  1. Bump for a nice setup. Btw shaun, that's a great tank you have!

  3. Here is his water change: Tridacna maxima (Maxima Clam) Tridacna crocea (Crocea Clam) Tridacna squamosa (Squamosa Clam) With 10% weekly wc the sps colonies would have been twice as big in size
  4. Nice ones you have there
  5. I have the perfect 180 for sale.... they will be a great match Great light. I ran the 4ft for a couple of years and I loved it
  6. No problem Roy. Get a smaller bulkhead or ditch the cl for another mp40
  7. I spent a lot of time chasing the perfect ph and it never was as I wanted or as "the pros" were suggesting. Then the ph on my tank went up to where I like it. It is now pretty much stable at 8.5. It goes slightly down during the night, but not much, say to 8.3 or so. To be honest I didn't know how I did it at first. I then realized that a lot of little upgrades to the system design and management, on top of some well established rocks made the difference. Most of all, you need to provide the room where your tank sits with fresh air from outside. Then you need a way to mechanically mix oxygen and water of your tank: skimmer intake, surface skimming, sump turnover and so on. Or you can just stir the water with a stick if you have the time and patience Then you need to keep your water clean and well balanced (chemically). The chemical balance ca be obtained in various ways, the most popular nowadays being one of the following or a mix of them: ca reactors, limewater, dosing chemicals in a liquid solution, more frequent changes with buffered water. This is the point: the way you chose to keep the chemical balance will affect your ph. All of the above solutions comes with a trick to correct the ph fluctuation that they introduce. You just need to know which one to use and how and it will work wonders. Keep in mind that on top of that the Water change should always provide a solution that is buffered in order to match your ph goal. Always check your test (compare with a friend) or calibrate your probes (at least monthly). I hope this helps
