    Using Carbon/Skimmer With Trace Elements??

    I actualy used reef crystals for quite awhile and then bought a bucket of Kent salt and was surprised that the Kent actually seemed to have higher trace elements than the Reef crystals. A LFS told me that Kent actually buys loads of IO and puts in there corral accell to boost everything up. I...

    Garlic

    I have used the garlic juice from MCcormicks from the grocery store for over a year with great success. I mix up one cap full with my food and freeze once a week.

    I need everyones advice.. Please

    why don't you try every other week so it's twice a month. Also be careful with the iodine. I dosed when I first got into the hobby and had terrible algae outbreaks. It turned out that the iodine was feeding the algae because the frequent water changes kept up my levels of everything besides...

    canopies washington

    Well after realizing how much I saved and making sure that this site does not sell canopies I decided to post this proposal to people if the moderaters let me.

    I need everyones advice.. Please

    Saltylakes. Why won't you believe that all you need is frequent water changes with calcium and buffer to keep most tanks happy and not all the other junk that you are putting in your tank. It really is not that hard to believe. If your polyfiter pads are looking good and you have done good...

    I need everyones advice.. Please

    Here is what I would do. Try weekly water changes of 5 gallons. This amount should keep your elements excluding calcium pretty high without the addition of all that other stuff. If you get a maxijet 1200 and a bucket then you could mix up the 5 gallons the night before and it only takes about...

    I need everyones advice.. Please

    How often do you water change. Can you list you maint schedule. A few little ( 5 gallon every day for a week or so) water changes may flush the tank of whatever is bugging the corals.

    Built my first Canopy

    I am in the navy and took a 5 dollar course at the base wood shop. So I went and spent 15 bucks on some 3/4 inch pine and hinges. Took me three hours and made an exact replica of a 40 gallon canopy ( 36-12-8 inches) that the LFS charges 95 bucks for. It is built better to. I never realized...

    carbon replacement?

    Diligent water changes is a good point. I do weekly 5 gallon changes right now and really like how stable the frequent water changes keep the tank.
