    Upgrading

    Sorry it took me so long to get back here. The tank is not drilled. I'm going to ask my LFS if they do that or can recommend someone who can because I sure know nothing about that. I plan on reading your links and appreciate the information. Here is the promised photo of my tank. I admit to...

    Not sure if this was the right place to post this but over the weekend we went to Sea Grove Beach located in the Panhandle of Florida. The weather was rough and we were walking the beach and I spotted these sea critters. I know one is a snail but the other is beyond me and it was alive and...

    Plating Montipora Problems

    I'm at work so I don't have a photo but I'll post one when I get home tonight. My monti was doing well and had polyps and had even grown until a couple of weeks ago. It is now bleaching in color and I don't see any polyps. Any suggestions as to what I can do for it and can I save it? It's in...

    Calcium and Magnesium High

    Just an update. I've done 2 10% water changes since I started this thread with no dosing of anything. Also did a thorough maintenance. As of yesterday, CA is at 480, Alk is 8.75 and Mag is 1400. So I think I have it under control once again, but I am keeping a close eye out.

    Calcium and Magnesium High

    When I first started my tank the TLC and the Liq Reef were given to me by LFS and I was told to use after each water change always. I took their word for it and everything has gone very well so far in my tank so I never researched it. Then when my parameters in the CA and Mag area went so...

    Calcium and Magnesium High

    What should I do. This has been going on for about a month and I'm wondering what I need to do if anything. My normal procedure is every 10 days, do a 10% water change, I then add TLC and a small doze of Liquid Reef. The next day I do my testing. That last few times I've done this, My...
