    sps frags fs

    Looks similar to a Garf Bonsai but blue. I have both and you can definitely see the difference. Not much of a colony.

    Sorry I wasn’t clear in my post. That was a direct quote from Mark earlier this year on one of the other forums in the sps section.

    SPS Addiction

    That question has been asked many times. This about the closest to an answer i have seen from Mark. There really is no secret. They all start out as frags. I don't buy colonies, too much potential for pests and more importantly it's not as much fun for me to start with a colony. I started out...

    Interceptor or Sentinel

    All the locations I've called will not let me speak with the vet. I'd rather buy it locally. I have found it online but at twice the cost of local vendors. I'll use them as a last resort.

    Interceptor or Sentinel

    So i removed a wrasse a few weeks ago and made a huge mess of my tank. Once things settled down i noticed what looks to be white bugs on a few of my acros. Usually only 2-3 bugs are visible. Not as big as a copepod and not red. I have not added anything new for 10 months so i'm not sure where...

    question about rock thats turned black

    i had the same happen to bin full of rock. Soaked in bleach for a couple days then RO for a few days with a small powerhead to provide circulation. Placed in tank right after. No issues.

    Nice sticks! Very brave of you to make changes with a tank looking like that. It may seem like common sense but make sure your effluent is draining right above your return pump. I made the mistake of having it drip close to the display ph probe giving me a false reading. Saw a difference of .3...

    Schnitzel's Shallow Leemar 250

    You are correct but its not going to set off an alarm of low or high ph. Having to check to make sure your solenoid is acting normal is just as bad as having to visually see if the effluent is flowing. I'm OCD with my tank and i check my apexfusion several times a day but there are those days i...

    I was thinking the same. Like i mentioned above melting more media increases the chances of clogging up your reactor. The bad part is you'd never know it was clogged unless you see it or test your alk. A clogged reactor and away for the weekend can cause a disaster in short time.

    Schnitzel's Shallow Leemar 250

    May i ask at what ph do you run your reactor? Have you tried running it slightly lower to get a more concentrated effluent without melting the media in the reactor thus using less co2? I tried that for a while and it worked but my reactor constantly clogged.

    Schnitzel's Shallow Leemar 250

    I was thinking the same when i was running at a similar ph. We always want more growth no matter how fast our acros grow. Almost nuked my tank by adding kalk to my ato container trying to raise the ph. Running the air intake line to my skimmer to the outside helped a bit but not much so i...

    Are you having issues with low ph? Do you run your fuge light opposite of your display lights? Curious what your ph swing is since i just now switched back to my calcium reactor and stopped 2 part. I blamed my slow growth on low ph but looks like i was wrong.

    Calcium Reactor and CO2 pressure

    I found that the higher the pressure the more sensitive the needle valve gets. 10 psi was just perfect on my cheap regulator.

    Looks like you have a Burket solenoid. I believe they have a on/off life cycle of 1 billion. You're good. lol. I have a very inexpensive regulator. Time to get alanle to build me one and get my reactor back on line.

    How often does it switch on/off in a 24hour period? Thats a very small gap. I was afraid of my solenoid failing prematurely when i had a setting of 6.75 off and 7 on. It would switch off maybe 2-3 times during lights on but 10-12 times during lights off.
