Calcium Reactor monitored / controlled off of a Milwaukee PH controller

Probably a good idea if you want to be able to put anything in the tank!!!:) Mark

Sorry Mods! I didn't link to the store itself, just a picture of a drip system that was on their site. If you clicked on the link you couldn't get to their store you would just see the picture of a Kent drip system. At ay rate, my apologies!!! Mark

Looks good Rik! I can't wait to see it all set up! Mark

Like Guy said check out DIY kalk drip systems or just go to Yahoo and search for "Kent aquadose"

I've never heard of any sabae's reproducing in any way in captivity. Although it is pretty uncommon it can happen in captivity. Here is an article by Albert Thiel about Heteractis species anemones including Heteractis malu (Sebae Anemones). Scan to the end for his comments on reproduction...

Kent has a drip system for about $25. Before setting up my calcium reactor I used to use Kent Tech CB (Parts A & B) daily and it worked very well for me.

Sometimes when anemones are stressed the misenterial filaments that are used to digest food, and also for defense can transfer to the tentacles and even come out of the mouth. Does it look anything like this? Also, it could be "budding" (reproducing). Heteractis type anemones are known budders.

If all else fails try oxygen supply companies. That is where I get mine filled. I agree with Reefnut. Get a good CO2 detector and you should be OK. Just make sure you have a nice tight connection when you swap out and change the gasket (the CO2 provider usually gives you a new one with each...

Give it a lot of light and feed it silversides or cut up raw shrimp and it will grow like crazy!

It looks like a dead SPS coral that was originally attached to the rock. Looks like probably on of the thin branched deep water corals. It appears to be bleached and dead so you probably won't be able to get it to grow.

How big is the tank? Be very, very careful! Kalk will make your PH jump up dramatically and can stress your tank considerably. Kalk is meant to be dripped slowly so you don't have large PH swings. You definitely don't want to add cups at a time or you could kill corals and live stock or at...

I feed Golden Pearls & Cyclopeze maybe once or twice a month sparingly.

A frag is a fragment or piece of a coral colony. A piece of a coral (a frag) that is cut off of a colony will eventually grow in it's own colony.

Royal Gramma, Evansi Anthias, Purple Firefish, are all peaceful. Psuedochromis are semi agressive.

reefer44, Do you have any SPS growth shots? Thanks! NM, The PM is in the mail!:)

I have a powerhead in my fuge just to keep everything moving. You don't need a lot of flow but you want things to get stagnant either.

also basically most sps grow fast......in any species you should get 1/2" to 2" every month........the only species i have had that hasn't gorn that much is pocillopora That all depends on the specific coral. Many of my acros grow quickly but my Oregon Tort, Purple Monster and several others...
