Thanks for the Welcome.
I have nothng to speak of as far as live stock. I have 2 turbo snails, had 5 Hermit crabs now only one, and 5 Astrea snails and a bunch of little bitty white critters crawling all over the glass. You can see them scurry back and forth but you really cannot make out a shape.
Lightng is a Coralife 130Pc Lunar Aqualight.The 20H has no skimmer. I tried a CPR but there were way too many microbubbles being delivered back to the tank. It currently has a Penguin 330 for filtration and 2 MJ1200's with flo-rotators, and about 30lbs of DIY Live Rock. I am about to chunk the DIY rock, It looks good but I cannot get my water parameters to quit bouncing. The calcium is like 760 right now. It has come down from 1000. I thought it was the test until I found someone else on this board with the same problem(2003 post). Alk stays around 100mq/L. Please note I may not be reading this test corrrectly. Hagen GH/KH Test, take 10 drops to turn the water yellow in the test tube, multiply that by 10 and you get 100. Sound right? I do 5gallon water change every Saturday. Using IO for salt.
I have some C Balance but Haven't had to use it yet. Using it would just throw me even farther out of whack.
BTW this 20H is just to get me started in the reef hobby. I have a 100g RR tank and I am DIY'ing my stand and canopy out of Black Walnut . It will have a 55gallon sump. Someone at work had a 55g tank that they no longer wanted, I needed a sump. Bonus. I will be lighting it with 6 T5HO's. Not sure on a skimmer yet maybe an ASM. Will probably go closed loop because I can't stand seeing cords, plumbing etc... in the distplay tank.
Anyway enough rambling. |
