Success!!

Tapatalk let me in for 1 day.  Now gives a big long error if you try to log in.  Am I the only one having trouble?

So the stirrers are to stir the solution your dosing?

This is the only forum I ever reply to. It is by far the best reef forum there is. I see our quotes and reposts on national forums more than I see any other local forum quoted. This is my take on why some new guys might feel slighted or left out or whatever you want to call it. When you are new, I believe if you ask a question or make a comment about what you are going to do, you should take the advice given and then do some research. I have trouble with new people coming here and saying they are going to reinvent the wheel while 30 of us read it and say that's not going to work. The humble person that accepts advice goes the furthest. If you hear something that you don't agree with then don't reply. Do research and come back with that. We all see people come and go and make the same mistakes, so sometimes a not so warm response by the seasoned guys might come off as short. But pm is always an option to say hey that hurt. No one here will continue it in a pm if you just say I didn't know, can you explain further. I love arc and help out every chance I get. I'm not necessarily friendly because I'm stating facts from experience. And my daughter likes to compliment mikes hair when he comes over. And he says thank you. That's how it's done

How are you getting the aiptasia out of your tank and into the breeding tank? Do they eat the real big aiptasia too? I have those huge glass anemone/aiptasia. I'm assuming they are different

I don't like check valves and I don't think restricting flow from the drain is good. It's better to throttle the pump. Put the valve on the pump and adjust flow. It won't hurt the pump. Drill a hole in whatever delivers water to the tank. A small hole. It's a siphon break. Put it just above the water line. Power goes out and drain finishes and siphon breaks stops tank from draining. Practice power outages and the adjust water level in sump. Unless I misunderstood this setup and in that case never mind

RCA has brs di resin

Why didn't Tim change his shirt? Kim changed like 50 times! Awesome update.

So are the lights all the way across? I couldn't tell from their site. I have a biocube 29 and have 3 bml in the original hood.

Never mind. I just saw on their site they have 18" ones now.

That's pretty sweet looking. Is it a 12" with extra material on the sides? What's the cost for this custom job? Added cost I should say.

I think you be pleased with that skimmer. I'm gonna get one also. A couple of guys here have them and like them.

That's a sweet sump.

I agree with all. Looks great. Is your fu man chu the only fish?

But I found dosing too little never will bring it up.

I have dumped about two or three times the recommended amount without any problems. The guy at aquatek told me he does it all the time. 400 might be too much though.

I've been having the same problem. What salt are you using? I can dump mg in my tank everyday and it goes down quickly throughout the day. I also get high reading of alk on my new made water. I had this problem before with redsea coral pro so I changed to fluval salt. Then it all evened out and stopped fluctuating. Everyone made me think I was crazy so I went back to redsea. Now problems are back. It's real frustrating. My coral have all stopped growing.

Looks awesome!!

Looks real good. The pics look great too.

Tank looks great. And that clam looks amazing!

Looks really great.

Lookin good. That puffer is cool. I always wanted one.

if you had been using MH or T5, and then put your LEDs at 100%, you *will* kill all your corals.

Victoly, *Will* seems pretty convinced. Now I'm not claiming to be an expert just sharing my experience, but I recently switched from MH to LED and did no acclimation at all. 6 weeks later my coral is still doing fine. No bleaching at all. I have zoas, gonoporia, mushrooms, candy canes and torches and a few other unidentified pieces. Am I lucky or do I just have less sensitive animals?    

I can't post pics cause tapatalk says I'm not signed in. When I try to sign it it says I'm already signed in. Any ideas?

That sponge is cool. Your tank has a nice balance of colors.
