Full tank pics here

Hello all.... Long time member here looking to take a break from the hobby. I have a 55 gallon reef tank with everything you can think of (see my info for all the details) I have anything and everything including a ton of test kits, refractometer, the whole nine yards. If you're...

Reef Crystals here. I've used both Instant Ocean and Kent.....and I had cyano issues with both. With RC, I have had none of those issues.

my store won't buy back or give store credit....period. I've tried numerous times to no avail. I have given them livestock before though, because I just couldn't keep it myself for whatever reason. So it could be worse!

I switched from Kent to Reef Crystals and had the same results FWIW

20% every two weeks for me. I've tried to go longer, but my numbers start to skew (especially Calcium as I have lots of Corals). Even doing PWC's every two weeks, I still have to dose Calcium every other week.

You know, looking at the picture--mine look flatter and not as chubby, and whiter too. But it's got to be the same things. Thanks for the help. I am a little worried now about the coral nipping, however

You don't need fancy lighting for chaeto. (although I'm not saying that is your problem) But any old cheap NO bulb works great (in fact better) than higher powered lighting. I first started mine under PC bulbs with lots of wattage. When I switched to a $13 NO light, it actually grew faster...

Well, I'll tell you why mine stopped growing one time.....my light was too old. Once I replaced the bulb, it took off again. I would also heed the above advice, too, however.

Yes, you are correct--the GENERAL rule of fish per gallons DOES NOT include the sump.

I agree with all above--I just thought it would spark some good posts and I was right!

I just came across this today......thoughts? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=16754&inm=1&N=2004+113040+2035

1. I couldn't tell if it was slimy or not, but I would guess no 2. It appeared as if the skin was "coming off" kind of--but when he turned to face me, the "white patch" looked raised, not depressed (if that makes sense) Also, I never saw any blood. 3. Don't know--haven't checked ph in a...
