I see we are still discussing this post, so before i reply i would like to wish a happy birthday to steamboat. blondenaso1, falcon has never stated he's using calcium hypochloride. just Calcium Chloride. that came from someone else. Again, just trying to save a buck here or two and wanted to...

I agree with jeffandnance. good answer. :)

steamboat, you can't compare city water to ro water they are NOT the same. havoline and pennzoil have different stuff in their oils. what falcon is saying, is he's comparing calcium chloride that he bought at a LFS to any form of calcium chloride. Calcium chloride is calcium chloride Niave? I...

steamboat, i understand what your saying, Calcium HYPOCLORITE. I am saying CALCIUM CHLORIDE. But the "Shock it" never came from me, I have always stated i purchased "HTH CALCIUM PLUS" IT COMES IN A 4.5 LBS BOTTLE, NO BAGS $6.97 AT LOWES. Personally, i use "sock it" in my swimming pool.

steamboat, I think you are confused. Falcon never said he is using shock it for his fish tank. he purchased a pool product called calcium plus. it ups the calcium in your water (much needed in concrete pools). Shock it DOES contain 47% hypoclorite. but that isn't even what he's talking about...

i called HTH that makes the calcium plus. and asked them if it has clorine in it. It does not. the reason you add calcium in a concrete or plaster pool is so that the water does not pull the calcium from the walls of the pool (ie Rock). which would lead to cracks in your pool. chloride is the...

We had a bit of a different problem. calcium low, ph low and alkalnity hi (16). Our LFS told us to use calcium chloride until the level got to 400-425. Then go to 1 TBSP calcium per 100 gallons per week with an alkalinity additive to get it to level off at 7-9. our levels are 450 calcium and 11...

we use calcium chloride to get our calcium up. ask falcon63 for the dosage. I know we now use 1TBSP per 100 gallons per week to maintain it at 450. but not sure how much we used to get it to 450

m1rodrig, I think you should reread his post. his 125 gallon is coming soon, and he is wondering where he can post a 30 second video of his tank. It sounds like he has listened and learned on the board, thats why the bigger tank. I wish I could see that video. I have no idea where or how to...

we use romaine lettuce for our tangs to supplement their diets my huma likes it too. we also use the seaweed selects. I have found the seaweed selects is even messier. I usually net out what is floating around the tank after awhile.

they will pick the ones thay like this one may not be it.

yes 18". the bedroom is off the living room. Its nice so everything is under the tank, we will finish it so it will look like a cabinet.

Being the other half of falcon63, I will try to answers your questions. We installed it ourself, the wall was 4" thick, we used 2x4's and 3/4" cabinet grade plywood for the tank to sit on. the rest of the tank is in a bedroom in the house. Our tangs all get along,we will trade in when they are...

Ive seen a few at the LFS in my area, but they were alot more than $200. They are a beautiful tang.

I too have been battling some red slime algae. I recently went in the tank with a toothbrush and brushed the rocks off, and vaccumed. I also set one of my powerheads down towards the bottom of the tank blowing parallel to the substrate to keep foods and detrius, etc. supended so the filter and...

we have an aquaclear filter system at our office. We have not had any problems with it. I can't imagine why it would siphon back into the tank. has anyone else had this problem?

i agree with both replys. new tank, nothing to skim, stress coat makes seaclone bubble like crazy.

We had them in our 55 gal tank. they were really neat. We used them at night after the lights were off. you can get different colors, red, blue, green and orange. the starter kit comes with 2 bulbs, you can hook up 3 more. they can be purchased at walmart in the fish section. the kit was approx...
