    New Ca reactor, what else to dose?

    I'm expecting a new My Reef Creations dual chamber reactor in a couple of weeks. :D Man I cant wait. :p Anyways, for those of you who are currently running one, what else do you still dose? I still intend on using Kalk for top off for pH reasons. Should Iodine or Strontium be added or is there...

    Caulerpa for sale, enough interest to bother?

    My refugium has finally started to take off. Im looking to harvest the grape caulerpa (Caulerpa racemosa?) again soon. It seems to be taking about three weeks to completely fill my 30 gallon 'fuge now that its established. The last time I did it I got about three quarter of a salt bucket worth...

    Advance VHO ballast

    I picked up a new Advance VHO ballast on a REALLY good deal yesterday. After doing some research on the web I found out it is a 1500 MA ballast for two 48" T-12 110 watt VHO's, BUT the bad part is its rated at 277 volt input instead of 120 volt input. I dont suppose anyone here knows of a way to...

    Bad saltwater conditions?

    Im trying not to be vague here, but I am at a loss with what to do with my sickening fish. I have done nothing different to my reef at all. In the last week my two clowns, royal gramma and flame angel all are infested with ick. Every parameter I can test for is OK. My corals are all doing well...

    Metal halide bulb comparison, WOW!

    Before today I only had actual experience with one type of metal halide bulb and that was the 175 watt Vion Z-6 10000K bulb. I only purchased them because of the price. I have always read how the german made bulbs were such a crisp white, specifically the Ushio brand, so I thought Id give one a...

    Storing Chemi-Pure after use

    Just out of curiousity, how do you clean and store your chemi-pure after each use, or do you? I only use it a couple days of the week and up till now have thrown it away after 2-3 uses. Its starting to get expensive at $9.00 a shot so I thought about long term use, ie, use it 2 days, rinse with...
