I just tested the calcium and it is reading 380. That is a bit lower than I usually keep it. I'll add some calcium and get that reading up. I also just tested the ALK and it is a bit low as well now. My current ALK reading is 8.2 What should I attempt to get my ALK up to? Oh yeah, and I do in...

How do I go about slightly raising my PH without affecting my ALK? My ALK is 10dkh however my PH fluctuates between 7.8-8.0 throughout the lighting cycle. I would like to have that range bumped up to about 8.0-8.2. I have some PH booster , but it raises the alk considerably with each dose. What...

Does anyone see a problem with doing this?

Yeah, I don't see why that would not at least keep the bioload alive in the bioballs...I'll give that a shot while I clean out the QT.

Yeah, I sure do....

I have a 14g Nano that has housed fish for the past few months. I have decided to make this my QT. Is there anything in particular that I should do in preparation to get this tank ready to be my QT? Since it has had fish in the past, I just wanted to empty all of the h20 and properly clean the...

well guys , I used RO/DI water to calibrate the refractometer and it was already getting a perfect reading. At least I have been reading the salinity correctly. Right now the salinity in the QT is 13ppt. What is the longest length of time that I can safely keep my fish in hypo? The fish has...

I do have a Pinpoint Salinity monitor that has calibration solution. Can I use distilled water for the low measurement and then use this stuff for a upper measurement? Does this make any sense?

Thanks for the responses! I'll pour through that thread and see what I can get from it. Quick question, I have the refractometer from this site. How do I calibrate it correctly? What solution do I use, how do I adjust etc.... Thanks

BUMP.... I NEED some help here. I am at a loss as to what I should do now. I continued to keep my fish in hypo another 2 weeks in hopes that the Ich would go away. It has not. What concerns me is that he has had one pretty large spot on him for about 10-14 days. I was under the impression that...

I have a 54Wx4 TEK retro fit on top of my 55g. Here are my results: Full Tank shot My Polyp garden: Hammer coral Random softies Open Brain

No, I meant can you get different lenses for each of these models not put a Nikon lens on a Canon camera. Can you have more than one lens for these models?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question as I'm new to the SLR cameras, but can you change lenses on the Nikon d40 and the Cannon Rebel XT 8MP ? I'm just trying to figure out how much better and more upgradeable these are from high quality Point and Shoot cameras. Thanks..

Thanks alot guys! The tank has come along way this year. It is my first attempt at a reef and so far I'm very happy! I have only had a few small problems with some zoapox and nudis on a few polyp colonies, but other than that all of my corals have thrived. I reccomend the different types of...

OK, so here are some updated images of my open brain. Mind you, I had just fed him a few minutes before these images. However, I do think that he is beginning to look much healthier. Comments?
