I keep around 30 gallons of RO/DI made up at all times and always have around 15 gallons of saltwater made up at all times.... Here are a couple of pics of my setup.............

NFL College Football Boxing (thought the heavyweight fight last night was pretty anti-climatic) MMA College Basketball That's about all I watch as far as sports. NBA and MLB rank so low I can't even put them on the list. I do occasionally watch them during the playoffs........

In order to calibrate the refractometer so you have the least margin of error, you need to purchase a calibration fluid. Google calibration fluid for refractometer........

If they look like they are peeling, they are pretty much dead.........

I got more branching when I mounted them horizontally.........

I have actually started mounting my acro frags horizontally and they do indeed grow faster. You will be amazed at the difference in growth.

Most have ATC. Most of the refractometers sold in the hobby are called salt/brine refractometers. These are perfectly fine for the hobbiest. I would recommend buying calibration fluid to calibrate it rather than using distilled water. This will decrease the margin of error greatly. If you want...

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That little guy creeps me out. Everytime I watch the man with the golden gun I get the willies when that little guy shows up....... By the way, I am a huge James Bond fan.........

I run this skimmer on my 54 corner.......by far the best skimmer I have ever owned. Once I got it dialed in I have not had to touch it again and it pulls out more crud than I could imagine.

Me and a friend already did this. We used a small food processor and ground up 30 shrooms (15 different colors). We dumped them in his tank and reduced the flow in the tank for 1 month. After 1 month there were little shrooms all over the place and six months later his tank was almost completely...

I have not had a problem with the new alk test........ I have been able to get even drops every time.

You can keep soft corals and LPS under those lights. No anemones (exept tube anemones), SPS, clams, etc.......

Not a 55, but here is my 3 month old 54 gallon corner tank.......

Steve Tyree is a person. If a coral develops a rare color morph, he slaps his name on it and it will cost an average of $80 for something the size of your thumbnail. I have several Tyree Limited Editions. They are worth the money to me.

You don't HAVE to get a part of the base. Back when I kept leathers, I would simply cut a piece of of the edge and use netting to secure it to a rock. I never had any die on me. They just take longer to attach this way. IME, it is a common myth that you have to get a piece of the base when...

The color temperature of the bulbs is what is making your corals look better. Corals do not color up in 45 minutes. Some sps need blue light and actinics to show their color. Before I buy sps, I pull it out of the tank and hold it under a room light bulb. If it still shows good color, I will buy it.
