I have never heard anything bad about Oceanic salt though. I actually dont even make my own saltwater. I buy Catalina water or occasionally i'll buy premixed RO/DI saltwater. Jesse

Someone around here just had this same problem... i just cant remember how they resolved it. I would imagine you could bend up a net to capture him or worst case drain the chamber and remove him that way. HTH, and hope someone else can quickly repsond. Jessse BTW... :welcome to...

There are no "results" as of yet with this study, just the observational data. However, the only thing i can contribute is that i have heard the oceanic has low alk and high ca. I am gonna wait for his final data to come out. Jesse

I thought I would share this as I think it can be very beneficial to those of you who mix your own saltwater. Eric too several of the most popular brands of salt and set of a series of tanks to test them... all the details are in this snippit... Long and short of it is that at this point we...

Welcome to nanotank.com, Hermeez! :welcome Jesse

Actually, having high KH and high Ca at the same time is not really possible. One would be high, the other would be low. Check out this slice of an article written by Anthony Calfo... "Ironically, within the recommended ranges of 350 and 450 ppm Ca (calcium) and 8-12 dKH Alk (alkalinity) it...

You could set it up now. Jesse

looks real nice mike. good work. Jesse

I may be interested Steve. I am just a little concerned that he may pick on my clown or watchman. It says on that link that you posted that "Although diminutive, it may behave aggressively toward smaller, peaceful species." How big is yours? Maybe I can swing by and check him out. BTW...

I really like your tank. What lamp are you running? Jesse

I wouldnt turn the skimmer off... maybe the powerheads though. Jesse

That is DEFINITELY not aiptasia. That looks that a skeleton of some sort of LPS... it honestly looks like a torch coral on it's very last "breathe". Jesse

Those are pretty good skimmers. Let us know how you like it after it has had time to break in. Jesse

Cant wait! Jesse

That is pretty sweet! It's a nice look and an easy way to add the MH! Great work! Have you fired it up yet? Jesse

If you want higher wattage bulbs, you'll need a bigger ballast. The lamps that you have are not high output. I'm assuning your lamp is around 24".... if you get a high output, or HO, ballast, you can run HO bulbs. This will allow you to get 24 watts out of the same length HO bulbs. If...

Just a reminder, the next chat is coming up in a little over 2 weeks! Hope to see you all there! Jesse

Same here. Nothing special. If he comes out when I am feeding, I will give him a flake or two... or three. He will readily and almopst aggressivly feed from your hand. Jesse

The tropic marin pro-reef is probably one of the best. Others would include SeaChem Reefsalt, Instant ocean Reef Crystals... etc. Most brands have a "reef" version. These are helpful because they generally have higher Ca, Mg, and strontium levels and they usually buffer to a higher pH level...
