    Alkalinity Problem--HELP

    I agree but I have not been able to get it up... I just got some Kalkwasser, think that would help? If I get the Calcuim up will that bring down the Alkalinity? In reading the label it says to add it slowly but I'm worried the PH will raise to fast. That was the other problem I've had for a...

    Alkalinity Problem--HELP

    :confused: Okay I made a classic newbie mistake and now my Alkalinty is off the charts. Lost all the invertes and coral. LFS guy suggested a MAJOR water change of 60 Gal which we did last night it helped some but not much. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Here's the Specs on the...

    Currently there are 11 remaining damsels, I had them in to help cycle the tank, I think I lost 4 or 5 during the cycle process. They have been in for the past 3 weeks.... one clown (about one week old for the grandchildren) and I just got (Thursday) a cleanup crew from Saltwater Fish... the...

    Newbie Question - New Tank

    Thanks for the input, yes the Damsels were added to help cycle the tank, I've been adding a few each week and don't intend to add more, when I start with the reef I'll be donating most of them back to the LFS.... I guess I could raise the Salinity although I'm finding with a 150 it's really...
