    Rsm 250 temperature swings

    RSM250 Lights Out

    I came home tonight to a dark tank in what should have been the middle of the light cycle. They were on when I left. I manually cycled the timer and no lights. I'm thinking maybe the fuse blew. Any other thoughts on how to troubleshoot or has anyone had this come up?

    Relationship between Ca and Mg

    I just started measuring and trying to control Mg in my tank. I am trying to do a better job with Ca, Mg, and dKh because I am moving to LPS. I was at Ca 420 and Mg 1280. Added enough Mg additive to bring Mg to 1300. My next measurement was Ca 480 and Mg 1420. I am using Salifert test...

    Moving to LPS

    I have had my 65 gallon aquarium up for 6 months now. For the most part, corals have done well in the tank. I have about 6 zoos, a mushroom and 3 leathers ( toadstool, finger, and Kenya). A couple xenias have not done well and a birds nest SPS I bought by mistake bleached and died in a month...

    Purple Heart Zoas not opening

    I got about 6 different zoos from an online dealer 3 days ago. All are open, happy, and healthy except for the Purple Heart. It has not opened. It looks healthy but I have not seen any color. Advice? Should I just be patient? Change location?

    Calcium and alkalinity Control

    RSM 250 Coral Colors

    My RSM 250 has been up for 5 months with no major issues. I have 7 corals in it and they seem to be doing well with one issue. Over time, everything is starting to be the same color. Green finger leather, gold banded clove polyp, and blue Xenia all looking healthy, but are a pale shade of...
