i went up to ace hardware today to get some painting stuff, and i saw out of the corner of my eye that they had 50lb bags of pelladow, and 50lb bags of magnesium chloride, so a lightbulb went off in my head after reading farleys article in reefkeeping a few months back. and since im almost out...
What the heck? I have some ideas I want to try and entering the contest will push me towards actually doing them ;)
I'm building a 125 Gallon system for the house and want to try building a nano from scratch for my desk at the office so this will be the one :D
Nothing in stone yet but I will...
Hey everyone,
I am pretty new here so here is my official TheReefTank thread
My Background
I started my first reef tank in August 2006. Originally I wanted to start a planted fresh water Amazon tank. My plan was to be able to have a freshwater ray. However, I had a friend that was into reefs...
No not getting out of the hobby just taking a break from salt for awhile. So I've decided to see what type of interest I can get for this setup.

Tons of aptasia hitchiked on my live rock. Are they good or bad??? I plan to make this tank mostly soft corals (it's a new tank and not even cycled yet.) also found a quarter sized Asterina. It appears to be munching on alge and not touching the mushrooms. I think I'll keep the Asterina for new...
bought this today while at home depot . it doesn't have an ingredients list , only states " caution contains calcium chloride "

Where is the best place to get kalk?
What are the best test kits to use when using klak?
Is it as smple as mixing kalk in ro/di water and then adding (slowly) that to the sump?
any good threads or links that will help me learn more about kalk?
Thanks
you guys are a great help. I read...
We mainly have fish only with Live Rock... We would like to encourage coralline algae growth and found that we should be adding reef Builder and Reef Advantage... We don't know anything about these items and are looking for guidance... We only test for Ph, ammonia, Nitrates, and Nitrites...
Anyone know who's has some in stock, localy, hopefully?
seems to be a shortage or maybe i am looking in the wrong area of the store.
my girl work's at 'wally world' (walmart), witch department should it be in?
Has anyone found pickling lime at any major grocery stores etc? Ive looked at a few places (albertsons, WINCO Fred Meyer etc) but havnt been able to find it.
Anyone know of a place? Preferably somewhere near Tigard.
Has anyone seen Mrs. Wage's or Ball brand pickeling lime in the Portland area? Walmart use to carry it but, I guess we are kinda out of canning season. If you happen to have seen it around, let me know.
Thanks!!

Arrow Crab just hanging out waiting for something to eat. This one already ate two of my sea slugs. He just may be exiled to the fuge in the near future.
Okay, its me again. I have several questions. I have done a bunch of reading on these topics and seen several results but nothing that everyone practices. I guess thats what reefin is all about.
1. How often do most of you do water changes? Especially people who don't fuge or sump? And do...
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...

I'm having two problems; 1st - I have a growing number of glass anemone that I need to control or eliminate, 2nd - I was told that peppermint shrimp were good at controlling the glass amemone but I have now lost three of them. I think my Neon Dottyback is the problem. He's very aggressive, not...
