There's nothing that can be helped with that then. Will this cause it to die or? What are my options.

I've just noticed my sps seems to be going white in the middle. Il post a link to picture. Its the main branch and wondering what am I best doing. Leaving it fragging it or. Seems to to be a little white on the bottoms branch too. Alk 8.6 phos 0 calc 430 mag 1440 nitrate 0...

Well my first container was 25 litres and when I come to the last 5 litres I checked and it was around 50tds. So changed containers to a 5 litre. This lasted 1 week when I checked it had 30tds. I have just filled up my 25 litre container again and It is 0tds. I have drilled a led a small...

If it pulls stuff from pumps and containers is this an impossible task to keep top up water at 0tds

No it isn't sealed. It's got a lid but can't be screwed on due to getting the pump in. Am am I beat to drill small hole in screw cap and feed tube out of that to keep as air tight as possible?

I have a 4 stage ro unit. (Last stage is di resin) when i I make the ro for my top off water it's showing 0tds. One week later when I test the water is showing 31tds this happened so I changed my container for a new one and this is now doing exactly the same. Very frustrating as I'm...

I've had a pair of common clown fish for over a year and a red bubble tip anemone for the same time. The clownfish have never been near this but the last couple of weeks the femail seems to be in and out a lot but only on the sunrise and sunset of the lights. Any ideas why? And is this the...

That's great thanks for your help. Il sort it now.

So if it doesn't entirely dissolve can I still add this to my tank water without adding anything else to it? Or do I need to add more carbonat or trace 3

I've purchased some FM balling light products to keep my alk stable. I I have mixed 500g to 4 litre of water and added 25ml of trace 3. the full amount of carbonat isn't dissolving. As I have read some of it wont dissolve. I still need to add another litre to this but just wondering what...

thanks for your reply. I've been manually removing every time I do my water changes but some bits are hard to get too. Il take an hour off my lights and keep on with the water changes. Would a a few days with out the light on do anything beneficial or?

I have been having trouble with green hair algae in my reef. Ubable to to resolve and have reading of 0.01 phosphate and 0 nitrate. Just come one to the end of my 25litre top up water and checked and the tds was 50ppm is this the reason why? Whats my my next option? I have changed my di...

So by bringing my salinity down that will bring my calcium levels down to around 470 you said. How do I then bring it down to 420-440? If I bring it down will it rise again when I do a water change

Yes I try not to feed too much due to having very high nitrate 6 months ago. I will start to feed more and keep check on my parameters. What test kits do you use?

So to get my nitrate and phosphate up would you advise leave my next water change a little longer? I do have a h2oceon lps coral feed that I use twice a week. How often should I feed?

I live in Widnes. On the weates estate near the 8towers pub. Been in the hobby around 18 months and just took the plunge into some sps. Will check out your tank thread once it's up.

I have been keeping softies and Lps for over a year now and a few months ago I decided to try out a plating montipora. This seemed to go really well (surprisingly) with some good growth under my stock led fluval lights. Considering a lot of people say softies only under these lights...

Il have a look for the led for read chamber. Yes a nice looking tank and took my fancy the first time I spotted it. More room needed for me to upgrade tanks tho but I look forward to the day ha. Yes you have helped me a lot with your replies thanks a lot.

How come to had to have light 18inch from water line? Just too strong or? What type of light would you suggest for over a rear chamber. Seen a few people thinking of the sump idea. This is my first reef/marine tank so all a learning curve for now. Until I upgrade to a much bigger, sumped...

Great advise thank you, I will be sorting the the re-scape tomorow. I will make sure all rock has flow to prevent any dead spots. And make sure I don't disturb the sand bed too much. I have been browsing a lot on here regarding this tank and all equipment people have bought and seems alot go for...
