  1. I was planing on keeping my titration calcium cuz it's the only one I trust my readings on lol! Thanks for the feedback! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I'm thinking about picking up some Hanna checkers, because the color changing titration tests are driving me nuts! I'm just horrible at seeing the "right" color change. Anyways, what checkers do you guys recommend? I know I want an ALK one but other than that I'm not sure. Suggestions? I'm keeping lots of SPS and zoas right now so my nutrient levels are important. There are just so many checkers and I could use some help narrowing the options down. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Hypo salinity worked for me but you'll need to remove all inverts from your tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I'm looking to get some acrylic frag racks for my frag tank. Does anyone have any laying around? Found one, still looking for a second Let me know what you've got! Figured I would look local before buying online. I can do either cash or trade for corals! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. If a spot opens up, count me in please! Would love to get in on this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Alright folks, posting this up for my father. I've got a 6ft fixture up for grabs. It consists of three 400W metal halides and two T12 bulbs. The fixture comes with two ballasts, one is a single and the other is a double. Used this above his 180 but now he has gone with LEDs. The super atinic bulb was replaced about a month before he took out this fixture. The fixture is also made up of three sections. Each section consists of a metal halide bulb and its reflector. So you can take it apart if you would like. Disclaimer: The single ballast needs a new start capacito . It does not fire up, I had someone look at it and they said the the capacito was shot but could be replaced for $15. He is looking to get $150 obo. Or a nice coral pack for his tank. Thanks for looking!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. TPA has the black kind if your in that area! But they only have 2x4 I believe so you would have to cut it down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Just wanted to give a big thanks to C&C for their awesome specials this weekend! Picked up a couple of sweet SPS pieces. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Perfect! Wasn't sure how far back you were letting it go. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. What if we have only been a member for a few months? Love my zoas and acros haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thank you everyone for all of the information! I'll slowly ramp my LEDs up to 100%, Jeff said he also keeps his at about 100%. I do believe that I may be starving them also. I would only feed my fish maybe once a day and feed the coral two times a week. I'll try feeding more and see how things go from there. I really appreciate you guy helping me out! I'll let you know how it goes in about a week! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Checked both my nitrates and phosphates and both came out as 0. I have a little bit of Algae so that may have influenced the test. It was also just the standard API test and nothing fancy. I think I'm gonna go down to TPA tomorrow and have them run all the tests on my water to make sure my test kit is working ok and to get a second opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I've seen tanks with these lights and know they can yield great results, such as yours and Jeff's that's why I'm trying to figure out what's going on and thought it may be my light intensity. I'll test my other parameters tonight and see what they tell me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I've been running the OR's since the beginning, so maybe it's not the lighting as you suggest. I had been running GFO since the beginning and read that I may be cleaning the water to much so I haven't been running it for about two weeks to let my phosphates creep up slowly. Haven't checked nitrates in a while but last time I texted the water there were at 0 (API test). I'll test nitrates and phosphates when I get home tonight. Feeding wise I have two tangs in the system right now. My little yellow tang for Algae control and then a blue tang I have under observation before placing in the display. I feed about once a day. So my bio load is fair with these monster poopers haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I'm at work right now. I'll get those for you guys when I get home! If they were high though wouldn't the SPS be turning a brown color? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I have two ocean revive LEDs above my SPS frag tank. The lights are about 20" above the surface of the water. Frags are only about 3 inches under the surface. The frags are encrusting nicely but their color is not the best. The colors seem like they are faded. Not bleached but not nearly as dark and vivid as they should be but growth is good. Is my lighting to strong or not strong enough? I have my blues at 45% and whites/full spectrum at 30%. Is there anyone else that runs OR's on their frag tanks that could shed light on what they keep their light percentages at? Or could anyone help me figure out why their coloration may not be up to par? I read a lot about it and I know it could be like a million things but I feel like it's my lights but it could be something else. Any ideas? All my parameters are steady.
