Thanks for the advice sniper, I'll discontinue using Kalk. Buddy of mine who's a long time reefer told me awhile back to use Kalk in my top off and I just started doing it. I knew it raised alkalinity, but doesn't that usually force calcium to drop? As you can see my calcium is pretty high...

pH was getting low, winter up here in Michigan and Sump is in the basement which was why I started dosing Kalk with my ato. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oh I do dose Kalk 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of top off water Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello fellow reefers. I have a moderately stocked mixed reef tank and just got into testing my parameters more often. I'm understanding the magnesium to calcium ratio of 3-1 but I have some issues with my parameters and need some advice to maintain the healthiest of tanks. Please advise me on...

So I have a 1 year old percula clown fish. She had a mate, he perished. I decided to order another true perc, after acclimation, qt, and acclimation again I decided it was time to introduce him to the DT. Big mistake. He's 1/3 the size of the established clown and she tore into him. Had his...

What lighting set up would you recommend? I do like the LED look to the tank. The current USA's are ok mid range lights. I'm upgrading my sump next, probably a trigger ruby or emerald Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Not sure if my guy here at something or got something stuck but there's something stuck in his face, but not sure if I can get it out of there without pissing him off Anyone know what this is? Xenia coral perhaps?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

God that sounds horrible. Guess I have to wait and see. I don't believe in flushing fish in the toilet so he got a Viking funeral outside in our pit. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I ended up euthanizing him. The hole was pretty big. It's almost like his belly "popped" and this huge hole remained. He was my wife's favorite fish. He's in fish heaven now. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well the bulge has gone down but now he has a hole there and you can see the inside of his belly through it. So he's doomed. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My saddled Toby has had this protruding side of his belly for a few weeks now. I thought it would subside but it has not. He acts ok, went through a lethargic stage for about two days a week ago so I thought we would die. I can't get him out of this tank, it's a 90 gallon corner and he's too...

Hey fellow hobbyists. I recently bought a used 85 gallon corner tank from a guy for $500. It was about $2000 originally so I was super hyped about the purchase. Sometime in its travel (3.5 hours) I managed to scratch the outside front a few times. That or they were there when I picked it up...
