SRC Member serravorte Posted May 20, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 How often u change water? What brand u using for salt? I have more sps than u but i have never had problems with calcium nor a need to start using back my CR. i change water abt 1.5weeks once... using NSW.. i hate saltmix cos too troublesome... yea had a problem with my CR.. dunno how to use... i just wan to haf a more stable parameters... tt's y i use a cr... then hope the SPS can haf a faster growth rate.. i notice the SPS would actually grow at a faster rate when i actually dose more calcium into the tank.... tt's y i hope a cr installed will enhance the sps growth rate...

Growth seemed to be slower than i like... i'm also going back to dosing and planning to plug in my KR (just bought from bro shootsimon who sadly had to decomm) within these few weeks.

Yes bro, im planning to get a KR now.. trying to understand it's functions... but sad to say, i really dun like the colour of the 10K bulb... im thinking of changing back to 14K already... or reeflux or megachrome... still trying to understand more before buying another bulb....

Some reefers lower yr MH lighting by 1-2 inches...but will cause yr chiller to kick in more often..i think. Magnesium will be complementary in maintaining yr calcium level.
