when you say off the wall what do you mean. i would consider 50 ppm off the wall. my point is its all relative. could you give a number so that we can get a better idea of what you are dealing with?

in what way can it get out of control. i have had this rock for about a year and it has grown quite a lot but are you telling me that it will spread to OVERTAKE!!!:) ?

funny you mention swimming in my tank. one of my life goals is build an 8ft deep indoor pool in the mantion i plan on owning and turning it into a reef. once it happens ill invite all of you over for a dip.:) thanks for the comments!!!

as stated above... spacificly the pink stuff. i know that the feater is a christmas tree variety but im not sure about the pink.

i had been entertaing that idea but i think im going to fill it in a but more and have a small open spot in the middle. at that point i probably will run a bridge across. im really excited because i have been saving and planning for this upgrade for about one and a half years. when i finnally...

After last week i have a little over half of the lr i need. What do yall think?

in reguards to your question about if the icecap 660 is a good ballast mo is that it is the best vho on the market. the 660 offers upgrades all over the place and if you want to simulate sunrise/sunset... you can moon cycles... you can run 3 six foot high wattage bulbs... you can!!! (it is over...

the best way to tell (although i would not do this offten) would be to gently push you r finger on the tube twards the bottom or unopen end. if the worm inside is alive he WILL move...mostly because he will be scared (hence the reasion why you shouldnt do this often) if he is alive he can regrow...

if there are bubbles in my dsb that means that it is working right? if so yhaaaa!! if not then what?

im not sure about this either.. i have been using calk but didnt know why i wasnt supposed to use the guk on the bottom. (i just thought that the company put that there so that you would use more calk and then have to buy more:D )

diatoms will not hurt anything durring you cycle. dont even bother with a water change. it will just make you cycle take longer.

is there anything in it? if not who cares!!:) if there is so what (tell me so that i can shake a finger at you LOL) IMO the best wat to lower ph is to leave the lights off for a little while... (i think.) p.s. wait for another oppinion because i am not 100% sure about that... more like 90%;)

you should be okay doing this you just have to watch a little more carefully. make sure to use arragonite and NOT cc. you probably already know this but just in case. good luck!!

to test fresh water you could take the water to a good lfs and ask for a trAte, phosphate, pH test. i dont know of any water systems that have high leavels of amonia (unless your getting it from a stagnent source. I accually took my tap water and tested it with a fresh water test, then took it...

i know that i will probably be flamed for this but i have never used an ro/di unit. the reasion is that i have had my city water tested and it comes out without nitrAte, silicates (sp), or phosphate. i live in cincinnati (and i hate it) but the water here is really good. p.s. in hobby for 5yrs...

reef snow is like the ford of cars. it will get you where you are going (it does do a pretty good job) but its not a porche:) the problem with reef snow is that it isnt really alive. thats why dt's or live phydoplankton (sp?) are typicaly better for the tank.

yes

reef snow will do but it is not the best.

you are no longer my bb friends. because my city is stupid... (i know it doesnt make sense:)

Hay!!! you guys ignored me :( i really want to read that thread and i looked high and low. any sugestions?
