    I Hate This Addiction

    HA! I agree wholeheartedly! I currently have a 37g, and am in the process of getting a 75, however, I am also planning ahead, knowing I still won't be satisfied :thinking:! A friend is building the stand to match my cabinets in the house, but I am having it built to hold a 125 ! I know going...

    pH question...please advise

    I am not sure what dKH is. The test strip is Mardel. I think I'll take another water sample in today. Probably get another person to check...which is usually the case. This time I'll ask specifically about the alk. And since my test strip shows high alk, I should add a buffer? Any specific...

    pH question...please advise

    1. How does your Alkalinity test out? Or your dKH as they are the same thing. If you are testing the dKH you should be right around 11. I'm guessing your system will be low somewhere around 8 or 9. If the alkalinity is low that can drive the ph down. If this is the case then you can use a...

    pH question...please advise

    I've been doing about 5% water changes on my 37g every 1-2 weeks. I am religious with water tests and they are typically good. However, I took a sample to the lfs today (due for a water change this weekend). All looks good except the pH. It has dropped to 7.6. In less than 2 weeks??? What...

    Coralife 130 watt Retrofit PC w/Bulbs...Texas

    As of today, no. Right now I have a 37g, but am going to replace it this summer with hopefully a 75, but at least a 55g. A friend is going to build the stand and canopy. Other than the canopy, what else would be needed?

    Help on vitamins for inverts?

    I've read conflicting posts and need guidance, please. What vitamins (or other) do I need to add to water for healthy inverts or fish? I've seen some that seem to swear by additives, and others say if commercial salt mix is used, it has all you need. However, I am now questioning this as my...

    Coralife 130 watt Retrofit PC w/Bulbs...Texas

    Ok. Help me out here. I am confused on the "retrofit kits". I am new at all the SW stuff, and VERY undereducated on the light issue. I am not sure if this is something I could use, but $60 sounds good if it is! I currently have a 30 inch twin tube fluorescent strip-light. The bulbs are...

    I Got Him!!!

    On the food thing, I was worrying for nothing. He loves the Omega One with garlic (bumped into Bubbles to get the last bite fluttering down) and is OK with the Seaweed Salad. I will start posting a few pics when I learn how to resize them AND how to attach.
