    Calcium Reactors and CO2

    I'm planning on adding a calcium reactor and have been trying to research this a s much as possible. My question is... Is it necessary to have the CO2 feed on a calcium reactor or is it simply an efficency issue? Thanks,

    You have a nice looking tank, looks like you need to add a little more livestock to it and color it up a little.

    Bubble Coral Question. It's having babies?

    How do bubble coral reproduce? I'm pretty sure they're not fraggable (at the very least very difficult to) but on the back of my bubble, growing from the shell(for lack of a better word) I have what appears to be 2 new tiny bubble corals (see pic) Can I eventually cut these off and have 2 more...

    Mushroom Polyp - Green Ricordea

    pretty easy to keep. just need decent water quality, PC lights at a minimum. As far as what they eat I couldn't tell you. I rarely feed my corals maybe some marine snow from time to time.

    Thermos Trade Anyone? IL or nearby states? IN OH WI?

    Alright, I have a question. Is this kind of a pot luck mystery grab bag kind of thing? Or are we gonna post pics or do multiple trades if chosen? I only ask because I've always wanted to do a thermos trade but I've never fully understood exactly how they pan out or work. Don't forget to count...

    Help w/Readings & Kalk Water

    I'd get your alk up to 8 - 10 I'm not familiar with your doser but just set your drip to the rate of your evaporation (makeup water).

    Thermos Trade Anyone? IL or nearby states? IN OH WI?

    Anyone have any ideas on where to get decent heat packs? Besides the auction site that is. I know Home Depot has those hand and toe warmer ones but I don't think they're big enough.

    two little fishies inc. makes them. I bought mine on the auction site as a package with the powerhead you need. It took about 10 minutes to unbox and get it up and running

    Phosphate eliminator

    do yourself a favor. get a phosban reactor. they're only like $30 and have something like 3 x the efficeincy(sp?) as just placing the mesh bag in your sump. I've had one hooked up for a week and I'm starting to see my hair algae problem go away.
