The wizard says, "you need more flow".

My warpaint is developing an iridescent green ring. Thought I'd share, apologies in advance for the potato pic.

Do you have a rock with a few small ones on it?

Happy Birthday Mr. B!

I think the first sentence sealed the fate of this sales thread. 

One thing you do not want to do is "drop phosphate to zero". Stable, high phosphate levels are much better than going from 0.1 to zero every time you put in fresh phosgard. You may want to use half as much phosgard and swap it out twice as often. It could be a million other things too, but from your description that's what I would fix first.

I have no affiliation to SCA, I have bought from him in the past and currently run one of their 66g. I am considering their 150g for my next build. I wanted to share, because these are very nice tanks for the price.

Put me on the list. I'd be happy to help out.

Gimme a shout when you are ready, I'm in Albany and would not mind kicking a few frags your way. 

Looks like nerite eggs. I've had them in freshwater and they lay eggs like it's going out of style.

trip out man

I like the printed look. I also think that the lights are an excellent value. You won't find that kind of power for $300 anywhere else.

I agree, Daniel's lights are a a deal and a half. Planning on running ReeFi on my next build.

Maybe your test kits or your testing methods are bad. Have you tried taking a bag of the salt that you think is bad to CNC and have them mix up a small batch and test to rule out the salt?

This is great article on reefscaping I wanted to share.

Too weird, I gotta know. Either something weird with your water or you got a bad batch of salt. Please keep us posted!

I got up to 85.7 on Thursday. It gets super hot in my garage, but my clip on fan kept it from getting too ridiculously hot.

Did you use calibration solution, or did you calibrate to zero using freshwater?

How did you calibrate your refractometer?

Sounds like you might not have enough salt in your mix. What is your specific gravity and what are you using to test it? 

Whoa, that's nice. Gives new meaning to "reef tank".

I got one you can have. Do you need the lid? The one I have has a hole drilled in the lid where the air release was.

Thanks guys!

White or black, closer to Albany the better. Thanks!
