    Alkalinity Level ?

    Kip, Why is 4 and 440 a good goal. Would I want to shoot for near sea water? I not questioning you, just want to know the reason behind it. I just start dosing and my levels as of last night are 400Ca, and probably 2.00Meg/L. My chart only has 1.7 and 2.2, but the color isn't quite 2.2, so...

    Opinions please

    What do you guys think about over driving lights. I was introduced to this process, and wondered if anyone has tried with much success. It seems to be quite an inexpensive route to getting good light for some corals.

    b-ionic dosing?

    Thanks, That's what I started doing after the first two doses. And you comfirming that for me makes me feel better about my dosing method. If you can remember, how long did it take to get your levels up? I do weekly water changes vs. monthly. Will this slow the process? Thanks again!

    Types of Fish

    I wouldn't base my desicion off of one site you found. You'll find out that these decriptions will vary. I made a mistake and bought a spotted puffer (one of the smaller puffers) and they described it as peaceful. After a week my Clown looked like he had been lunch. After further research I...

    b-ionic dosing?

    Good thread. I just started dosing as well, but I'm on the other end. I started with 1.7(meg/l) and 450ish Ca. I started dosing the Alk with out the Ca, and after two doses my Ca has dropped dramatically. So now after two more doses and adding the Ca part on the last two,My Alk is at 2.2ish...

    Airsoft guns?

    I'm embarassed to admit this, but I'm 31 and several of my friends have these guns and shoot each other with them all the time. They have guns that just spray bbs like mad. I swear I don't know what they're thinking when they do this. They often record it and watch it later. It quite funny...

    Shells for Hobby Lobby? msg

    I bought some shells from the Wal Mart craft section. I boiled them about 10 minutes, and placed them in the tank. So far two crabs have moved into the new shells.

    Did my Turbos have babies???

    I noticed Saturday night that I have 14 (at least thats all I could see) little snails sucking on my back glass. 14! That would be so cool. I wish I had a camera that could take close up pics.

    Boosting Coraline growth

    Well I'm by no means a pro at this, but I'll share what I've done so far and what I've been told. Adding Ca alone won't necessarily do the trick. There are other things that need to be apart of the equation. The reason why I say this is I added Ca in hopes that my coraline algea would take...

    I'm going for Dallas, but I don't know if we have it in us to win this year. For those who think we stole the Stars from MN, need to think that over...You can't buy what's not for sale. Plus I've been going to Stars games since they came down here, and if I remember correctly when they came...

    Should I try some Baking Soda??

    Awesome info/guidance guys - Thanks! I'll figure out my average. I got the 8.0 after about 20 mins of light. I'll check into a more commercial buffer too. I was thinking Baking Soda would be less expensive, but if I can create problems easier with that, maybe I shold check the commercial...
