Conskis 34 Gal Solana Build

[Ace25]

Rowaphos doesn't lower pH, it lowers Alkalinity, which in dumbed down terms is the ability to buffer the pH. From what I have read it doesn't lower it to dangerous levels if used correctly, but it does drop it a point or 2 when first changed out, which in the SPS world can be a pretty drastic swing meaning you have to take action accordingly.

man i just went back to page eight when the tank was just starting up and looked really great.. i wish this dino crap never happened. i havent had any motivation for this tank in the longest time, i think seeing those old pictures has put a little spark back into me. i need to quit being lazy and get back on top of this tank

Final Rockscape for now!

Cloudiness is up! i finally found a nice little rockscape for what i had! i dont think ill be seeing any cycle and if i dont by friday im just gonna do the transfer.. the dinos in my 14gal are scaring me so i need to get this show on the road.. might be against better judgment but its a MUST at this point.

i need to know these things for sure.
Will a revive bath on all the corals for SURE kill any dino on the corals? if any gets into my solana.. i will back out of this hobby.
Will the corals be able to acclimate to 250 watt MH's or is there something i should do?!
Will the Star fish, fighting conch, Skunk shrimp from the rubbermaid bring any dinos into the tank with them?

Pics!

I don't see the shrimp or starfish bringing anything with them, the conch i guess you could probably scrub off his shell.

[Conski]
