I did them both at once, but could put one back and try that.

Well, I'm finally asking for help because I don't know exactly what's wrong and would like some advice on what to do next. My 65g reef tank is almost a year old and I'm having problems with my corals. Here's what's happened recently. I went out of town for 2 1/2 weeks and had to have a friend...

Hmm, either way I'm going to have to look at some options I guess... 13-14 alk... I would have to dump bottles of the part 2 in my tank. It seems like a constant battle to keep mine at 7-8.

Just wondering... SWF doesn't seem to sell salts, and I've been using Instant Ocean regular salt. I know they have something called reef crystals and was just wondering what people thought. I have several coral frags in my tank and I'm having to dose a lot of KH & Calcium. I figured it might...

Oh no, let us know how it turns out... I hope your tank & FS are okay, hopefully it wasn't too much of a shock.

LOL @ the 25 cents for a chunk... the live rock they're probably attached to would sell for more by itself. +1 find a differnt LFS

Maybe it's eating some of the dead tissue off the birds nest?

Why is my yellow tang such a goober... I was cleaning the glass with one of those magnetic scrubber things and for some reason this time she kept comming up to "investigate". I must have bumped her 5 or 6 times with it and each time she swam off like there was a shark in the area, but within...

Wow that's really cool, I've been eyeballing some candy canes at the LFS for a little while but they're somewhat more expensive than I've been willing to fork out. What type of lights are you running? Also what type of flow do you have in your tank... I hear they take high flow and like to be...

I started running my skimmer right away. It took about a week for it to stabilize (it was foaming like crazy and overflowing, I just let it overflow back into the sump), granted it wasn't actually "doing anything" for the tank, but it helped break the skimmer in. I would recommend from my...

I have some Zoa frags but some "predetermined" boundry rocks for them... when they grow to that point any polyp that grows beyond that barrier is going to be cut off with an exacto knife and bagged. Maybe one day I'll try to frag them but that's my plan for the short term.

Hmm, that makes sense, I just figred with doing water changes as frequent as I have been it woudln't be as much of a drop... thought it would stay around 8ish but guess I have to dose even more. I put in 10ml yesterday and today it's reading 6.8 kH, did another 10ml today so hopefully I can...

Was wondeing if somoene could better explain this to me.... I've got my first reef tank running at about 12 weeks now, have a couple of zoa frags, a frogspawn frag and a green birds nest frag in the tank. Everything seems to be going well, except my dKH value keeps dropping, I had it at about 9...

I'm no expert, just started with a reef tank about 10 weeks ago. I've had a small colony of about 12 polyps s in my tank for 4 weeks and there's 3-5 new ones. I have 150MH lights and have been keeping the nitrates at zero through water changes. Not sure if this is fast or slow but it's a...

Well I also have the issue of every time my hands go in the tank I have a pair of clown fish that HAVE to see whats going on. If I put something like the glue tube in there I'm worried I might have a serious problem, so I'll probably jsut pull the rock I'd like to put them on. Figure the whole...

Yay! Thanks for confirming this for me

I have a couple of small zoo frags (4-6 poly's each) and my hermit crabs have been just moving them about in my tank. I have read here that you can secure them with super glue gel. I bought super glue brand gel but after reading the package it says not recomended for immersion in water. I...

So I stumbled on this thread and just spent more time that I should have trying to count the dorsal spines in my clowns... it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. Guess I have to get a good picture and try it that way.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that this weekend, I'll see if any of the stores around here carry those, they seem a little "safer" than powerheads since they don't appear to have the same type of input. I'm afraid to go with powerheads after my clown of 4 years got sucked into one when the port...
