent calcium... they had red sea as well, but the LFS guy reccomended Kent if I've never used calcium products before (they were the same price, so I trusted the advice). Do I just dose the tank and test it the next day...

Ohhh good. I'm relieved to hear its not as bad as I think. And no it doesn't fall apart when I touch it. It still feels like what I'd imagine the top of a jellyfish would feel like and its reactive to touch. Thanks for the help everyone :D

A few weeks ago, we had a major power outage due to someone hitting a telephone pole. The power was out for about 12 hrs, thankfully its summer, so the temp didn't drop, but there was no light or water flow. All my other corals, sps, lps, and softies have all recovered except my absolute...

Eh, it was six 55g aquariums racked up. Not so impressive now. lol. still, 6 55s would be fun, then u could have different kinds of tanks! I've always wanted to do a cold water set up so I could have a Catalina goby, but I don't have the room for anything but one tank

Kilofey... are you a girl?!?! Providing they are perpendicular, I would assume that the 125-150ish range would be my personal max, without bracing it up. I'm sure your boyfriend can get under the house and brace it up if need be. My parents house was built in the 1930s, if that says anything...

Are you putting it on a first floor or a second? If you can, find the contractor who built your house and ask a structural engineer about the load. Its not as easy as parallel or perpendicular in my opinion. When i had 330g of water on my parents floors in their above ground house i went...

I have a crawl space. The house was built in 1987. I'm not sure which way the joists go but I can have my boyfriend check. I'm not sure where the place is to get under the house. Providing the joists are perpendicular, what would be the max gallons I could get away with? (Add 250 lbs for sand/rock)

I'd like to upgrade from 75 gal reef with 30 gal sump, but would a 125gal with 30 gal sump be okay? I have wood sub floors not concrete. I'm not sure if the wall it sits on is a load bearing wall, but it Seels like it would be. Its basically in the center of the house. What's the biggest tank...

Hi, Snakes advice really wasn't "bad" advice...but it could be if taken at face value, lots of folks read something and runs with it. Folks don't always use common sense, which Snake said he assumed they did.  I just think it's best to give the explanation when a broad statement is said...
