So yesterday I posted something about checking water parameters, you can read it here: viewtopic.php?t=121327 There were 2 things I did not check, PO4 and salinity. I'm not too concerned about po4 but salinity was 1.016. I checked this today because my Anthelia is looking bad, and this is a...

So normally I don't check my water parameters unless I see a coral or two looking bad. Well, that day came and my Aussie wall hammer, branching hammer, frogspawn, and a torch isn't looking great. I checked everything and the top 3 are way low: Alk= 6.34 dkh Ca= 270ppm Mg= 920ppm I dose alk and...

I have 2 large Srbta, fully open about 10" across and yesterday, one decided to move from the front top rock to directly underneath same rock. Had it about a year now, split 4 times, now hidden. Any ideas why? Before and After pictures below. alt=""> alt=""> ~Matt

Still need to upgrade my firmware first but at least I'm one step closer to control my AI Hydras via Apex. alt=""> ~Matt

I just upgraded my BRS 75gpd to the 150gpd to reduce the waste water however I still get a steady stream into my waste water barrels. I am having to empty them daily. Filters were changed b4 summer and tds meter reads 0. The rodi is being used for my ato directly. Would this cause it to...

Finally tore down my 55g freshwater just so I can upgrade. Got this 105g rimless tank. I built the stand. Transferred most coral from my 75g to this tank. Will be posting 75g with stand and leds for sell soon. Here's a quick pic. Oh yeah, installed Hydra lights last night...LOVE them!!! ~Matt

Just upgraded to a 105g. Using a mag 7, it has 2 drains with 2 returns. Right now, only using 1 drain. It has the overflow kits installed which are adjustable. See pic. uploadfromtaptalk1377311017970.jpg The water just started to fluctuate in the overflow causing flushing noise. It appears that...

I'm on my second lifter pump. Occasionally, I will run saltwater through my ato to bring salinity back up but shortly afterwards, it will not function properly. When I clean the sensor, it will start to drip versus a constant stream. I taken apart the first pump to see if I can clean the...

Other than the GSP, what are these polyps? Someone told me they were texas trash but I already had them and they don't look like this. Please help. ~Matt

This is a green torch that I recently moved from my nano to my 75g. What's coming from the center? ~Matt

Well, I have a tank build in the larger section but I failed to keep that updated so I am trying this one. My son and I decided to buy this 12 gallon nano from another member so my son can learn this hobby better. While he is out of the country for a few more weeks, I want to build another stand...

Well, sitting in class now in Irving and just received an email stating that my water sensor was triggered and my return pump is now off. I bet it was those stupid elephant snails in the overflow because before I left the house, I removed two of them from there this morning. ~Matt

Okay, so I bought the ALD (Leak detector) module for my apex (full version) and it required the firmware to be updated. Sounds easy but having issues now. I am running a normal PC laptop on a wireless home network. My apex is connected via a wireless bridge. Per the Apex firmware guide, it...

What size (thickness) acrylic do I need that will not warp under led lights? Pic of current lid. uploadfromtaptalk1367854119333.jpg It's about 1/8" thick. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2

My bta split some time ago and to this day, I still unable to find a mouth. I feed them both krill at least once a week but the non-mouth spits it out. It baths in the light beautiful, extends its tentacles, but doesn't eat. Question: will it grow a mouth? Couple of pics: side and top view...

Looks like the red cyano bacteria made it to the DT again, joy. Since I just started dosing ca & alk, should I stop dosing them while using chemi clean or keep it running? Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2

I noticed my bta not sunbathing in the light today for the first time. Why would this be? Before pic: uploadfromtaptalk1360349007103.jpg After pic: uploadfromtaptalk1360349051786.jpg Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I just calibrated my pH probe for the first time. It is the one that came with my Apex system. I used the calibration packets by Milwaukee (high 10.01 & low 7.01). I followed the directions within the apex dashboard and manual but the apex is reading 10.0. This opt me to retest the water using...

I've seen a couple of these before recently but now it got bigger. I thought its a naked snail (without the shell) but now having second thoughts. It's flat, black and only comes out at night. uploadfromtaptalk1359789066230.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1359789086708.jpg Sent from my SGH-T889 using...

I followed the instructions to the T but I am constantly adjusting and emptying the skimmer cup every 30-60 seconds. What am I doing wrong or am I going to have to sit here for the next 48 hours? Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
