    To Kalk or not to Kalk

    "Then, determined by my tanks needs (amount of coralline algae, amount and types of corals) I add the kalk to the make up water. Tanks with low evaporation rates and high calcium needs should probably seek other alternatives. " How would you guys recomend doing this? Thanks, Eric

    shaving brush

    how bright of lights do you need for shaving brush? Would 65 watts X 4 of pc lighting do the trick? Tank size is 55 gallons. Thanks, Eric

    How often would you dose kent's liquid calcium reactor in a 55 gallon tank? Once a week twice a week. This is a reef tank, no corals yet. But I plan on adding some next week. Thanks

    Nitrates Outta Control!!!!

    Sounds to me like your tank just fully cycled!!!! Do you some water changes every week and cut back on feedings. Also live rock and a DSB will have bacteria in them that break down nitrate so think about adding some to your tank if you dont already. Good Luck....

    Auto Topper

    Does anyone know of a good auto topper to get? It would be great if i never had to add water to my tank again except during water changes? Also how do you know how much water replace? Seems kind of tricky. Thanks, Eric

    Would copper in my qurantine cause an ammonia spike if it kills all the bacteria in the sand? :notsure:

    I dont think it is ick

    I have a 20 gallon long tank sitting and running in my room. I am already quaratining my baby yellow tang in there. Seems like I am in trouble. I dont want to treat the tang for no reason. Those engineer gobies are going to be an absolute pain to catch.:happyfish

    I dont think it is ick

    i meant to say does the ich have to spread or can it stay confined to just one fish?

    yellow tang fin erosin

    If it is the top fin it is farily common on a yellow tang. I am assuming you are talking about the unicorn appearence now. No one seems to be able to tell me why this happens but it is alright. Makes your fish special.

    I dont think it is ick

    Would Ick spread to the other fish in my tank? My Royal Gramma is always copvered in little spots. However he is still eating and looks fine. He is always wedging himself in rocks. I also have a percula clown and 2 engineer gobies who show no signs of it. this has been going on for 2 weeks...
