    Water changes. Why were you dosing in the first place?
  8. Robb in Austin
    Very nice work Steve!

    Agree, it is difficult at best to tell if a BTA will bubble or not. Tthe lack of bubbles is not a positive ID. Although, the presence of them is. I got my GBTA from RCA that was beautifully bubbled when I got it but in about a day or two in my tank the bubbles deflated and have not come back. I see the semblance of one every now and then but that's it. When I had an RBTA that I got from Andrew it was the same situation. I've read in other forums that a working theory is that in low light situations they bubble to increase the surface area for the zooxanthellae which makes sense.

    The clowns shouldn't be bothering it. Crabs? Temp should be fine.
  11. Robb in Austin
    Kh of 10 should be ok. What about the temp of the tank? Other than something nipping at it, I'm stumped. I'd do a water change at the least. Maybe move it if possible.
  12. Robb in Austin
    Ric, Are you talking about a two part dosing for Ca/Alk? If so, I'd say you mis-heard. If anything, it would accelerate the growth by supplying needed ingredients.

    Uh, our sponsors?

    Today. I thought it was yesterday, but I was wrong.

    Congrats Chris and 'Lissa!

    I *might* make it tomorrow. More likely sometime Mon, possibly evening, or definitely on Tues.

    temp ?

    Robb in Austin replied to Will's topic in Reef Keeping

    I'll add another two cents. This past week our AC went out and the tank got up to 84-86. It stayed that way for 3 days total. I lost nothing and the only thing that showed any signs if stress was my hammer and frogspawn. I think the slow rise(over 12 hours) from my normal 80ish limited the insult. I don't advocate keeping your tank that hot but it shouldn't harm too much if you get there. I do not have any SPS so YMMV. I'm with CR Mike, stability is more important.

      Ugh. Need a new condenser at the least. It's 86 in here!

    The fish will probably be fine. I'd be more concerned with the corals. Just be careful and observant and be ready for a water change.
  23. Robb in Austin
    Let it cycle. Baring that, a water change and some type of ammonia locking product such as Amquel/Ammo lock/Prime, etc. You might also try one of Mark's favorite products: Stability.
  24. Robb in Austin
    I'd do small, about a gallon, every day. Why did you start the abx though? Simply due to a cloudy eye?
  25. Robb in Austin
    I'll probably send someone in besides me, just to be safe. But, that's good advice in case I can't convince someone to go for me.
