Is the salt sealed in a bag or loose

If your use to normal plumbing, DON'T over-tighten the Red Sea pipes. SuncrestReef, which model random flow did you buy? I'm assuming it's the same for the 450. Did you have to buy any adapters?

Have the same tank. Is that a custom lid?

When using calibration fluid is it the same temperature as thr tank water?

Upscales on Saturday is fine. What time?

Would it be possible to pick up tomorrow? I'm in Tualatin.

Let's go with the handheld.

Regular water changes about 10%. Fresh water temp should be fine since it has been so hot lately.

Well, some of you have experienced the pink lemonade I had for years. Its dead- completely white in a matter of a couple weeks. My nitrates have been around 10, so I decided to add a biopellet reactor. Now I have a strawberry shortcake dying quickly (see picture). My nitrates haven't changed. What do you think? I also have a tri-color that looks stressed, turning white from the base. On the shortcake and lemonade the zooxanthellae died quickly and coral turned bright white. Can other corals kill each other? The lemonade is being touched by another shortcake and the strawberry is being touched by green slimmer. Both in the area that turned white first. Stats: pH 7.9 recently dropped to 7.6 P04 . 06 dkH. 8-9 Ca. 450 Mg 1300 Potassium 420 Salt 33 NH3 00 N02 00

I've been using Kent sea salt for sometime but getting annoyed by the deposits left in my fresh saltwater container. Attached is a picture one week after completely cleaning my fresh saltwater container. Is it normal to have this much Brown residual left? Does this occur with all salts?

Hello, I'm not real familiar with how they operate. So, either one would probably be just fine. I'm willing to wait if one is easier to use than the other.

Possible to get on list to use par meter?

Bump

I noticed tiny black spots at the base of corals in my frags system. At first I thought they were tiny bugs, but after closer inspection I wonder if they're carbon dust or gfo. I was able to easily brush or blow them off and noticed more on the bottom of the tank. Anyone have experience with gfo coming into contact with coral Frags? How does it impact them? You can see how it kills the coral when it comes into contact.

Here's a couple pictures

Interestingly, I'm using a prime HD LED light with nearly the same program schedule as my display tank. And, I'm using water from my main display tank. That said I don't think things are functioning the same as the display tank

Setup a frag tank which has been running a couple months. I added some green slimmer and other greenish corals, which are growing but turning purple. Any ideas? I added a zoe and lobo which are keeping their color. Shawn

Bump. Summer time is the time of year when tanks get neglected the most. Take advantage of this opportunity to get a good deal on the flipper Max. 🙂

Anyone seen chalk bass at any local stores?

For sale is a brand new flipper Max glass cleaner. Still in package. $65 cash or PayPal. Must pick up in Tualatin.

Looks great. Alot like my rockwork.

Did you feel safe there? Certainly want to hear more.

Caught a snail laying eggs today!

I know this is an old post, but I'm curious on the new site, how do we manage our attachements? Is there a limit to the amount of attachments we have stored? How do we delete old ones?
