What kind of tank do you have FO or reef? One more question what is your PH at. If it is normal I would not do a thing. If you have a reef or are thinking of starting one I would get a test kit for alkalinity that reads a number and not low, normal, and high.

To me it sounds like your alkalinity and calcium are not balanced. usually with calcium that high dkh should be somewhere aound 7. They work in conjunction with each other. For example my calcium reads 500 and my dkh is 8.4. usually higher calcium lower dkh. Sea levels are somewhere around 430...

Do you use RO/DI water for topoff and water changes? Tap water is usually high in phosphates, also certain foods like frozen shrimp can be high in phosphates.

I just looked on auction site saw it for $82 shipped

Thats good as long as alkalinity is good. Test it to see what it reads and post results. 480 I think is a perfect reading.

Mine did the same thing for a while. moved it around a couple of times and it still would not extend out. finally moved it back to it's origial spot now it fully extends and looks great. I think you should give it a few days then move it. What kind of lighting do you have? They are very finnicky...

Few more up close shots of Tank. Last one is of zoo colony I picked up earlier today for $15.

Great Pics!!

Some pics of of my zoos under daytime and actinics.

Not sure what the green stuff is called, was on the piece of rock when I got it. It also had a colony of green star polyps on it.

Just a Couple pics. The coraline is finally starting to take over.

I once had a lunar wrasse and it was one of the most aggresive fish I have ever had. They are beautiful fish but I myself would not do it. It beat the heck out of my Panda puffer and I took him back to the LFS.

Thanks for the feedback. I plan on placing an order for some more zoos from this site as soon as they get some more in. I ordered the colt, some brown zoos and a couple of mushroom polyps and everthing turned out great. Can't beat the prices and free shipping on $79 worth of product.

I don't have anything covering my tank. Those glass canopy's and plastic tops do nothing but collect salt creep. I have 6x65 watts pc lights and my temp stays rght at 80.5 degrees. I think it gives a lot better gas exchange to with no top. only drawbacks is if you have any fish that like to...

I've had the hippo for about 2 years. No problems what so ever. I know a 75 is pushing it for him but the only other fish i have is a percula clown.

Thanks JayC. Right now I am using PC lighting 6x65. 3 daylight 3 actinic. Plan on getting MH soon. Probably 2 250 watt and retro fit them with the PC's.

Tank looks great!!!! I wish I could get my coraline to take over like that.

I just added a Devils Hand and a Colt coral couple days ago. I've just been doing corals for about a month now. Please let me know what you think. All input negative or positive is appreciated

I'll take the wet dry email me chris.wells@insightbb.com

I have a 75 which I have been converting to a reef I was just wandering if anyone could tell me if my calcium is too high or ALK is too low I always hear is your calcium too high your alk is too low. Here are my tank parameters. Nitrite-0 Nitrate-10 ph-8.4 calcium-500 alk-3.21 S.G-1.025 I don't...
