I have like 4 spots of these things....which look like small anenomes...but one is touching my big Green Monticap and killing the edge....what the best way to get rid of these things?

baking soda before using it in the tanks.....?? It removes something... How long and at what temperature? Then what? Mix it with RO/DI top off water... Todd

What type of Calcium do you add to your tank. It seems when I add Seachem Reef Adv Calcium to my tank I get a white hard film on the inside of my tank that has to be scrapped off with razor blades?? What can I add that won't do that to my tank. Or am I adding too much at one time?

Is their something that can be used as a substitute? I read somewhere that pickeling lime can be used. im looking for a cheaper alternate other than the standard kalkwasser powder.

its been a while since i have posted any pics so thought i would show some growth shots and some new pieces ! first ones will be growth shots .

I thought it would be interesting to create a thread containing (and this assumes there isn't one already in existince) a list of all the things you don't think about buying when you first start out on your saltwater adventure. Everyone is told to get the test kits and the magnets, the protien...

Anyone had any recent luck finding Ms Wages Pickling Lime locally? Preferrably on the west side

I got my kalk reactor a while back and used Kent Marine Kalkwasser. I ran out and got Balls Pickling Lime. My calcium levels have been lower. Around 320 unlike 420 when I used Kalkwasser. I just increased my stir rate from every 4 hours for 2 mins. to every 4 hours for 4 minutes. I just wondered...

I disconnected my MCR CR2 setup months ago 'cause i was having trouble stablizing Calc/Alk/pH & needed the room for a UV to fight Ich. I took some ood advice and stoped dosing everything to let the tank find its balance. nowadays, I do a 20% water change most weeks using reef salt at 1.025...

Misc Items for sale, Need to buy new Chiller ASAP! Ok, so i got back from my "vacation" (if you want to call it that, its not fun sleeping on the couch at your parents house with all your siblings staying there also) and find that my tank has been boiled!!!! My roommate was supposed to be...

Hello all, These questions are going to make me sound like a newbie, but things have changed in resent years and some point along the way I missed something. 1. A reletivily new product that has come onto the market in recent years is the two part calcium doser. This is something that I...

After researching calcium suplementers, I've decided to get a kalkwasser reactor, and wondering which is best. Seems the two biggest types are pump or stirrer. Any ideas on problems? I've read about scaling in the pump types, but no info on stirrer types.

I found it at Walmart today in the canning section. The ladies working there didn't know what it was but pointed me to the canning area and viola! Ball Pickling Lime... $1.47 for a 16 oz jar. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted to get kalk at grocery store prices. :)

I have heard you guys say to use pickling lime as a cheaper replacement for Kalkwasser. Has any one tried or heard anything about Balls pickling lime. I use some and it looks like it snowed in my tank and it took about 24 hours for it to disolve. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx

I know I'm being cheap, but for those that dose... I recently read that pickling lime and Kalkwasser have the same essential ingredient (calcium hydroxide). Further, that pickling lime can be used in the place of Kalkwasser as a calcium supplement. The main advantage of Kalkwasser is that it...
