bump.

This is my post so I obviously win

my phosphates are at 0.5 so I bought a phosphate reactor and some phosphate remover..should I use this or is 0.5 an acceptable level ? also keep in mind I'm trying to get some algae growth in my tank for the inverts and CC and LMB to eat, so they won't strave.

I just upgraded from my 55 to 120 and I used most of the 125 lb's of LR to put into the new tank (still looks empty )anyways, theres no algae at all on the glass or anywhere but the some that was on the LR I wanna make sure the CC can survive and the LMB can live but there is no algae yet..I put...

The top 3rd of my DT has tiny bubbles like micro bubbles maybe from the skimmer being broken in it's a new 125 super skimmer and a new mag 12 i've heard it can take 5 days to break them in.. maybe the bubbles are from the PH's i'm not sure but how do I get rid of them ? I tried moving around...

when ppl say some corals need 20-30x over per hour what's that based on..just doesn't make sense to me anyways I belive the PH I have and the flow in the tank is really more than sufficent. So imo in a 120 creating reverse currents with a koralyia 3 and a mag2 not including the filters etc... is...

Some people like to be clean but no offense to any1 ,I have to shower 3x a day because I have ocd and have to have my tank looking perfecto.. lol no pun intended..T^

I do not belive that this ANemone is bleached or unhealthy at all it has been thriving for 8 months and looks the same as when I bought it same color except a hint of browm or tan a bit more. oh it also grew like 3x since i got it.

I just upgraded from my 55 to 120 there's no algae at all in this new tank yet and the LMB looks to be getting thinner it's been 1 day can it be possible that he can get that thin in 1 day ? or maybe he looks smaller cuz of the bigger tank. heres some pictures but i doubt that say a 1000 words...

good to know thanks

I have a 36 gallon sump I have a mag 12 and a koraliya 3 I belive this is more than enough flow as all the corals are swaying nicely and look good even a day and a half after the upgrade. I was worried it was too much flow if any just my opinion.

We'll have to do something about that

I'll go with a papper towel and a brush, Thanks. I also use warm/ to hot water it really helps get the gunky stuff off...and so far no breaking of the collection cup.

I run 2x250 MH lighting along with 4x65w actincis I run the MH's for 4-5 hours a day and the actinics for 10-12 hours per day .. This is def. not bleached.. thanks for the I.D. I recall the name when I bought it and it is indeed "Stichodactyla gigantea"

Can you use a kitchen sponge to clean the collection cup of your protein skimmer ?

Did all my tests and looks like the upgrade was a huge success !! here they are after the transformation of 100 inverts 35 corals and 10 fish lossed 1 scarlet hermit crab. Temp : 78F Sal : 1.025 PH :8.2 Ammonia : 0 Nitrite : 0 Nitrate : 2.5 Alk : 10.5 DKH Calcium:450 Magnesium : 1200 Phosphates...

going on 8 month now what makes it so difficult ?

Can anyone identify this Anemone ?

I have a bunch of sps I had them in my 55 with 1300 gph they thrived...it'll have to do maybe i have some more flow with the skimmer or wet/dry or overflow corner area whatver else is in there..

Is this too much flow for a 120 gal. RT I'm running a mag 12 and a Koralyia #3 I belive that around 2000 toatal GPH Thanks I have the Mag 12 on one side of the tank and the Koralyia on the opposite side to create reverse currents.
