Well i am putting in "reef builder" it has calcium, stronium, Magnesium, and Potassium in it.It also helps maintain my PH. All these are good for a reef tank right??

Originally Posted by pleasants9 sounds like water condition/ params to me, it took me two try with caps just because of my water quality but the seocnd try is doing fine under my PC's. I think you have enough lights for the acan, but it would have to be in the upper half of the tank. You can...

I have a 140 tank with currently power compacts 2 12000k daylight and 2 True blue actinics and all 4 of them are 96watts. so thats 384 watts. Is this a good amount of lighting to make my 140 a good reef tank i am only trying for Soft corals and some LPS's.

OK i have a 140 and about 8 corals still trying to fill up my tank they all are doing great except my GSP wont open I have never tested my calcium i am going to my LFS tomorrow to get a test kit. What should my calcium be reading? What is ideal for a reef tank? They have a "Seachem" Calcium...

OK my Power compacts are two 12000K daylights and two True actinics. All 4 said they were 96watt My tank is a 140 gallon i was planning on putting them up high at the top of my tank. Are these good lights alot of wattage???

Ive read on a couple websites acans juist need moderate lighting and power compacts will do is this true??? I forgot my wattaged i will check but if they are up high in my tank will they do good?

But if they do like my water they will spread with my power compacts?

o No thats not what i have ill try and get a good camera and take it. But ive been searching the web and cant find anything these things can possibly be besides tiny bristle worms/stars one red and whit and the other green and white
