I have way to much xenia and I add 2 drops a week of Lugolos. I use a Salifert iodine test kit but never get a reading on it. I have taken a cup of water and added a drop to my testing solution to see if the kit actually works and I get an off the chart reading. I do 20% water changes every 3...

I did add some new corals over the past few weeks. I tested the water and this is what I came up with: CA 350 Alk 10 SG 1.025 PH 8.3 Mag 1300 Trates 2 Trites 0 Amm 0

Thanks guys for the direction. I will give the water a quick check tonight. I recently did a water change and pretty much all things are looking good. It is time for new bulbs also.

Time to replace the coralife 96W pc aquare pin bulbs. Anyone care to recommend a good brand? Thanks for the help!

Thank you. It is a new tank but still has the good old dirt and garbage on it.

I am still researching but what do you think of these pumps? If you had to choose between the pumps, which one, or reconmend another. It will be on a 190g tank Barracuda Dart Amp Master Dolphin 4700

opppppssss sorry.... Thanks for your answer.

Anyone know of a place to buy an iwaki MD40RLT and a Dart sequence pump? Prices I am getting seem a tad bit high.

Hi All It looks like I am all in now..... I bought a 48X48X20 frag tank and should be delivered in the next 2 weeks. I need to get some lights and my LFS is going to hook me up with 2 48" Current Outer Orbit 150 HQI with Actinics. I currently use a Coralife 72" Aqua Light Pro and have not...

I have never heard of jades destroying anything. They are pretty much look for food in the entire tank. I am betting your coral beauty is the one. It only takes a minutes to destroy coral.
