Doing about 2 tsp of all three a week. Sometime a little less.

I switched salts some 150 gallons ago. I went from MEI Crystal Sea to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals.

I am to no avail. I switched salts (what I thought was the culprit). Its still just as high as it was back in march.

The high ALK and pH have been the only constant in the tank. When I first got a hammer and it died in a 3 day span, I did a bunch of tests to see what did it (HUGE Nitrate Spike(changed sump, stired a bunch of stuff up)) thats when I relized how high it was. The only suggestion I got about how...

pH-8.8 Alk-18 (test is accurate as it's been confirmed by 3 different test kits) Nitrate-0 Nitrite-0 Ammonia-0 Cal-500 (might have overdosed last time I added some) Sal-1.026 Phos-0

What might cause these 2 to start bleaching? I've had them for some time now (green slimer begining of april, birds nest mid april) and everything has been looking fine until this last water change I noticed the undersides are looking bleached and they are loosing thier color/browning out...

I had a 135 that wasn't level that ran for years. It was more the floor wasn't level rather than the tank.

Still available

Do you only have grass shrimp or do you have a mix of grass and sand shrimp?

I also have amphipods in my tank and they are a good cleanup crew. Population right now is like roches. If you shine a flashlight in my tank right now its like tuning a light on in a kitchen in a roch infested house. I also have the shrimp, and snails. About 2 years ago a had a huge shrimp...

I did the rubberband method. I don't know if your are just doing this to make a small frag but you can also cut the whole top off the stalk and mount that and the stalk will grow a new head.

If I had Higher end corals I would probably care more, plus most of the stuff I caught is rinsed in clean water then rinsed in FW then dumped into the tank. Also most of this stuff is food for my eel. ;)

Its more to try and get it to branch than have a frag.

Whats the smallest I can go? I don't want to cut to much as I want it to get big.

So if I cut the tip of say my green slimer stick(zero branches) it might help branch it out?

My question is, Is it better for the tank and corals health if you frag? I'm not at that point yet, but when I am, could I just let things go or will fragging help corals fill out(like trimming a bush) and be healthier and stronger overall? Josh

Went out last saturday and just scooped a couple of times. Caught some stuff but nothing crazy. Would have done more but the biting flies were crazy and I had my 3 yr old so I couldn't stay in the marshy bays. I mainly caught grass shrimp and sand shrimp.

I'm going to pick up the restrictor from jgraz and then I'll give you's a call to make sure its all hooked up right.

Just filled with water and cleaned alittle better. also 1/2 inch glass.
