Hi. dosing Kalkwasser,reef builder & magnesium on a regular basis does help me to get good coralline algae which IMO makes the rocks more attractive

bassman57 · #11 07/04/2005, 11:51 AM

what kind of lights do you have on it??

bassman57 · #12 07/04/2005, 11:52 AM

also, it's very nice looking so far

Beaus28 · #13 07/04/2005, 02:07 PM

i have just the standard light that came with the tank but im planning on buying a power compact very soon

bassman57 · #14 07/04/2005, 02:13 PM

Also, What brand tank is that and where did you get it, and if you don't mind saying, how much did you pay for it. I wan't to set up somthig JUST like that with some clowns and a BTA.

Beaus28 · #15 07/04/2005, 03:30 PM

Beaus28 · #20 07/05/2005, 05:22 PM

Kalk is great - just don't overdo it in a small tank otherwise you will shoot your PH through the roof!!

Beaus28 · #23 07/06/2005, 12:46 PM

yea ive heard stories bout the kalkwasser

ghostbear29 · #24 07/07/2005, 04:32 AM

gotta love petsmart. Your topfin is actually a AGA licensed to sell out of Petsmart brand. Same Thing, same diff. I have the 16 gal. bowfront. I like it alot. definately get a new light, the stock one sucks.
