I agreed with Mikef. If you do water change regulary, you don't need to dose trace elements. The new water change will add it into your tank.

I bought two of them for controlling bubble algea. However, only one is eating it. Anyway, they are also eating some of my grean algea too. I hear the big one will sometimes catch your small fishes tho.

Did you try to dose Iodine? It helps for some people including me.

The another one.

Here is some picture of them. I have two kind of Xenia.

If you do a search on Xenia, you will come up with alot answers for it. It's like a hit and miss with many different people. Even some with perfect water sometimes can't even keep Xenia alive. I bought a piece of live rock with Xenia from this guy. When I was home it was late, so I just...

I got 3 of fighting conches from floridapets.com for my 75gal tank and sump. It's around $5 each.. They are big.. around 2 inches or more.

Thank.. I just order it. However, I have one more question. At right now my light is 3x NO 40W each: 2 Actinic 03, 1 10000K. What should I get for 2 VHO 110W? Is 1 White Actinic and Super Actinic R the right choice, or I should go with 1 White Actinic/Super Actinic R and 1 10000k ? I wish...

Title says it all....

First rule of reef keepers is not to calculate the money to spend on the tank, because it will scare you. :p

Thank guys.. I just went to pick up some salt..... I did a 10% water change... seeing some snail start moving.. it's a good sign. Alk level is down to 15dKH .. will do some kalk dripping tonite.

It's 6 meg/L or 16.8dKH. Yes all my fishes are ok.. However, my cleaner shrimp died. All my snail are inactive. They are still alive, but they don't move at all. Other parameter: Temp:74F - 76F sq: 1.024-1.025 pH: 8.2-8.3 Ammonia: < 0.25 Nitrate: 0 Nitrate: < 5.0

I know doing a large water change will do it. However, right now I don't have enuff IO salt. In mean while.. can I use white vinegar to bring down the alk (of course I have to check to make sure the pH is still in range)..

Yeah.. that's why I have 2 holes. 8O I was thinking about this problem since I drilled the first one.
