82 gives good growth and leaves a little room for error....but if it hits 85 you can expect ill results.

You shouldn't need to untill there is enough coraline to use the suppliments. Water changes will be enough for the first year or so. Then you can drip lime or kalk with your makup water and it will keep your Alk, Calc, Ph in ballance. Chances are coraline will be the least of your worries...

Thought I would update this....It's not exactly live rock anymore.

Here are some colors that work well together.

I don't see much change...but my nitrates are all ready 0. The corals perk up a bit.

It takes a long time with garlic....like two months. Then when it falls off the first time keep feeding it. It will have to go through 4 or 5 cycles of leaving and coming back. Each time it leaves it should come back a little bit weaker.

I have a couple inches of CC with a 1" layer of sand on top of it. Nitrate 0 Phosphate 0 after a year...It gradually went down at about 8 months it hit 0. I can see little critters in the spaces between the CC...through the glass. A lot of the CC has worked it's way to the top and my tangs like...

I guess I'll try the more fequent water change thing. I hate to add kalk because the calcium is perfect. The PH has never been over 8.0 maybe I should use Oceanic intead of IO for water changes. If there is a good way to raise PH without effecting anything else with the exception of slightly...

How can I raise it without raising the Alk to much? Baked Baking Soda?

I recently made the best mistake of my life when it comes to fish. I went in at closing time and impulse bought 3 Chromis 7 bucks each one was under a rock and I never got a chance to see it swim. One week later it was obvious that the fish is blind or something so I took it back to the store...

Nitrate 20 , PH 7.8-8.0,ALK 250-300, SG 1.024, Temp 80, Cal. 450. What causes Xenia polyps to become cripled looking...then white...then dead. This starts out slow on one polyp then gains momentum as it wipes the whole coral out. Its happening to individual pink long stemed pulsing xenias but...

I have some palys that like to move around (slow crawl). I don't think anything is agitating them. The rock your zoos are mounted on could be bad--or they could be freshly mounted and not stuck on very well. If something is agitating them to the point that they are falling off it could be...

shut the lights off or you will have a hard time catching them. Took me 10 min with lights off. Took 14 hrs.... with lights on.

My flame angel has been good up untill recently when I put a new leather coral in the tank. Will occasional niping kill this coral? The leather lets off clouds when it is nipped is this harmful to the tank? If I could get a clown fish to host something near the leather would the clown protect...

BTW whats so bad about mossy algae. Does it kill Coraline? I have some on bare rock but the Coraline seems to move right on into the territory. Iv'e never noticed it on corals or Coraline.
