    What is the next step

    Mag can decline slower in some cases ( not all ) for sure. But if mag is not kept within the right range you would know that alk & cal will not balance or remain stable & steady. Once again when talking price of mag test kit why not make it part of your weekly routine. My tanks mag declines...

    What is the next step

    You will find that if you start out with a few corals your water changes should normally keep up with demand and although I highly suggest you test for the big 3 (alk, cal , mag) I doubt you will have to dose extra for a while. I auto dose all the big 3 but certainly don't rely on guess work, I...

    yes he is Acanthurus Japonicus. Yes he is aggressive. If added to the tank last with established tank mates you shouldn't have a problem but try adding anything after and your going to have problems. The only fish we didn't get in this batch that we wanted was a foxface & a copperband. The...

    How to lower the Temperature

If temp gets to 24 heaters will auto come on, if it reaches 26 bank of computer fans (also off ebay auto come on). Its...

    You mean its got euro bracing. that's what the glass edges are called. They shouldn't be affecting the heat in your tank.

    Wow, great article. Thanks for that. I believe (hope ) we have removed it completley from the system. Time will tell I suppose.
