I use a Milwaukee SMS120 PH monitor. I really like it because i can test the PH in my CA reactor and tank very quickly. I leave it turned on with the probe in my refugium. I spent around $85.00 on it.

If you are topping off with cold water, that can cause a parasite outbreak. (I found out the hard way) I have a yellow tang that has been in my tank for over a year now and it started getting "white spots". I added a cleaner wrasse and he did his job. Very inexpensive. I hope you get it worked...

I am not sure where the rock came from origonaly. This rock was give to me by a friend who happens to own a LFS and it was in a coral tank. The Xenia grew there while in my tank. I will probably have to wait a while to see exactly what the bud is. It seems to be doing very well so it will...

What?

It can be caused by a number of things. phophates being one of them. A cleaner crew, frequent small water changes may help, but it wont go away overnight. Remove as much as you can physically if possible. Last resort use Chemi-Clean. Old or brand new lighting is another cause or even something...

Yep! Looks like cyno to me

If he is zipping into his tube he is probably healthy. Another way to feed it would be to turn off any PH that is on and SLOWLY squeeze the turkey baster so that the food falls on him. Of course thats only my opinion...I could be wrong. Good luck

I cant identify this

All excellent advice. I have over 120 lbs of LR and still I have to give my Manderin live brine shrimp. Those Mandrin's are POD EATING MACHINES arent they 8O Good luck, Eddie

Add culerpa in your refugium or sump or even add Xenia

You might as well give the little critters their last rights now. They know that they are doomed. :|

I have had mine for several months. I paid $1.00 each on ebay from Hawaii. You will have to top them occasionally to keep them from growing straight up. They are awesome!

You should have bought a tripod hehe :lol:

Welcome to my nightmare..lol

Does your friend have culerpa in his tank or refugium?

Jonathan, Before I added clams to my tank I did a lot of reading on them. I have found that most people raising clams are using MH. I am assuming that your tank is 24" deep and that would usually require 250w MH. I have heard of people using PC's for clams but end up having to move them higher...

It boils down to- What ever works for you. I've been using CC for years with no problems.

I appreciate the comments. As you can tell this Calcium Reactor is new to me as well. I was using Kalkwasser but it was driving my PH up way too high. After investigation I found that a Reactor would be what I need. Your right PC, I may be following the instructions too closely. Thanks for the...
