WHat are your opionions of this light and what would I beable to grow? Im downsizing from a 75 to a 30.

Good luck and good going on that gas. I how it all turns out ok. A battery powered air pump should be a requirement. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Just run the power heads and a heater. Keep you gen off as much as possible. Depending on the how much $$ you got in the tank you may have to siphon gas by dropping the tank on your vehicle if u have one. Sounds extreme but you are in an extreme situation. Can someone from out of town bring you...

1. I have never ever seen or heard of this 2. Why would you put something in your tank that you have no clue what it is. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Seems I have some vermintid snails. What can I do about them? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Um, hello? So I go away for a while and matt's thread goes silent??? and i dont even talk that much....

yeah Idk where I was going with that burning coral. :confused: I meant to say what was previously corrected by the above poster but I got hung up I guess.

True. But even your fixture has a decent amount of spectrum. I would never try to deviate from anything unnatural. I want my corals to be colorful and get as close to the same spectrum of light that they would outside of my tank

Yeah well can anyone recommend a good salt for mixed reef? My pH is about 7.8 during the day and if. I checked early morning before lights on its about 7.3. I almost have been tempted to check with stand pH test kits just to see if it isn't lower. Alk is about 8.

Yup I knew that. I was thinking of drilling a hole in the wall and running my skimmer air tube out of that.. I heard that can be done but you have to run carbon in line with the skimmer. How or what do I get to hook up so I can do this.

They are sending me a new one. That was awesome customer service. They don't even want my old one back. My pH has been off ever since I transfered from salinity to IO. Can't figure out y

Yeah I didn't think about calling them. I'll do that later on and see if I can get a refund or exchange. I have a feeling that it's one reason my corals are mad. At least my candy cane, toadstool and orange plate a mad. 2nd reason is I believe the IO salt is just junk. I read a post somewhere...

LEDs are fine but you HAVE to remember that the only LEDs that don't kill coral are the units with multiple colors. I see so many people get the blue and white LED units a day wonder why their coral is dead/burned to a crisp.

I do and it's off every time I calibrate it. I can check my mix a few times then use it the next day and it's off by about 4 ppt

Okay I'll try that but the skimmer is oxygenation the water... Which should raise pH... Right? Since carbonized acid lowers it.

Yeah I calibrated with RO and then I calibrated for 35ppt. What's the temp on the calibration fluid mean

I got this refractometer about a month ago and liked it at the beginning. But now it seems like it won't keep a calibration. Any help or am I doing something wrong. Do I have to recalibrate every time I use it. It is an ATC so temp shouldn't effect it after 45 secs right? Also another thing I...

This is interesting. I recently ran out of seachem salinity salt and switched to IO and my pH has been 7.8 max with the lights on and the best I ever seen it was 8.1. Either its IO interacting with the old salt or just IO and RC period. I'm looking for a new salt after this junk is done.

Yeah paws is expensive but good selection mostly. There is a place called ultimate aquariums in Daleville just outside of Roanoke. It's a dump but they can order anything and they also do in home things so and I've heard there good though. There is also a place just inside north Carolina called...

Welcome. What part of VA you from? I'm. Just outside of Roanoke
