Ok here it goes! 115 gallon reef, setup started in October 2004.

Here it is! The tank is far from finished still requires some paint and some odds and ends, but here's some pics. This whole project started when my boss gave me this acrylic tank that was in need of some serious repair! It took three weeks to sand and polish it enough to see through the...

Ok I've tested with both the Seachem and the Seifert both are getting the same readings... however, today the level has gone from 900ppm to 800ppm. I would have questioned the Seachem test kit, but not the Seifert since it's brand new. I did also test the Alk and found it to be lower then the...

Alk=10.2 dkh pH=8.0 Salinity=1.023 Phos=.1ppm Mg=1320ppm Calcium= 900ppm These were readings from yesterday when the calcium was around 900ppm. Today I did 25% H2O change and will re-test later this afternoon. Thanks for helping me out here, I appreciate it!

There's there's actually two 175 watt bulbs in the Hamilton Hood. This tank has been up and running for a number of years and never had this problem. Tested it yesterday and saw that the levels are at 900ppm, prior to the water change. The corals have been doing so well until now, all the...

A question that we are not able to find the answer too! We have 150 gallon reef aquarium, 175 watt halide, 2 superblue 30 watt actinics, generally on from 9am to 6pm. We noticed that some of the corals we dying back so we decided to test calcium on a daily basis. We dose the tank with B-Ionics...

Nope! No skimmer and as shalegac said, levels are fine! A few months ago I had a problem with the ammonia going up a little but by the next day it was gone! I do a weekly water change of about one gallon that was premixed with R/O the week before, which I keep in a gallon jug with an...

Thanks! The tank has been set up since October 12 of last year.

Thought I'd post a few pics of the nano tank since I had some updated photo's that I took last weekend. Equipment: Tetra Tec (HOB) w/heater Power Sweep Powerhead Life Lite Retrofit 32 watt Livestock: 2 Percula Clowns 1 Acropora Frag 1 Star Polyp (that has doubled its size since introduced to...

I've noticed in the past few weeks that the filter media in the Tetra filter, which hangs on the back of my nano reef, is for a better word, "Clogging Up!" My question, since I know there's much needed good bacteria growing in there, can it be removed and washed or replaced? Would it be...

dgrin Thanks for the info! I am seeking out a place that sells RO water, I'm not willing to purchase a RO system for a 7 gallon reef tank. I do 1 gallon water changes every Saturday. So I will try using RO water if I can locate it. Thanks again for you help! Greg :lol:

Thanks Podman, I do have live coral in there so Shortning the light cycle might pose to be a problem. :cry: Thanks for the advice! Greg

I have a 7 gallon Nano Reef Aquarium that has been set up now for about a month. I have no problems with any of the livestock, but I do have a large problem with hair like algae, which seems to be growing quite well on my Fiji live rock. It's not that attractive and I would like to remove it...
