I'm using the api test kit. Maybe I read the directions wrong. I'll do over and see if its any better.

So my Kh is crazy high. 350+ppm how do I lower it? I've been doing water changes to lower the nitrates(now under 20ppm) so I dont think that will work because its still so high. Is it something that might come down on its own over time or do I have to add something?

Drop bows on em. ;)

Thanks, I'll let you know when its all good again. I'm pretty sure its a nitrate spike, but I cant figure out why unless its from changing over my sump, thats when I started getting algea growth. Its actually gone up since the first water change. I have barely fed the tank. It did come down...

I will start checking that. But wouldn't my duncan and acans also be affected or not so much? My duncan I got with 2 heads only 3-4 weeks ago and now has 5 heads, and the acans(got same time as duncan) all look good and I even have a small eye growing on one of them. Also is Alk the only...

What happens at the end of the road when no one needs it and the LFS wont give credit? Does it just starve at that point or is it the original purchasers obligation to house and feed it? Also what if you borrow it and the person that loaned it is no longer intrested in getting it back? Is...

Got this Hammer Friday and everything was great for about 2 days. Now its all closed up. The only thing thats a little up is my nitrates were around 15-20 ppm. (changed the sump and accidentally stirred up some stoff) but now are dropping.(water change, cut food back) heres some pics of its...

Thanks for everyones input. I'll also be sure to drop your name mnat if I make it to AO. ;)

Not to sound like a newb but whats "PAR"? Is it a calculation or ratio or ect?

So what I'm gathering is the north is like the Jersey Shore :p and CoralLife Bulbs are no good? Now are they atleast good for now as I just put $120 out on all these bulbs. Also, why throw in just one purple in the mix? Also Changed Location. ;)

I just got coral life t5ho bulbs. Thats all they had at my lfs(brandwise) for the size and watts I needed.

I just upgraded my lighting from being at a 1.5 watts per gallon to 2.5 watts per gallon. I'm just wondering if this will cause problems for any of my corals expecially my LPS as I just started getting into them. What I'm conserned about is my plate, duncan, and acans. They are either on the...

I ended up using an exacto knife and scraped it off. Hopefully thats the only one and it doesn't come back.

yup

Have a GBTA that I've had for a year or so that decided to detach from the rock its been on since the first week I got it to just rolling around in the sandbed on the other side of the tank. Its slowly coming back but will take some time. Just seeing if anyone has the time to put into bringing...

Found a Manjano next to my anthelia. Is it going to kill it and how do I get it off without killing the coral. I would normally just squirt it with boiling water if it wasn't near anything. Is there a way I can get it to move or do i have to just try and dig it out and do my best to not kill the...

Northern Pipe Fish. Had it for about 2 months. Was brought to me when a friend caught it with some seaweed when he was fishing. Want it to go to someone who has a Seahorse/Pipefish tank already established and has experiance with them. I would keep it but do not have the housing it will need in...
