paramaters

Hi guys! I have had a fluval Evo for nearly a year. My plan was Xenia hell, because who doesn't love a tank with Xenia on every surface and a couple clowns to play in it? Apparently this tank had other ideas. If it is soft, it dies. Soft corals, mushroom coral, xenia, zoas, seahares...

Hello all! I currently have a 60 gallon reed tank that has been having some problems. I run 2 AI prime lights in my tank and seem to notice a couple things. My acans have not seemed to do very well where the light hits em, however they are encrusted to the actual rock. Also, many of my corals...

How/why would my nitrate swing so much throughout the day? And how to correct it? 100 gallon tank, 4 months old, transfer from 2 year old 40 gallon, mostly softy and LPS, few SPS. I attached pictures of the readings. But at times, I have tested NO3 in the course of a day and it can swing from...

My tank has been cycled for over a month. I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt. These are the current parameters. 9.2 dKH 1320-1350 Mg 420 Ca 0.06 phosphate 0.40 nitrate I used Hanna checkers for alk, phos, and nitrate. Mg and Ca are salifert I am going to have macro algae’s and corals in a mixed reef.

Hi All, I am relatively new to reefing but learning a very steep learning curve which has been great fun, now my water parameters are very stable and i am now in a position where i can see my coral nutrient demand, i am looking to 'fine-tune' my dosing. So the past two weeks i have been dosing...

Ive posted here before and Im sorry if im taking too much of your time guys but youve been really helpful. Brief background behind the question is that my bachelor thesis is about designing a smart aquarium. **Some more elaboration on the question:** It doesnt really make sense to have 20...

So I am starting a 20g reef tank as soon as my cycle finishes. I am planning on the following stocking: - 1 ocellaris clownfish - 1 cardinalfish or royal gramma - 1 small blenny or goby maybe paired with a shrimp - 1 small wrasse if i can find one (pink-streaked or possum, or perhaps even a...

Hey Guys, I’ve been cycling my tank for about 2-3 weeks now and I did my first water test without the help of my LFS today. My results were: Salinity: 1.024 Temp: 25 Degrees Celsius dKH: 7 dKH pH: 8.6 Ammonia: 0 - 0.1 Nitrite: About 0.5 Nitrate: Between 10 & 20 What are your thoughts on where...

Hello! We just checked the parameters on our tank and the alkalinity is extremely high! The DKH is at 14 While looking online, my boyfriend and I seen that you can dose vinegar into your tank to lower your alk? Is this a good idea? If so, how much do I add? Pls help :) I’m still trying to...

I recently bought a reservoir and a Tunze ATO and am wanting to try using Kalk. but I don't want to mix it in the reservoir. I ordered the Two Little Fishes Kalk. Reactor 300 from BRS and now am second guessing if this one will work for a tank as small as mine. I know they can get expensive and...

Hello!! I would like share some pictures about my corals that are dying and my parameters in order to get feedback about it and if you have recommendations to save it. I stat to see this condition since 2 weeks ago. things that i changed 1.-increase the light because i was only used blue light...
