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...

is there any benefit To dosing potassium?

Danyen suggested I start dosing w/ 2-part a few weeks ago when my xenia was on the brink of death (most of it had already died). I started using nano reef 2-part and it was like my tank came to life.....it was crazy. within a week all the coral was puffy and happy....you could actually see...

Hi Guys and Gurls, I am in dire need of a replacement 3200 GPH Dolphin (Ampmaster) marine pump if anyone has one or knows of one locally (upstate SC) that I can buy (even retail at this point, $$$, the days will make a difference). If I cannot find one by Saturday evening, I guess I will order...

so i got this 240.00 pinpoint nitrate monitor today and it stinks. every time i try to cal. it i get a Err_P message. The manual says to check the probe connection to the monitor but its right. If i put the tip of the probe in the 1ppm, the 10ppm, or the 100ppm i get a high reading meaning the...

My Alk will normally drop from 9.6 to 9.0 dKh in 2 to 3 days. Today I tested after 3 days and I dropped to 7.0. What would cause a sudden drop like that? Other parameters: Calcium dropped from 420 to 410 Mg stayed steady at 1260

the side of the red sea pro salt bucket says that a level of 450ppm of calc will be at 1.022 and the higher the SG the higher the calc level goes. I kept my SG at 1.024 so i have a calc level of 520ppm. This was checked with a api kit and verified with sailfert so i know its right. And it is the...
