delbeek - not rude at all and I will take any advice due to all the money I've invested in the tanks. As for reading, I'll be honest with you, I'm almost done reading the materials referenced here and other sites and not one book was able to properly or correctly referenced any of the problems...

pH experiment??? did you need something. I can tell you that as soon as I add that thing, my pH, ammonia and nitrate levels were through way off, pH goes down and ammonia goes through the roof - I lost a couple of fish to it because when I measured my ammonia it said I was at 3+, I almost had a...

sounds like I have a nice cocktail refreshment in my hands for when uninvited guests come over :)

thank you for the welcome, it's much appreciated and thank you for the informative link. Out of all the places on the web for research and advice, reefs.org seems to be in the top 3-5 and the one I visit most frequently, even though I just signed up not loo long ago. Thanks again, I'll be...

Has anyone used this product? And if so, has anyone had any decent results with it that justifies the cost of the product and headache of readings being off...? Also, is it good for just coraline algae and anemone's? Thanks in advance.

if I understand you correctly you need to shave off about 1/4" off the top so that light would fit - I would not do it if I were you unless you're using 40W lights, if you're using power compacts or anything else, it will get too hot for the wood and it will burn it, although wood catches on...

FYI - for those interested and in case this happens to you, it was all stress related. Purchased a couple of more live rock and created a couple of more hiding places, almost instantly (within 2 hours), he was back to his normal color. Amazing!

Thank you - I read the article, most informative. I will try those other ones you suggested and see what I come up with.

for calcium I'm using Kent Marin's Tech A and Tech B (2 part) product, but also, most frequently I've been suing Kent Marine Turbo Calcium.

Thanks for all the info!

question for you vets - I recently moved and with me came my 72G and 125G - currently both fish only, but I do intend to go reef after I settle some issues i'm having. Here is the problem: Until I moved, everything was great, now, with the new water (which is tap water/city water) yes I know...
