Originally Posted by Flower Never dose unless you test for it, and there is a need. With a weekly water change you should not need to dose at all. And that is why you will never grow corals like people that dose buffer and calcium everyday. Corals use buffer and calcium to grow. If you do not...

I think someones calcium test was bad. WTF kind of company would have a calcium of 590? One that is horrible for a reef and will not be able to keep alk stable with that level and not to mention it would cost them sooo much to make a level that high so it is obvious it was not a bad batch. If...

The halimada is using up buffer and calcium so your corals are suffering. Not even close to enough light, Like 2 watts per gallon. You are not dosing buffer and calcium every day, Which is all that photosynthetic corals need to grow. Not running your skimmer all the time is a bad idea, Very bad...

Pretty cool vid. Maybe if people would stop buying maricultured and wild pieces we would not have this problem. Or atleast it would not be as bad as it is.

How would adding LIVE sand cause a cycle? Haha. You people with the term "Cycle". The only way that would happen is if the sand was full of hydrogen solfide and waste. That is why he would just rinse it in a 5g bucket with sw. CK, Make sure you leave the lights off for a few weeks when you add...
