New Member wants to say Hello

​

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Hi from Boston,
just found this site. I am a member of the BRS Boston Reefers Society.

I have asked in BRS and I am not getting any real answers

I have noticed that several chalices are beginning to recede, Anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing them to recede?[/FONT]

How long have you had your chalices for? Do you have any close up pics of your chalices?

Alk is too low

Probably not the root of your problem, but you didn't post your calcium level. Your magnesium appears low, but the proper number is tied to your calcium level.

Your PH could be a problem, depending on what the daily swing is. 7.8 is low, but not deadly or necessarily problematic depending on how big and which way it swings. (your PH will swing over the course of the day)

WELCOME TO MR!! I'm going to agree that your Alk is low. Keep in mind that mag level has a lot to do with the balance between your alk and cal levels.

I don't know much, but from what I have noticed from my chalice they prefer low light. Mine are doing great in the shadows. Hope that helps.

By the way, nice tank & crib.:afro:
