    I do not have a good experience with Acroporas. They keep bleaching after a couple of weeks from delivery. I usually get everything mail ordered. So I guess there's much stress on them in the shipping process. But what are the best ways to keep them alive and thriving? My tank is new... about 3...

    I am setting up my calcium reactor. I don't know if its just that I am tired but these instructions for my pinpoint PH controller suck. I have it calibrate. I want it to controll my CO2 solenoid. I want it to have a centerline of 6.8 with a range of +-4. 6.6-7.0 according to the MRC...

    i have two kinds of xenie. Fast pulsing and non pulsing, my alkalinity is higher then normal and the non pulse xenia is like schrivled up and skinny. could this be from the boosted DKH or something else? i also just turned my protein skimmer way farther up. could that be the reason? please reply...

    Okay chemists...help me out here. I was under the impression that when your alkalinity goes up, it usually drives your Calcium down. And vice versa. And if you raise your Calcium, your alkalinity should drop. Come anyone tell me under what circumstances the previous statement WOULDN'T...

    OK WTH!!! I mess with my alkalinity, and my calcium drops. I mess with my calcium and my alkalinity drops. Now both powder additives arent supposed to mess with the other.

    That's right, I misread the instructions on the KH test kit and ended up adding too much SuperBuffer KH. :doh: Now I have 90 gallons of water with the KH at about 16. Salinity is at 1.023. The PH is at 8.45 on a new calibrated PinPoint. :( I know what the solution is...make new water and...

    I recently ordered a Pinpoint pH Controller and it has the ability to controller pH both high and low. I am hooking the high to my calcium reactor. I was thinking of adding a DIY Kalk reactor hooked up to the controller for raising pH if and when it got low. then I would just have a container...
