Wow! Thanks so much for your input guys!!!! One repeat theme I've noticed in all your postings is time. I've been dosing with Purpleup now for...
Can you explain the algae cycles? Will using RO water instead of tap water help lessen algae cycles? Jason D. :)
LOL good point. Thanks for all the help. One thing, how do stray volts wind up in tanks? Where do they come from?
Okay thanks. That sounds easy enough. And you highly suggest purchasing the probe - it really makes that big a difference? You're right about the...
Do you bury the probe in the substrate?
Oh that's what a ground probe is. I'll have to look into that. As for Alk and magnesium, I do not have any test for that. I'll have to head to my...
My LFS said the high calcium levels might be shocking the anemones. I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not, but the tank temp was in the high 70's....
I'd LOVE some!
Everything in the water checked out fine except the calcium. Turns out, the calcium is sitting at 550. Unfortunately, the purple tipped died today...
Funny you should mention "regurgitating". I jokingly told my fiance that it looks like it's "throwing up" it's insides, because remember, it's...
wow thanks. i wouldn't have thought of those other type of rocks leaking harmful minerals into my water. I will Google those companys now and see...
Hey thanks! I'm going to have those levels checked tomorrow. Something funny is going on in my tank - maybe these levels are the culprit....
There's a problem with my Purple Tipped Condylactis Anemone. For the last few days, it's been shriveled up and not opening or moving at all. It's...
Thank you guys! Question about "dead base rock" - should I use lava rock or toufa rock as base with hopes of it eventually becoming "live"? Is...
Okay - so I don't have to use purpleup and calcium together but what about iodine and S&M. Should I dose with purpleup and iodine and S&M or will...
It does make sense. However, can I overdose on calcium and do harm to the tank? Especially since I'm dosing with both Kent calcium AND PurpleUp?...
Thank you! So this is definitely adequate for promoting coralline algae growth. Jason D.
Hello! I'd really love to add new live rock to my tank but have precious little space to cure it. Last time I added live rock without curing, it...
What exactly are Carbonate Hardness Levels? Where should they be for a marine tank which contains fish, live rock and inverts (no hard corals)? How...
I use Kent Marine iodine, calcium and S&M. I also dose with Reef Snow and now PurpleUp. I add dechlor to ALL of my top off/refill water.
