The BOD has decided to postpone the June group buy as everyone is still working on getting the site back up and running at 100%....and there are still a few members who are missing, so we don't want...

    Question for the Vodka Dosers out there...

    The candy cane is looking 100 times better. I moved it to a spot with less flow and now the heads seem to be getting fat again. Maybe it was nothing more than too much flow. I'm gone from my tank until June 13,that makes me nervous, but we shall see what it looks like when I get back.

    IceCap Blue LED Array Retro - 45.2 inch

    I just looked for and found the receipt for thos MH Bulbs. They were shipped to me on 10/9....so I probably got them and installed them in the fixture and were using them by 10/20. I got my new fixture and stopped using yours on 12/21 so the bulbs you have are 8 months old at this point. But...

    IceCap Blue LED Array Retro - 45.2 inch

    I don't remember exactly...I can dig up the receipt though to find out when I bought them...they are probably around 6 months old at this point as I've had my fixture about 6 months. I'm also with Hawk...the actinics won't really fuel algae growth...it's the daylight T5 bulbs and the such that...

    IceCap Blue LED Array Retro - 45.2 inch

    Ok...then IMO...what you want is to replace the Halides with 20K bulbs...they are the most blue you can get in a DE Halide. Then you can always run the actinics all day if you want as well, which will give you a much deeper blue. I know the MH Bulbs in there now are under a year old, but the...

    Brandon's WTH was I thinking 125 gallon madness

    Be careful with that Buffer!! I know a lot of people use them, but I've also heard of a lot of people having problems with them. Getting the test kits is perfect!! PH has a lot to do with your ALK levels!! Keep up the good work!! Post some new pictures too!!

    Question for the Vodka Dosers out there...

    Tanks a 180 with about 30-40 in the sump. I calculated 145 Net Gallons, which is what I dosed at. I'm at 15mL and I think my Nitrates have started to drop!! They used to be around 50....last night 25!! So I'm planning on staying with 15 until I hit 0, then starting to scale back to find my...

    My readings as of last night are: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 25 PH - 8.3 Alk - 9.0 Mag - 1140 Calcium - 350 Phosphate - .03 I dosed extra Calcium and Magnasium so those numbers are probably higher now since they were last night. I was trying to stay away from the MB7, but I may add...

    Question for the Vodka Dosers out there...

    I've been dosing my tank for quite some time now. I have not yet made it to my maintenance dose, but I am now dosing at 15mL a day. Over the past couple months my once gorgeous Ora Green Birdsnest's have been slowly dying. And now my once gorgeous bright green Candy Cane coral has it's tissues...
