Can anyone help me identify the algae I'm dealing with? I haven't checked my parameters in a really long time but I do weekly 5 gallon water changes with RO/DI water. Zero TDS according to my meter. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I guess I haven't been on in over a year.... shame on me. it is definitely Acanthastrea echinata. I haven't been able to do a whole lot with my tank in the past year due to a down turn in the industry I work in. It is on the rise however and i am starting to get the saltwater bug again.

Orange crush echinata? Anyone? Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

Can anyone assist me with identification of this coral? Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

I use a jaebo RW-8 in mine. Good flow, controllable and not going to break the bank. Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

Not to plug any specific companies......... but, I purchased a 5 stage RO/DI from air, water and ice for a fair price 2 years ago. I have only changed the carbon, coconut and floss filters one time. I still get 0 TDS. Im really happy with it. I can't help you on lights as I ran Chinese lights...

Well I broke down and upgraded my Chinese LED's. I decided to go with 2 Ai hydra 26 HD's. I was going to do one hydra 52 HD, but I figured if I upgrade to a larger tank later on, two was better then one. What a difference in looks between the Chinese and the Ai's. Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

I skipped the mud. Used aragonite in the refugium. I now need to begin stocking up on frags. Got my first acro. Hope it makes it Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

Thank you, I did a 5gal water change last night but dropped the specific gravity to only 1.028 in fear of shocking anything in the tank. I will drop SG a little more next week. Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

What is the safest time frame to bring specific gravity down? I finally bought a refractometer and it would appear when my hydrometer reads 1.026 it's actually at 1.030.. I would like to safely bring the salinity down where it needs to be. Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk

It will be a long slow road. My daughter set a goal for me to make TOTM. Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk
