    Why won't calcium and alk rise?

    Like stated above, Salifert test kits to accurately test levels. You can continue to use Instant Ocean, you will just need to dose more additives. Most people really like E.S.V.'s B-ionic for keeping alk and calcium at desired levels through regular dosing. Also as stated above, low Magnesium...

    Brown algae is killing me!

    Your protein skimmer creates very little flow. The power filter agitates at the surface level and at the intake. Powerheads are standard in saltwater tanks. Corals REQUIRE moving water. Just think about their natural environment.

    Brown algae is killing me!

    Yes, reef safe. Follow the directions. Phosphate remover won't get rid of the slime, it will just help reduce what's "feeding" it. It will also help keep algae in check. I like the Marc Weiss product, you can put it in a media bag in your power filter. I use Salifert Phosphate kit to test...

    Why won't calcium and alk rise?

    oklahoma frags ready to go

    no guarantees, but possibly. one of the frags is already gone (the one in the corner) and the one on the left only has two polyps at this time. the one in the middle has 6-7 and they are all open, unlike the pic. i'm not holding anything because too many people are not reliable. first come...
