Thanks Ryan22.....

Coral Reef Imports in Milford seems to be closed. Anyone know what happened?? Did Alex go out of business or did he move? There is no move info on the door......

There are no calibration screws on the front or back. It is an American Marine Pinpoint. I don't even know if it can be calibrated. thats why I may buy a whole new setup. I have a call into american Marine tech support now.....

I have a Pinpoint PH meter. It is probably 5-6 years old. It was stored for about 3 years when I had tanks shut down. I have had it in service again for about 10 months. It is way out of whack, showing a PH of 8.5-8.9 while 2 different Salifert test kits show 8.3 My question is how do you...

I do drip kalk at about 1.5G per day as an evaporation fill. I never have tested the MAG, but I guess I should, this could also be a problem with low CA even though I keep adding turbo CA. I do add buffer to keep ALK and DKH up

DKH = 10.1 ALK = 3.71 SG = 10.23 CA = 375-400 (having trouble moving this up !!) NO3 = 0 PO4 = 0 (although still battling small algae problem, hopefully the fuge will be final step to eliminate this) My tank is a 75G with 2 250W MH and 2 110W vho actinics. The 25G fuge is lit by LOA 65W 6500K...

My PH was always at a stable 8.2. Two weeks ago I added a refugium and the caulerpa is growing great. I have the fuge lights on for 12 hrs opposit the main tank. The PH is around 8.36 during the end of the main tank lighting period. The tank is at 8.58 this morning about 10 hrs after main lights...

I knew that would get your attention..... But its CA I'm talking about. I have a 75G with 2 clams and about 6 acro frag 2-4" and 1 stylophora, 2 plate corals, 1 meat coral. There is also about 150lbs of LR between the display and sump, some fish and LPS, also a 25G refugium. My ca levels (via...

Sammy I'm in the process of turning 1 of my 2 sumps into a refugium, it is a 30G rubbermaid with a 5" DSB, and some LR, I need to get lights and macro's. I guess I dont fully understand the PO4 thing. If I am adding water changes,Kalk and top off from a brand new RO/DI showing no PO4, I feed...

Have been getting outbreaks of green hair on my LR and now some brown and red film on top of the sand. I have added a new Precision Marine Bullet 2 skimmer and a new RO/DI for top off and water changes. I have done about 70G worth of water change in 8 weeks since getting new RO/DI. My hair algae...

This 75G tank is about 2 yrs old, so it is not cycling. I have a Precision Marine Bullet @ skimmer which is rated for like 200G, so its plenty for my tank. The algae is on top of the sand and I dont have any turbo's decaying in the tank. I have an arrow crab, which I think has eaten some snails...

I have algae, some brown, some red/pink growing in spots on the surface of my sand. I have had die off on my turbos and hermits so there are only a few and I know I need to get some more, but, is there anything other than lack of cleanup crew that is causing this. I have no readable nitrates or...

Just an update for CT reefers. Coral Reef Importers in Milford is closed on Fridays, usually 11-7 all other days. Great livestock at decent prices, Alex is knowledgeable and always helpful. As far as dry gods, I dont think you can beat online prices for most dry goods stuff anywhere.

This tank is about 2 years old, my PH is stable at 8.2 and I do dose kalk on a float switch as evaporation top off (calc level at 395 and trying to raise) I just bought a new Spectrapure 60gpd 4 stage RO/DI yesterday and will be doing some water changes to try and eliminate the nutrients for...
