I believe you're getting my story and someone elses story jumbled up a bit. I was stung by one nearly 20 years ago, and yes the sting can be quite painful and irritation can continue for weeks and...

Why are you so resistant to tell us if you test magnesium or not? I think you've been asked 3 or 4 times now...:lol: Anyhow, if you need some Peladow let me know, you can come get some from me while...

Depending on how old your Salifert kit was I'd be more likely to trust the old one over the new one. I'd suggest to anyone using a Salifert KH kit to pick up an API kit or similar kit. It's so much...

Huh, I hadn't heard of a Salifert kit reading low. At least mine and the majority of kits were reading 2-3 dKH on the high side. I also think maintaining a dKH of 12 is better than 9 and I see no...

My tank is in the basement and the air temp is usually around 65 in the fish room. I maintain the tank at 81-83 with 2x250w heaters for about 130 gallons of water volume. My thermostat is usually set...

Not sure where you're getting your data from but it should take 1 full teaspoon to raise calcium 10 ppm in 50 gallons. I use Peladow, which is the same dosage as Turbo Calcium and if I was wrong my...

If my math is correct your dKH is almost 17 which is probably causing your calcium to precipitate out. Do some water changes to bring down your KH levels to closer to 200ppm and then adjust your...

I wouldn't suggest it... The beneficial nutritional value for most marine organisms could be low. For one, marine lipids are going to be quite different from those from a cow. Simply put, most marine...

As others have pointed out, that SPS was most likely not very healthy when you purchased it since it appears the base has been dead for a while. Combine that with some stress and/or less than ideal...

They will often lose their legs due to stress. Blue Linkias have a miserable survival rate in captivity so it's most likely just on it's way out. I suggest you do you best to loacte it since one...

Skip the Current unit and get something with individual reflectors (ATI, SLS, Aquatinics). Anywhere between 12 and 16 48" bulbs should be good. Your best bet is probably to build a canopy and get...

Not sure what you mean by strong, but 6K is a pretty good daylight spectrum for plant growth. I had been using a 4700k prior to finding these.

29 would be perfect if you want to go with a stock aga size. The extra inches of height over a 20l are nice to have IMO.
