    dirty rocks

    Personally, I would just do the bleach and skip the acid.

    Are those Quality Marine Eco Rocks? If they are, let me tell you, they are awesome. I won a box of these rocks at the Socal coral show raffle. Coralline loves these rocks because it is so porous. All of my real rocks...almost no coralline. The QM rocks, holy cow, it is fully covered. The...

    Trident test results

    I would trust the Hanna checkers. They are very accurate as well.

    Trident test results

    Trident has weird results from time to time, So I would not use it to control anything. It’s a good tool to verify trend. I see a few weird results and I take a look if anything is wrong. Like this example, I will probably take a Salifert test to verify what is the real calcium. And I would...

    Started my first phyto culture. NEW videos

    How's the culture going? And what are you culturing now and how much are you culturing? Your success if making me think that I can do a small phyto culture. Is there a guide on how to start? I read that recommended 5ml per 10 gallon dose....wow, I only dose ~25ml in my 250gal tank at night.

    Trident test results

    I don’t use the calibration fluid from Trident since I’m using ABC reagents and they don’t provide calibration fluids. So I take a sample of the tank water and use my Salifert test kits to measure Alk/cal/mag. Then I take those numbers and input them into the calibration of the trident, and...

    I love how that encrusting monti is growing up the side wall. And it's that rainbow type of monti. Looks awesome.

    Trident test results

    For me, I trust my Hanna or Salifert checker results more than my Trident. So I always independently test Calc, Alk and Mag with the Hanna/Salifert test kits for my calibration, and use that as my calibration input into Trident. You might want to test the calibration fluid with the test kits...

    Trident test results

    What are you calibrating it against? Are you using the Neptune reagents or ABC reagents? Are you dosing near or same time the Neptune tube intake?

    Keeping Sand Bed Clean?

    LOL. I added like 30-40 small nassarius vibex snails into my tank to help with sand cleaning, but I think my wrasse ate them all as I don't a single snail left. Anyone have extra sea cucumber? I haven't seen any in the LFS near me. I think Ellis Aquatics have some for $25, and I might have...

    Where is it leaking from? The bulkhead on the bottom of tank or through the threads connection?

    Sweet! No leaks. I like how the returns are pushing water towards the overflow without the piping showing.
