    API Calcium test kit questions

    Today I tested it and it turned purple at 17 drops which is 340. I never see a change to dark blue unless I add 8-10 drops after purple at which point I would call it a true blue.

    API Calcium test kit questions

    Ok. can you take pictures of what you call your final color please? It may just be that my thoughts on what blue and purple and pink are not what I thought it should be.

    API Calcium test kit questions

    It does go from pink to purple-ish. The instructions say to let it go from pink to purple to blue and it should only take 1 or 2 drops after it turns purple but i never seem to get a true blue color. So is the drastic pink to purple color the change im looking for or do I need to keep going?

    4k sounds high but then again its an awesome set up and like you said you can sit on 4k for awhile and see and lower it later if needed. Thats the good part for you is you have time to wait.

    .... Do you deliver to Iowa..... HAHA jk. If/When you do sell this you should put the stipulation that they must post a picture of the setup on here once it is stocked and all so we all get to see the pay off haha. With how awesome your stand looks it shouldn't take long to sell for ya.

    Ciphers 120 Gal tank build

    Thanks guys. His tank was a 30 inches I think he said. I figured I should turn down the lights some just incase even though he had the 1200 watts (3 400Watt) halides over it. I will set them at 50% like you said. How slow would you go up on power?

    Can Anemones get diseases?? NEED HELP!!!

    I dont think its from new growth because yesterday they looked normal. They did split around the first week in January into 3 and then we moved them to this120 from a 30 gallon tank 1 month later. One of the 3 decided a couple weeks ago to commit suicide and jump into one of my powerheads and...
