how long does one ROWAphos pad last?

ALK was in the "normal" range of based on the test kit. around 2.2

i dont feed flake food and have cheato in my sump but I will get come more. I will also try one of the pads. thanks

What is the best method to remove phosphates? I tested mine and they are at .1 and I have a bit of a hair algea problem that I would like to take care of before it gets out of hand. Do people have luck with the phosphate pads? phosban reactor?

they just look like generic people eaters to me. The true red people eaters are very red and the true greens are very green. very nice pick up

test kit is API. I'll check the ALK tomorrow. I do not dose the tank with anything and use reef crystals.

I was testing my calcium because I am going to be getting a clam soon and it read 520. I know thats high but all my corals and fish are perfectly healthy and growing fine.

copperbands are very passive and delicate fish. putting it in an aggressive tank may not have been the best move. good luck though. try feeding it live clams. crack open the shell and let him pick it them.

I have a sixline in my tank and it is a very passive, relaxed fish. I think I got lucky though. A lot of people say they are very territorial. I also have MH lighting and I have a canopy over my tank. no heat issues. I have one fan blowing in and one out and the tank stays at 79-80 degrees. def...

any updates?

titan trigger...cool to see one in person but sad to see it in a store.

are firefish safe with clams?

anyone think a firefish and a purple firefish would be ok in the same tank? my tank is a 125 but I would probably order them together which means they would be in QT togther in a 20g.

i have heard they are usually a problem with clams.

I am looking for the best plankton to dose my tank with to help my corals and clam which I plan on getting soon. Is marinesnow any good? what about the stuff made by Reef Nutrition like Phyto Feast?

thanks for all the feedback everyone. I think I am going to pass on an angel though and get 2 tangs.

well after deciding to scratch the copperband butterfly and angel from my stocklist I realized it would be safe to get a clam. I really like the maximas the best. Do they have any special needs? Are they completely photosythetic or do they need to be spot fed too? How big do the maximas get and...
