Yeah Chris said that because if your PH is high and stable it will help keep your Alk stable. I think you have to focus on Alk first ,then PH! If I was in your situation, i would try getting that Alk down to what they are used to. The issue with Acros is they rarely react quickly to stress...

So I have a very crazy story. First time fragging zoas so there was 2 polyps growing on an awkward angle on egg crate. I accidentally dropped the larger head 100% covered superglue on frag plug. Thinking it was dead after few days it's head pops up from the side of its body and eventually...

Oh man, thats a big ALK jump in a short time.. Do you have any acros? acros wont like this but LPS and softies will be fine

You got some tips let me know. For example, does the dosing tube the feeds the Kalk have to be under the water line? Also, lets say I test my alk today and its at 8DKH, in 3 days Alk is 7.5DKH. If my total system volume is 50 gallons what would be a good starting point as far as ML dosing per...

That's crazy bc I got 2 gallons last year maybe under $5 each

I'm gonna get the alk down. Then add some T5 to the QT, I feel the one puck has way too much shadowing and T5 are just better. Plus I want this QT to have exact same lighting as my display. Especially since I am doing an extended QT I've never used Kalk before but going to use it for the first...

This setup is dope to catch anything I don't want

Tried my best to take better pics of the corals in Qt with orange glasses

Alk at 9.3dkh in QT. Losing patients and wont move anything else in QT until Alk is at 8.5dkh. Added 10ml of muratic acid to 15 gallon of saltwater. Alk dropped from 9.8dkh to 7.2dkh. I tested the PH and it's at 7.2. Now have to aerate and wait for PH to get up and then I can make a...

Thanks

Yes sort of. It's the stuff ppl use to acid clean liverock clean. In pools its used to lower ph. It brings down the alk on saltwater so ppl do it.. It can be done safely I just rather not play with chemical bc I read you have to let it aerator for 12-24 hr to bring back up the ph. I just made...

Just made a video of the tank

You think I should put some muratic acid in the 15 gallon new saltwater? I have it in my garage but scared of the thought

Yeah, that like natural seawater and Acros love that stuff, elevated elements work great i think for LPS and softies who are more robust. I became a believe in low alk when a coral i got from Reefco that i tested the bagged water and it was 5.5DKH. Thinking he was going to have a tank crash I...

Yeah I generally keep it the same! I'd go to 6.5-7.5 if fritz mixed that low. - I found Acros are less prone to bleaching or RTN at this levels and can take on very high Phosphates and they seem to color up fine. Surprised when I read ppl saying their corals brown out when phosphates are too...

If all is clean 30 days - mainly for aiptasia. Starting from the left. 1 Pinky the bear (my guess). 2. Bleeding Tree abro. 3. WWC Nuclear grapes, 4. pink lemonade, 5 anacropora. These are just tester frags i have the backups in the main system. Hopefully they color up quickly! I have to...

Short video of my coral QT Few days of playing around with flow but thing I got it down

I can come by next week, if you still have any! I just need a small piece

Im just going to stop by Marks to pick some up for free! :)

Thanks Bob
