This is the only reason you aren't being voted by me Zaffy. Look at the avatar though, you even did the analysis. Multiple heads, running mean stinky... geez I vote to lynch John. If he's not a bad guy, then I'm clueless. I do agree that Wycco is playing very differently.

Yes, there is a titration kit for calcium. It's a lot like the hardness kit. Each drop is 50ppm of calcium (usually). As far as the salinity. I lose about a quart a day to evap and, as far as I can tell, the salinity does not change within that range. I also have a bit of salt creep (water...

I'm really interested in the genetics of that thing. The body is pure frog, but the head looks more like a salamander or skink.

Huh? John is the one being quoted here DD. John said that Ice was interested in Luv so John voted for Luv. After a few posts John said, "We also let him lead the charge on lynching all sorts of innocents." (in regards to Ice). So John believes that Ice leads the charge on lynching a lot of...

Check the hardness (kH)... that should be 10-12. If it's low, then that's why the pH is low (probably) and you might want to add a buffer solution to the RO water that you're using for top-off.

I want a macro lens... The top critters... barnacles?

I have no idea. I really don't know much about halides.

Corals pretty much are the reef. And yes a metal halide will do just about anything. Two things though, 1) you'll get more evaporation because metal halides get HOT, 2) check the bulb, lamps are only good for about six months and the quality and quantity of light falls off rapidly near the end...

Everything in salt should be done slowly... The corals will get used to the lower salt levels. I believe (though I haven't seen any studies) that reef salt mixtures contain other things that corals need (like strontium, magnesium, etc.)

BY your own admission, Ice leads in lynching all sorts of innocents, yet you follow his 'advice/thoughts' onto Luv... interesting... I retract my vote for Zaffy and vote to lynch John.

That's the fun of saltwater! Everyday is a new discovery. You will be amazed at what appears in your tank even after a month.

John, this makes no sense even for you. Ice is one of the best players. If he's not mafia, then any mafia player with any sense wants him gone ASAP. Now let's consider something here. There was no effort to save RB by the mafia. I think that this could easily have been a planned death by...

g/o kids these days... it's hard to remember that I was 14 when ST:TNG came out and that was 22 years ago. sigh g/o I don't care, he still stinks. He's been running for days.

This isn't a sure thing plan and I'm not going to build it tomorrow. The thought is that I have a smaller tank (8 gallons or so) with a filter (with LR rubble), a heater, small PH w/ sponge and a big thing of cheato. The display tank and the new tank are connected via pumps (connected to a...

Cats are not stinky (like my avatar) however puppy dogs and guys running from rocks are stinky. For that reason, I vote to lynch Zaffy Wycco is next favorite target (at least until he tells us what his 'info' was on Ice). John and Annie are a distant 3 and 4 for the only reason that they are...

Working on that... We're actually thinking a sump tank with a separate filter that we can disconnect from the main tank when a QT or hospital tank is needed.

Most SW fish are upwards of $25 dollars (even common clowns around here go for $30+). RO is safer, no bad nutrients, no messed up chemistry, etc. At $0.25 per gallon, get RO and keep the fish happy. Like I said, I have a 44g tank and I spend $1.25 every 3-4 weeks in water (One five gallon jug).

If you want reef, the 1.025 (ask for reef salt when you get the water). FO or FOWLR you're in good shape.

Ugh, bad nes. The clowns had brookynella and died. Now the tank can't have fish for at a minimum two more weeks... I'll probably keep it fallow for at least 4 more.

I have a gallon of distilled water, for just such an emergency.
