Update:
I ended up getting a box in the mail. I opened it up and it was Instant Ocean purple bucket and not Reef Crystals orange bucket. I was kind of confused at first and didn't know how to take it. Lol
I sent them the receipt and it even showed REEF CRYSTALS so why did I receive the...
Wow.. glad you caught it. You most likely know, but just in case be careful and keep checking your salinity While dosing . Magnesium is usually a mix of 2 kinds. magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate. I had to dose a gallon and a half over the course of 2 weeks. To Finally get the mag. Up...
Nope. Not at all. I have given a detailed response to all of there questions. Lots of details on how the salt bucket was rolled around, shaken, turned upside down to make sure there was consistency throughout the mix and no clumps etc. even down to the temp and how many days it was mixed with...
Sorry Eric, I ended up dumping the 55 gallons I had mixed in the bin and threw out the rest of the salt. I didn't want to risk other things being off or over dosed in the mix. I was told by the company they would send me another bucket and they would send my findings to quality control.
Oh wow! I'm glad you figured it out! I usually check the salinity multiple times, then test my 2 other tanks to make sure the batch matches and is good. I also use fresh water afterwards to make sure it reads zero...But, you make a valid point and with the week I had ... I might look into it. I...
I bought a 160 gallon bucket of Reef Crystals from Chewy in July. The lot number is 23346.
I always roll the bucket, shake it, turn it upsidedown etc. to make sure there is no settling during shipping, open it up and check for clumping and discoloration etc. mix it in a 55 gallon bin of RODI...
I actually went last year. It was a great turnout and I bought a bunch of goodies! Thanks for the info. I'm gonna talk to the wife and try to make it up there again this year!
Update:
I had to frag remaining pieces into smaller frags. I thought I cut into healthy tissue above the damaged tissue but I guess not high enough. It started traveling up some of the frags. I was hoping for the largest frag to recover but this morning when I checked on it I saw it that it...
Thanks.
I made about 7 frags this morning. Around 9:30 am By 3:30 in the afternoon 3 turned completely white with a mucus on them. I removed them right away. I don't want any of the mucus on the frags to get into the water column. The rest still had good color so I hope they pull through.
Thanks for the reply.
I have a 7 stage RO unit with 2 - 1 micron carbon blocks in it. They are suppose to remove chlorimine. And they are only 5 months old. I have 2 inline TDS meters one before the membrane and after, the next is before the Duel Di resin chambers and after. The last one...
I Definitely would try to syphon some out during a water change. Maybe only do sections at a time. Just in case you release too much into the water column at once and cause other issues down the road. After you syphon a bunch out and do your water change wait an hour and test nitrates and...
Hello everyone,
I had a perfectly healthy looking PC rainbow colony I have been growing out now for over a year. I have had an anemone next to it this whole time. Yes there were some markings on the side of the rainbow which showed the anemone was brushing up against it but nothing that I...
It was a pic of the tidal gardens Blue German digi. When it gets bigger is when you really see the color. I just wanted to show what the little frag can be. It's poking out behind the bubblegum digi.
