Using Salifert tests. Going to compare with Hanna tests this week.

 

[mike1970]

I have both salifert is good for CALC and MAG> and Hanna good for ALK.

And not sure it matters but using reef crystals and of course rodi water.

Update. Levels have come down. Waters changes and not dosing. Things are are lower and stable. Keeping a close eye but holding off on making any changes. I did have to add livestock they ended up coming in sooner than expected.

It's a hammer but it's orange and pink. Hard to tell under my LEDs. Will try and get some better pics.

Subzeros are spotting up really nicely.
Now need to get them something to host in.

I think you should wait before you put in a Sea anemone let your tank get good and cycled

Agreed no plans of putting any anemone in my tank anytime soon.

nice shrooms and frogspawn, watch the Green Eyed Cup Coral/chalice (Mycedium sp.) placement those ones sting good.

Haven't posted in a while... Just been busy.. Tank was doing okay till last week...
So having an issue with my Chalice... I was away for 4 days before i left everything looked good. Upon my return I noticed my large Chalice had the bottom of the skeleton exposed... I only have 2 clown fish in my 65g reef tank. I did a 10% water change and my water parameters are
8.4 PH
1450 Calcium
10.4 alk
1280 Mag
No traceable nitrates andPhosphates...
1.026 salinity

My other 2 Chalice frags look to be okay and my other corals don't seem to be effected. I feed twice a week with coral frenzy at night. I spot feed everything.

here are some pics of effected Chalice. Any advice?
Sorry for the crappy pics.
