    Damn dKh...

    what salt mix are you using? I had this problem with TM. Alk was low so I did water changes to bring it up right? Wrong. My mix was low so it made no difference. Being lazy and not testing enough so my alk hovered around 6 dkh and lost some sps before I realized what was going on. I went back to...

    Need help!

    I agree with the Red Sea light being too intense and that feeding is the key. I slowly acclimated 2 tanks (nems, various coral) slowly to AI this year. Still bleached some acans, goni and frogspawn. I've kept nems under t-8s back in the day (20+ years ago) following GARF's approach. But had...

    What do you think about Aqua Illumination?

    The wifi on my girl's tank went out after 2 years. Have to turn it on manually which totally sucks. It actually went haywire and fried a green slimer, bleached half the heads on a frogspawn and almost nuked some zoas believe it or not. AI said send it in but no spare atm. Debating radion or a...

    Coral Plague

    I bet it was red slime remover. I've sworn off those after several bad experiences. Or like you say the mp40 magnet. IME high temps never caused stn or issue with my sps. I used to run 250 halides and my tank would hit 84. One of my tanks still does, lol, but only have birdsnest, slimers...

    I've used Dr. Tim's and Microbacter over the years. Once to cycle. I prefer Dr. Tim's. Dr. Tim has a kit complete with ammonia which I haven't used it but plan to soon. hth

    Gold torches

    Actually I usually pay the asking price. Except with cars. Longo Toyota hates me. In fact, I got a good deal on a skimmer last week and kicked the guy a couple extra bucks. 5% to be exact. I know I could have knocked off a few bucks from a light I bought recently. But it was a decent price and...

    A tray of morning goodness...

    I'm bringing my old DIY ATS back for a new tank that's cycling atm. Just have a clamp on LED flood light, 5k I think. Skimmers, IME, aren't sufficient. I gotta check out your site for LEDs.

    Air bubbles

    Hard to see in the picture but if there's any brown, long stringy strands it's dinos. I read an article about raising the tank's temp to 82 for a week or 2 to kill them. Theory is, in the past, with metal halides, our tanks got hot, preventing dinos. I added a filter with fine filter floss too...

    Need to bug bomb, can't move tank

    for fleas there are a few options ime. I have/had dogs and cats so we treat them. For the house I use "insect trap" which is a sticky trap with led light. Works great in rooms with hw and carpet. I hate blood sucking parasites, lol.
