  1. Hey Bro, Please PM me where you bought the AI SOL and how much you paid. Do you find the coverage enough for 3ft? Thanks
  2. I think the ADA 60F is about 7" deep. Very shallow
  3. Hey bros I've decided to build out a frag tank. Do you have suggestions where I could a decent shallow 24-30" tank? Something similar to an ADA-60F would be good. (Without the high cost) Any recommendations in the East would be much appreciated! In case I decide to add an overflow later, I would prefer a pre-drilled tank but if the cost difference is significant, then I will probably skip that for now. Prebuilt would also be preferred. Thanks
  4. Hey bro I believe that the kits are fine. My chemicals were mislabeled. Since I started dosing the correct chemical two days ago, my calcium has gone up to 380. Thanks
  5. Hey bro My problem was not the amount of dosing. The CA bag had been marked MG and the MG bag was marked CA. So, I was dosing MG when I wanted to be dosing CA.
  6. Well, I just tried adding a solution from the bag marked "MG" to some sample tank water. I tested the calcium before and after. The calcium went up significantly and so it's confirmed that the bag marked "MG" is in fact calcium. Thanks for your help everyone.
  7. Thanks bros Does this look like calcium?
  8. Hey bros, I've been dosing alk, calc, and mg per Randy's two part method (recipe 1). For some reason, the calcium I bought from Iwarna is not raising my calcium levels as expected. Does anyone know the purity of the calcium or had similar issues? I'm mixing it at 500g per 1 gallon of water. Maybe my calcium could have been mislabeled? Does anyone have a photo of the flakes? Here is my what I have: My MG and Alk are both fine: 1470 / 10.2 kdh, but calcium remains at 320 despite lots of dosing. Thanks
  9. It's quiet this weekend. Any small copperband butterflies and mystery wrasses spotted?
  10. Thanks for the heads up! I just gave it a good dose of kalk.
  11. Hey bros This came along with some zoas that I bought. It looks like a bubble tip anemone. Any ideas? Thanks!
  12. Please let me know if you spot some brittle / serpent stars in your journeys this weekend. I would prefer to not head out to CF if possible. Thanks
  13. Has anyone seen any good serpent star or brittle stars in their LFS journeys?
  14. Thank you! I hope mine doesn't grow to 1M!
  15. Hey bro. Where did you get the fish trap?
  16. Hi Can you please help me ID this anemone? Thanks!
  17. Most experts really encourage it. However, they say that it is quite important to also have good dynamic flow with a decent quality skimmer to minimize detritus. I also bought some sand snails to help aerate the top part of the sand bed. That being said, you aren't supposed to disturb it too much and if you need to move the sand or switch tanks, you are supposed to clean most of it and start over. If I had the space & money, I would have the DSB in a refugium. This would probably be your best bet if you are setting up a large system.
  18. Hey bros, Please help me ID this macro algae. Thanks!
