why is the colors all messed up, look at the background, looks good otherwise, I would post a cleaner pic though, notice the glowing blue everywhere. If you want send me the pic and I can clean up the original for ya.

Did you get a hold of him?

Good for you, never learn till you try.

Seriously here guys... I have had this same issue when I try and dose. The BEST remedy is to simply so a few water changes on a tank that size (I ASSUMED IT WAS 30 GALLONS?), your levels should come back and I would take it easy on dosing. On a tank that size if your doing your regular weekly water changes all you should need to do is top off with some Kalk, I have tried topping mag and cal but with regular water changes and kalk a tank FULL of SPS should do fine. I think the dosing your doing is causing your alk and cal to fight each other by doing the water change (With a quality "reef" salt) should fix it very easily.

AHHHHHH Its a zombie!!!!

BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER

Porite rock is spoken for. as for the nitrate http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6154 There is the DIY I did.

Watch this video. Made my day.

Thats what the poker party is for....... DOH! And we can have Jello shots! LOL

call me........!

Thirsty thursday coming up, and we just opened a new restaurant this week, you should come, food is good and drinks are cold. Its on Coburg road.

Looks like its gone.... sorry thought you had it fixed, best I could find was a 4 bulb grow light.. lol..

OMG dude I was going to tell you there was one on Craigs in Eugene For $100 DOH, search around, it was on a freshwater tank. 6 bulb tek light.

that job reminds me of riding a bull, I was excited too, till the 8 second ran out and I could not get off! LOL Just Kidding, Good luck and enjoy yourself.

I have a cal reactor setup for sale in the classifieds, its $200 and in Salem. As its a 65 gallon you could probably get away without a cal reactor for sometime and just dose Kalk, your choice.

(wasnt me) I agree, this is a family community, we should be supporting each other. (daz) Unfortunately I think the forums as of late have kind of changed gears with more people joining, we need more social gatherings, to bad none are anywhere near you or me.

lol, my zoas are carried around by my urchins, have had the same colony for about 3 years now, rainbow palys and nuc greens... I should post a pic... always fun to frag them off his back...

Awesome, glad we had you, and glad to know ya.

Sure think the plasma is a neat tech, can't wait till it spreads its wings to our hobby.

HA HA, there is some competitive peeps on here. I think if there is extra, why not. No reason for them to go to waste.

As stated before, your pump is water cooled, so I see no reason to go higher volts unless it was over a 15 amp draw.

Acros are at my place in CG, I have been fragging things, all pest free. Im kinda getting my second wind and thinking I may stay in the SPS hobby, but I am still happy to frag stuff at the moment. Ultimatly I want to get some pedatary fish, so who knows. (nutty)

Ya, I'm just charging for the Sulfur, the rest of the thing is free. When I used it it worked exceptionally, I did a big thread here about it, Ultimately I found my issue and was able to take the no3 reactor offline. there is a video on that thread of it running as well. As for the rock I still have it.

Correct on amp loads.... You don't save by going bigger voltage, but you do reduce the breaker size and typically (I say this loosely) you reduce the heat. I deal with some motors that if I purchased in 120v they would be around 100 amp, but by simply going up to 460-480 volt or other I can drastically reduce that amp load in the panel.

As a Rule for sizing electrical motors when I order them for my work (for long life) it has to do with HP (1 hp is aprox 746 watts / or watts divided by volts = A), if its over 1 hp I order it 240v if its under 1 hp then I order it 120v. This is simply to keep the motor running cooler, however fishy pumps are water cooled so, if it was me, just plug the thing into 120v
