Dose only the parts that you need. They don't have to be used together. If you can't find the CA test get the Strontium and use it like a CA test. The Strontium Kit tests for both CA and Strontium. Salifert's printer didn't get boxes to them before they ran out. So they are using the Strontium...

Nooooooooo! Don't do this. It will cause the tank to crack and shatter and I can give you 100% assurance of failure. Either in drilling it, the most likely way, or after you put water in it, the worst way. Cutting and drilling tempered glass will cause a structural weakness in the glass and it...

About 5 years ago I had a sponge in a tank that when sour and everthing thing just died in about 3 days. (a horible long story don't ask) The sponge had been in the tank for like a week after I had though that I had gotten everything out. It had absorbed all the smells from all the dead and...

Basically yes, but read this to confuse yourself even further. Pump head

Sounds good enough to get the adiction started to me. Before long you'll have halides, and a chiller, and a Calcium reactor, and a sump, and a........... Well you get the idea :p CC tends to lead to a detris build up I agree that your better off starting with a sand or argonite base.

I have to go with using a phosphate remover here also. I had a bad hair algae and Feather macro issue about a month ago. After arguing that there's no way that Phosphates were the issue I finally broke down and added some Kent Phosphate sponge to one of my filters and BAM! In less than a month...

You're welcome to it. I simply meant that it's not all encrusted with coraline and sponges, like most of the rock in my reef. It's cured and med free. It's perfectly fine rock, but I have to either take it out of the water and store it, then it's dead rock, or sell and replace it later. I think...

I have at least 50 lbs of live rock from a FOWLR tank that was about 5 years old. I bought it off a guy and I'm going to get new rock when I set it up next spring. I have no desire to keep this stuff in the laundry room until then. It looks like decent rock. Not really what I would call live by...

I assume your talking about the reddish pocillipora. I can only get a small frag, but I'll bring you a small yellow one to go with it.

How long do you think it would take us to break it all down and move it to my house. ;) Glad you are enjoying you latest purchase(s). Sorry you had to go back to work to support you habit.:D Are you going to the MAS "fest" at the Aquarium this Saturday?

The Diatoms, the brown stuff, are living off the nutrients in the tank. When you do a water changes with non-RO you just giving them more to feed off of, RO water might still contian silicates but it won't be as bad as the non-RO. If you get a big hand full of cerith and maragrita snails and...

Cutting it will just make it grow back later. Are you trying to get rid of it for good. If so then you'll most likely have to take out the rock and scrub all of it off. I had a piece get caught on a powerhead and it was all over the tank. I turned the rocks it was on upside down in the sand in...

The bubbles or bumps for are looking for will be more predominate or better looking if the ric is under a bright light. I have a few in my tank and the ones that have managed to get in caves all have long "bubbles" and the clones of the same ric in the light have nice and tightly pack "bubbles"...

I'd like to hear more about this product from any of you that try it. Maybe start a new post after you've had time to check it out. I read what it had to say and it all sounds right. Get rid of the excess nutrients and solve the problem. ReefNut - I was thinking the same thing "my phosphates...

Then we'll agree to diagree. I have had bryopsis for to long now and finally had a patch that was about 8" wide and 2" deep. I tried three nudi's and never got more than limited results. I put a phosphate filter on the tank about 2 1/2 weeks ago and over half of the algea is gone. It also...

My two words would be - Phosphate Remover

I added a phosphate filter to my tank about 3 weeks ago and 50% of my hair algae is gone. It has also killed off most of the taxifolia (feather macro) in my tank. It cost me about $30 for the filter and the media and at this rate it should be all gone by the first part of next month. Hair algea...

Dude, Next time we get together bring me a frag of those pink zoos.:) I started a frag of my green/orange centers the other day. Maybe we could swap. James BTW I'm on my way to pickup a turnkey 75 tonight. All it need is the MH lighting. :)

Stupid double post

Yes, but your just asking for trouble. It will be better in the long run to use a calcium based media for your substrate.
