  3. Calcium levels - how to maintain

    This is an old subject and perhaps you can point me to some articles to read that will help - I'm having trouble getting my CA levels anywhere near 400. I have a 120 FOWLR (kinda) with some softies and one LPS. There is almost no purple coraline and I'd like it to grow. If I add a 2-part...

  8. Quiet circulation pumps
