Thanks PerfectDark, I understand about the relationship between PH and Alkalinity. I am going with the 1 meq/l in 24hrs unless someone says differently. Thanks again for your input

I am in agreement with you and reefkeeprz that the halides were causing some damage. Hopefully since I have moved the Chili not to much damage has occured and it will be able to heal and get back to a nice puffed upright state. Tonight after the actinics went off a few more polyps than last...

Will do but has been acting better today checked all parameters today all is good on that front except alkalinity a little low @ 2.5 meq/l (7dKH) I like it at about 3.5 meq/l to 5.0 meq/l (9.8 to 14 dKH) is that a good range for all coral types? I have the Chili, GSP, Frogspawn, couple frags of...

I just went and moved the Chili under a ledge and polyps are opening now. Just moon lights on now hopefully it will puff back up and stand back up. Thanks again

Thanks reefkprZ, It didn't register when I read that it was nonphotosynthetic that halides were to bright for it I will find a place that blocks the halides.

I received a Chili Coral From SWF on Thursday I acclimated it according to the site and it appeared normal several polyps were open and feeding then that night when lights went out it appeared all polyps were open and feeding. Then Friday the coral started getting smaller and now today it has...

From several threads I read on here and from some other sites all had recommendations for 35-65 Xover for a reef tank with LPS and SPS. I think the mushroom is getting adjusted to the tank as one was open very wide this evening. Just curious what others were doing for turnover in there mushroom...

I just got my shipment of coral frags today delivered right on time and good size frags all looked healthy. Will do business with meemmoo again.

Thanks mmm33732, Yea that is quite a bit of flow I set it up mainly for SPS corals but I spotted this blue mushroom and had to give it a try. I repositioned a couple of the powerheads now it just kinda flutters, I think maybe it just getting used to the tank.

I just added a new mushroom to my tank today after I put it in place I noticed it moving with the flow in the tank. Is it possible I have to much flow in my tank for mushroom? I have approx. 600gph returning from my sump, I have 2 Powersweep PH (265 gph each) 1 Maxijet 1200 (295 gph) 2 Maxijet...

Thanks for the offer always need an excuse for a road trip haha, sorry I'll have too pass this time.

Does anyone have some Pom-Pom Xenia they are looking to sell? Reply back to this thread or send me a pm with price and shipping cost. I am located in Georgetown Kentucky 40324.

Where did you get the Ecomod for maxijet send me a pm so as not posting competitors web site.

Super glue will not harm anything in your tank. It is what is used to attach coral frags to rocks. So you should be fine, like Dennis210 stated aquarium sealant works well as well.

reef noob, I will try just 1 eductor I will have too plug 1 return will also try singles smaller sized, I will report my results.

Anyone else??????????????????????

Thanks nycbob, The picture is of an orange cap it is about 6" from the bottom of my tank which would put it about 20" to 22" from the lights. I have about 2000 gph flow circulating. Do I need to increase flow and move it so that the light is sort of shading them. At this point I will try any...

I must be doing something wrong or my pump doesn't have enough pressure to drive 2 eductors. All prototypes have failed to work going to just modify 2 of my maxi-jet 1200's to get the flow up. If I eventually get one to work I will post pictures and a write up explaining the process.

Thanks peef, Maybe PerfectDark will pass along some of his knowledge. In the meantime I will research temps for my current corals. Thanks again for the help.

The flow in the tank currently 3 maxi-jet 1200 = 296 gph each, 2 powersweeps = 265 gph each and return pump from sump ~600 gph for a total of 2018 gph approx. I am going to monitor the chiller cycling and tweak the set points what is the ideal temp for SPS corals? I know peef you said 79 is that...
