  1. You can use Epsom Salts to dose Magnesium. You can buy a big bag at the drugstore for a reasonable price. (I paid $5 for 6 lbs. worth which will last me quite awhile as I only need to dose a little once a month or so) Use a reef chemical calculator to figure out how much you need. Be sure to dose over 2 or 3 days rather than all at once.

     

    I know your not supposed to add over 15-20 ppm a day. I just went and bought B-ionc to bring my levels back up. Never used Epson before. Whats the break down when you dilute it? I know that it's 1.5 ml per gallon with B-ionc so in a 100 gallon tank I use a lot to bring the levels back up!

  2. So I was talking with Impur the other day and it got me curious about the magnesium levels in my tank. I have never tested for it before, but I noticed that some of my acans weren't happy. So I went out and bought a test kit and low and behold my levels were really low! I was wondering what keeps levels up in tanks naturally, or is this something that you would have to dose?(scratch)

  3. Thanks Jay,

     

    This is exactly what I need. My kids won't tolerate the RBTA leaving... I confess, neither will I. I just need to get more stuff growing over there. Anyone have any experience with Zoas near a RBTA?

     

     

     

    I know when my LTA was around zoas that they wouldn't open!

  4. .lol im actually going to stain it black' date=' since thats the color thats predominant in the room, and the way we're setting that corner up, well, you'll have to wait and see how it all turns out, but, if it looks half as good once its done as it does in our heads, well, its gonna be tight and psychedelic as hell lol[/quote']

     

    Yours is going to be zoa only right? Like little eyes always watching you. lol

  5. I hadn't either until I read a similar question here from someone else. Then a few weeks later mine did it after moving the rock it was in between tanks. I think it's a defensive measure but I'm not sure.

     

    Huh. Crazy.

  6. I like the look of it a lot better without the posts. I think Northwest Coral Farms had a good idea with the bamboo though. lol How dark are you going to stain the skin? I think that you'll be alright without the other holes being that it's only a 30 gallon. I also like the idea of a lip in case any leaks happen. I was just in bed thinking about the stand I want to build for a 55 gallon frag tank I want to put up. So all the build threads help a lot! Note to self don't use posts! lol

  7. Do you have a PAR Meter or access to one-I think that is the true measure' date=' my eyes are unique to me-(laugh)[/quote']

     

    I wish I did! So if anyone has one let me know and I can truly measure the difference. How I think it will go is that at the beginning both bulbs will be very closely matched up, but I think in the long run the Phoenix will last longer. I could be completely off on this.

  8. I just wanted to let everyone know that I got some new frags from Miles last night. When I got them home and got them in the tank I was excited to see the size of the frags I got plus a free frag! I ended up with 5 new types of monti in my tank and love every one! Plus it's always fun to go to his house a stare at his tank! He has one of the most impressive collections of acans I have seen in a long time plus everything is thriving in his tanks. Again thanks impur for helping me bring my tank back up to the level it once was.(clap)(clap)
