motameto, You are welcome! The rules against posting info about other vendors prevents me from posting where I got mine but if you go to Yahoo and do a search for "geo calcium reactor" you will find online vendors that sell my model. Items needed 1.The reactor (Apx $280) 2. CO2 regulator &...

Everything looks pretty good except the Carpet Anemone. In a 26 gal you will run out of room in a hurry. The carpet would fill half the tank in no time and grow from there! Just make sure you have enough quality light for the corals you are looking at. Good luck!

There is no real break in period. It is just a matter of getting your levels of CA & Alk to stay at the same level everyday. Take a look at my response to your question in the other thread (https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/128218/calcium-reactor ) Take care!

I always recomend that you get your alk & calcium where you want it before you start your reactor. It is a lot easier to dial it in that way. Your best bet is to use some Kent Super PRO DKH and get your alk up to where you want it (ex Ca -450 Alk -11 DKH). Next, figure out your CO2 bubbles...

Acropora Yongei, Acropora Millipora, Pocillipora, Acropora Horrida all seem to grow pretty quickly for me.

Euroreef ES5-2 I have tried several types and styles of skimmers and the Euroreef outskims all of them combined!!

A calcium reactor is a device for adding equal parts of alkalinity and calcium to your system. They are nice to have because once they are "dialed in" they require very little maintainence and only minor adjusting sometimes for up to 6-8 months (which is much better than dosing additives...

Most likely normal infauna (Isopods, copods) which are a normal and benificial part of a reef sytem.

How many times have you gotten water from them? have you measured the levels every time? It is possible that you have gotten a bad batch somwhere along the line that has elevated your numbers. There was a problem with IO a little while back that was causing elevated alk. I would try doing a...

What kind of salt are you using? Anything else that you may be feeding that could cause the high reading?

Are you adding any additives at all other than water changes? What kind of salt are you using ? Are you using well water?

This is off of a fish vendor site under the description for the Pink Spotted Watchman Goby. "It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair"

How high is it?

NM, Looking awesome as always! I love the full tank shot - it really puts into prespective how many great corals you have in there!!! How is that Flame Angel? Does he give any of your corals or clams any grief? Very nice!!!!:) :) :)

Keep your Calcium at 400-450 and your alkalinity at 8-12 DKH and you should be able to grow coraline with no problem given you have enogh lighting. What kind of lighting do you have (Metal Halide, VHO, Power Compact, Normal Output Flourescent? Coralline does really seem to like Actenic lighting...

They will work fine for that they will just add very little growth benift to your SPS.

Not sure what type of stock lights you are refering to? If you mean the 15 to 20 watt little hoods that would go over a freshwater tank they are not going to do you much good. They may have a tiny bit of benifit but that is just normal output lighting. The PC or VHO supplementation is high...

10Ks are a white and 20ks are more blue. If you have 10ks on each end and a 20k in the middle the ends will look white (more bright) and the center on the tank will be less bright (more blue). Your decision is going to come down to a matter of preference. 20K bulbs produce the best colored...

Here is my bright neon Yellow Sinularia that is now in my 55gal Soft & LPS tank I am not sure but believe this is fairly rare. I have never seen one quite this color before. I got this from a friend who broke down his tank recently and is getting out of the hobby for a little while. It has...
