    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    Okay gotcha. Well I don't really have the option to take all of the livestock out at the moment so I think I'm going to have to just roll with the high phosphate levels for a while. Most of the corals still look good but I did notice that some of the SPS have browned up a bit. I guess it's just...

    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    I obviously tested the water and it depends but most of the time nitrates are zero. The highest I've ever seen it is like lower than five ppm. And yes it's free that's why I switched from mixing my own to using scripps when I moved here ha ha I have a 300 gallon container that I keep in my...

    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    It's the water that we get here in San Diego from the Scripps Institute of oceanography. It's basically a faucet over there by the Institute that is filtered ocean water. It's the same water that is used in the Birch aquarium that is right next to it...

    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    That's what I thought, I was just making sure because I've been doing GFO With Coral in the tank the entire time and I thought I was screwed up or something LOL

    You think Scripps is that bad? I'm about to test it and see.

    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    Nitrates are at about 10 ppm, they are usually at zero so it's time for me to do a water change... The bio pellets have been going on this tank for about a month now but they're old bio pellets from my previous set up that were already established. Don't know if that matters? The macroalgae...

    Phosphate WAY Too High!

    Ok I just got my Hanna Po4 checker and I tested twice. The second time because I couldn't believe how high it was and thought it must be a mistake! The first reading was 1.14ppm and the second 1.13ppm! What the heck!? I just did a 40 gal water change a few days ago with Scripps water and I...

    Desjardini Tang Help

    I have a Desjarsini Tang that's a pretty good size, between 7"-8" from nose to tail. He is by far the largest fish in my 190 gallon tank. I'm having a problem getting him to eat the food that I feed the rest of the fish. He has no problem eating nori, But it just seems like the smaller fish are...

    Calcium Precipitation?

    Yes I have 1 crocea clam. That's possible. My tank did rise in temp a few days ago. Someone also brought up sporulation from the caulerpa in my fuge? Possible high alkalinity also...LPS looking shriveled. I'll test once my new kits arrive but as of now I can't do anything lol The tank is clear...

    Calcium Precipitation?

    Woke up this morning to a "milky" tank. I've definitely seen this before(not with my tanks) online and I think it was due to calcium precipitation due to low mag levels. Anything else this could be? Did a 20% water change. Testing calcium right now. Ran out of alk and mag tests. Will pick up...

    Terrible experience at Fish Collection/Reefers Lounge-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They actually have a huge selection of LR if I'm not mistaken. Those huge sumps that run down the center of the store are packed with it I think. Haven't been there in a while. Picked up a badass gold hammer the last time I was there for $25
