Thanks for the comments ReefNut ... I have been using cyclop-eeze as well, but just once a week usually. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has an opinion on this, because I'm pretty much to the point you are, not sure exactly if it's really helping any. dburr: ya, I know the alk is low...

Here's a pic for reference: ***DISCLAIMER FOR TANG POLICE*** The tang is currently being housed in my tank for recovery purposes. It was almost dead sitting at the LFS because it was beaten up by a large powder brown. I have since been very successful in getting her healthy again. Once I...

Also, off of what bigarn said, what foods are people feeding specifically for SPS?

tony detroit: no, not running carbon ... I actually just started thinking about this the other day, I know some people use it, some don't ... could you explain some benefits/downfalls of it? Also, as far as water changes I just began (last night) doing weekly water changes. I plan on doing 5...

Hey guys, just wanted to start a topic of discussion and also gain some help from it. I'm currently running a 50g cube tank which is completely SPS, mostly frags right now. It has been up for about 4-5 months now. Q? What I really want to know is for those who have had great success with the...

Thanks Beth, will do!

Hey guys, the fish is eating (nori soaked in garlic) and seems to be doing very well. His mannerisms are that of a healthy fish, but he has extensive fin damage (pretty much completely missing the top and bottom fins, sorry don't know the technical terms) he is also white in some spots, and...

Hey guys, I rescued a yellow tang today from a powder brown that completely tore this poor little guy to pieces. He looks to be doing well, but does not "physically" look good. I was wondering if I could get some advice for treatment, such as feeding, supplements, medicines? He does not look to...

Thanks a lot kip!

bump ... no one using this?

Just a quick question ... when dosing Kalk with the kent aquadose, should the small cap at the back of the doser be open? I read in Kips kalk 101 thread to keep kalk sealed from air, but if that cap is closed, eventually the drip stops. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the replies guys ... from what you all have said, and the stuff I have read, I think the little guys are gonna have to go. Thanks for the info guys!

4 acros 1 blue mille 2 digis 1 cap and that's it as far as SPS ... not a lot right now, but it's growing quickly, so that's why I want to know if I need to take the gobies out or not.

I do not have a frag tank yet, but I have observed some "nipping" which looks more like they are eating small particles off the SPS like cleaning it. I've seen lots of pictures of clown gobies in SPS and their polyps are fully extended. Hoping mine will do the same, thanks for the info though...

Hey guys ... I picked up a couple yellow clown gobies about 2 weeks ago, and since then my SPS pretty much have no polyp extension. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this, and if the SPS will get used to it over time and begin to extend their polyps? Thanks in advance!

Not sure if you're looking for new or used ... but if new, check out Envision Acrylics at www.envisionacrylics.com ... they make absolutely beautiful tanks and I'm pretty sure they ship as well. They can make anything you want. At the least, check em out. They are the ones who built Steve...

Just a quick question, I remember reading that you do not want to increase your dKH by more than ________ in 24 hours??? I can't remember the blank. I'm using b-ionic and my levels are: Ca - 530 dKH - 7.4 Thanks guys!

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it. I know all these questions probably get redundant, but thanks for taking the time to help. I think I am going to try some water changes over the next couple weeks and see if my levels begin to balance. I am going to continue studying up on...

Man, I really do have a lot of questions... anyway, I just got done reading broomers take on ca, alk, and mag ... I noticed he said something about white flakey things in the tank ... lately, the past couple times I've dosed the alk part of b-ionic the minute I put it in the tank it flakes up...

Anyone got any thoughts on the Ca and dKH readings?
