Hi looking for a bit of help dosing, just starting my venture into dosing & not sure if I am over complicating things ! Had a read through Esox dosing thread & I can’t get my head around the calculations.
( maths never been my strong point ) :scratchhead:
So I’ve got a 400 L tank did a water change Sunday & carried out tests Red Sea test kits new
Ph 8.3
Kh. 8.4
Calcium 460
Mag. Showing high @ 1600

Carried out same test tonight
Ph 8.3
Kh. 7.8
Calcium 380
Mag. 1480

So obviously things are...

Merry Christmas to you and yours, hope you're having fun!
I'll keep this short and hope it's not too much of a brain drain question for the Xmas break.
My tank is still maturing, with no concerns really, set up early October. I've noticed my Kh is on the low side, 7 to 7.2. When I was getting things together I bought used kamoer dosers, dosing containers etc for future use. I also purchased what I thought were general supplements Kh, Mg and Ca. I went to read the instructions on the Kh...

Hi all

Ive not been back here for a while, was so excited when we had our new marine tank and posted here and and posted pics etc

Short story over the last month, we have lost 6 out of 10 fish which we now believe was/ is white spot, acted on the advice of the LFS but after a lot of research we now have a hospital tank set up and will be putting the remaining fish in to treat with copper in the next couple of day just waiting for the treatment to arrive tomorrow, only worry is the...

Hi,

I bought my first tank, an Interpet Fish Pod 120, a couple of years ago with the intention of keeping it FOWLR. Worked great for me, but then I decided that I want corals as well. I shopped around for a new tank, but they were too expensive for me. So, I thought I could give it a try and build my own reef tank.

I bought a low iron glass tank from the internet for a reasonable price. With 80 cm of length I had enough space for an integrated sump. So I sacrificed about 1/5 of the length...

Hello I'm starting up a 250l reef tank with a 130l sump underneath . I've got a skimmer bio pellet reactor to go in the sump but not sure wether to add a calcium reactor / dosing pump or both as I'm wanting to keep both soft and hard corals ? any help and advice would be appreciated
Cheers Phil

Hello,

I'm at a loss. I'm still relatively new to this and so not really sure what is going on! My tank is about 9 months old, generally been good although did go through a period a while back where my corals started to look really bad. Am through that now and thought i was doing well but in the last few weeks i've lost 4 fish. I've checked all the things i think i should be checking and aside from Nitrate being 12ppm ( which i didn't think was too bad ) i can't spot what could be wrong....

Guess I better make a thread for my new tank, another Reefspace 900, but this time in white.

Picked the tank up back in December after having a chat with the wife about changing the colour of the living room furniture from black to white. It came with a blue backing, which I hate, so that was whipped off
