    So, I'm wrapping up a year of having my AquaController and full-time pH monitoring. Throughout the majority of the year, my pH would swing from around 8.05-8.25, hardly every falling below 8 or above 8.3 in nominal conditions. When it did fall below 8, I knew it was time to replace my kalk in...

    I have started seeing information about macroalgae being bad for SPS tanks. My system is currently running SPS dominant, but mixed reef and there is Chaeto in the sump under a light. I run the light 24/7 down there because I wanted to discourage asexual reproduction, now though I understand...

    I have had my skimmer finally "dialed in" for about 4-6 weeks now... I finally figured out what level to keep the water to get a nice dark, wet, nasty skimmate consistantly. I normally have to empty the cup about every 2-3 days and it is nasty and smelly. Well, twice in the last 2 days I have...

    I have had many different experiences using BB systems now, especially for stony coral/ reeftop biotopes now. I have noticed that if the current is strong enough to prevent detrital accumulations under the rock, that stony coral polyps tend to recede in all but the protected areas where there...

    I have a PB tang that I purchased about 3 months ago. He seems to be doing fine other than he has lost weight since I have had him. He seems to eat like a pig when ever I am feeding, and he readily accepts Ocean Nutrition formula 1 flakes, Brine shrimp flakes, Sea Veggies, SeaWeed Selects, and...

    This was posted at the bottom of the entry portal when I signed on today: I don't if there is some form of glitch in the TRT software, just an interesting fact (1969???) Anyway, just converted over to satellite today, all I can say is WOW what a difference from dialup! (and going back to...

    Due to carelessness on my part, my sump got filled with quite a bit of fresh RO water (I forgot to turn a valve off.) I just remembered a few minutes ago and went down and checked.. the salinity is at .019 (not sure how many decimals.) Is this really unsafe? I've mixed up some salty water and...

    First it was the mother torch colony, then the green red Favia, now my elegance. I am really sick of this! Only seems to affect lps. I would need a macro lens to get a shot and then dont know if it would do well. Cant find anything on wet web or anywhere for that matter. The dips seem to...
