I got my bundle for $40 but I those look like they are worth more. I personally would buy one. Just think...its only $12 and they will multiply over time and then yours will look like this.

so buy it for your girlfriend and tell her she can keep it in your tank.

When I bought my jersy calf the guy gave my a bull calf for free. It just happened to be close to hubbys B-day so I gave him the bull calf and he couldn't say anything about it.

yeah i dont know HOW that happened...im thinking it might not be that bad and the test may have been a little off. Either way i started dosing the mg, should raise it 100ppm a day. Ill test it on monday when i expect it to be at about 950ish if i dose to raise it 100ppm a day. if its about 950 ill continue to dose the same amount or adjust as needed until i get it to 1300ish

just dose it 500ppm per day or basically over 2-3days..

its really bad to dose magnesium at high levels. Im not sure if 500ppm is considered that high level but the reef chemistry calculator i used said more than 100ppm a day was too much. You can stress out corals pretty bad if you add too much at a time, and with one thats already melting away, ill take it slow hah
think about it this way, would you just dump a ton of liquid calcium in your tank over 2 days to bring the calcium from like 100 up to 450?

at 100ppm all corals would be dead anyway so sure..
