Hiya, Is this hair algea? My LFS thinks it might be a micro. I'd like to know before it gets out of hand. Meadbhb

HIya, Thanks for the post. I have the same filtration system. I guess I'll be pulling my bio wheel and carbon soon. Meadbhb

Hiya, Hubby took a sample by the LFS tonight. Calcium was up to 300 and the ALK was 3. They didn't have a magnesium test. Not sure why, but I'll have them order one for me. Maybe thier cal test is off? Also said PH was up to 8.00, so things seem to be improving. Sigh...oh, well, so I've...

Hiya, Thanks Bang...I'm going to have the hubby have the water tested for alk and mag tonight. He's got to go pick up crickets anyway. For future reference what should these two levels be at? How much water change do you recommend? 15-20%? Meadbhb Ohhh, I've got crushed argonite in there. I...

Hiya, Bang...I can't check the alk now and go from there? I was going to do a 10% water change this weekend. Do I need to do more then that? Meadbhb

Hiya, I'm using Red Sea calcuim suppliment. My LFS has been testing my water, and they haven't been testing the ALK, I've been more worried about the ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and PH. I THINK they've been using the Marineland test kit (long orange box) for everything but the calcuim. Then...

Hiya, I'm having a problem getting my calcium up so I can start adding corals. 37 gallon reef 30lbs live rock 40lbs base ammonia - 0 nitrate - 0 nirtrite - 0 PH - 7.8 Calcuim - 250 Salinity - 1.025 (not adjusted for temp) 8 turbo's 15 Nass. snails 1 peppermint shrimp Tanks been up since August...

Hiya, Put your money in the mail today. Hopefully, you'll get it tomorrow with you just "Up the street from me". Meadbhb

Send you mail to your paypal address. Hope that was correct. I can't tell if you have any PH's left. I'd be interested in that too. Meadbhb

Hiya, What would you take from a newbie and a fellow Arkie on the test kits and the seachem calcium? Meadbhb

HIya, One of my LFS got some orange footed turbo's in this week. That's what they labled them as too. Meadbhb

Hiya, One of my LFS has a pink coral...called a pink carnation. I wonder if it's a pink sun coral.

Hiya, Thanks Bang. I got some Nass. snails in yesterday and the shrimp came out into the open to, I hope, explore his new tank mates. Meadbhb

Hiya, Well, darn! Will it hurt them to be above "ground" all the time if they can't get under it? There's some places that they can get under my base rock. I've also seen one of them climb the glass. Meadbhb

Hiya, Got a bunch of nass snails in today. However, I have a feeling they're going to have problems with my substrate. Its argonite, but it's not a fine powder, almost like a small crushed stone size. I wouldn't call it CC. Will my snails be able to burrow into it? Meadbhb

Hiya, Thanks...I thought that was why the water changes were necessary, but just needed some confirmation. Meadbhb

Hiya, If your paramiters on your tank stay where they should be, do you still need to do water changes? Meadbhb

Hiya, I'm trying to decide what my first fish should be for my tank. My local LFS has some rock skipper blenney's which I think are neat. However, I know this is a large familyso thought I'd ask what other think of different species. I'd like something with color that won't kill corals when I...

Hiya, Sorry to hijack this thread, but I've kinda got a question along the same lines. I have turbo's and one pep shrimp in my tank. I'm not feeding anything, but there's lots of pods and crawlies in there. Am I in danger of my pep shrimp eating my snails? I'm hoping to add a fish this...

Hiya, I've heard that certain corals need iodine to thrive. Which ones? Are there any that can't tollerate iodine? I dont' want to mix the two of them by accident. What about fish? Any fish that need it or can't tollerate it? Meadbhb
