  1. Those numbers seem almost impossible without dosing. I've had bad luck with API test kits. Salifert or Red Sea are much better. What's your salinity? What salt mix are you using? In any case, try taking a cup of your tank water and add an airstone to it bubbling it very vigorously for 30 minutes. If the pH goes up, then you probably have insufficient flow / aeration in your tank which is resulting an excess build up of CO2 and depressing your pH. That would be my guess assuming that the tests are giving you the correct readings.
  2. It's doubtful that it has anything to do with chaeto. If fact, lighting chaeto 24x7 should raise you ph. You need to provide a lot more detail. Tank size? Are you dosing? If so, what are you adding and how? What test kits are using? Have you verified the numbers using another test kit? Are you running a CA reactor? What type of flow do you have? Etc. If your tank chemistry is messed up and you don't understand why, the safest thing to do is stop dosing and do water changes.
  3. There's a photo on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Kellvindennis
  4. Hey bros. Anyone see any blue throat triggers in the East? TGIF
  5. Thanks bro. I have a bottle. It is one of those that works but just not as well as BSI. Maybe I just don't use a big enough blob. In that video, they are using a lot of glue compared to how much I typically use. Does anyone know why people they recommend putting it in the fridge? Is it so it lasts longer or so that it is less viscous?
  6. I've tried at least 10 types of Cyanoacrylate (super glue) and from my experience bsi is the best. I would like to find a less expensive alternative but every time I try something else I regret it in the end.
  7. Thanks bro. Most of my frags are from Cedric and other local reefers
  8. I'm dosing 2 part using the Bubble Magus doser. I'm at about 130ml per day of bulk chemicals using Randy's two part recipe. However, usage seems to be increasing now that the tank is stabilising.
  9. I'm using a EOS 550D. The shots on June 8th were under moonlights and so the shutter speeds were slow and ISO was very high. Are there any other shots that are blurry? I should be using a tripod and turning off the pumps but I get a bit lazy....
  10. New FTS plus a couple of close ups The undisputed boss of the tank: purple
  11. Did you try mad petz? http://www.madpetz.com.sg/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=107
  12. Thanks bros. Here are a couple of photos by the moonlights.... The first one is a rainbow chalice I just got from a fellow reefer today. Very nice color under the violet LEDs
  13. Sailfin - Sold and collected. Thanks Remaining: Algae Blenny & Longnose Hawk
  14. I'm breaking up the gang. Yellow Hog - Reserved Sailfin $10 Longnose Hawk $5 Algae Blenny $5
