Killerdrgn,I was referring to where the source of the Iron is coming from but my Parms are ok,it's that My SPS can't take much of this skipping,that's why I'm selling them.

Iron is a trace element found in all salt mixes. So when you do a water change it'll replenish the iron.

Sucks man,I'm going have to do a water change at some point.My Dino situation is improving and with no fish,less nutrients to deal with.

can you dose around a water change? Mangroves replace ions if you are with those long term complications I think, (it was explained to me by someone who understood chemistry on a level way above my head), so the only loss without water changes really is your iodine, mag, calcium, alk etc... If you buy the Reef Lab Master test kit they have sample portions of each of the minors as a special - at least mine did. But if the supplements are as good as the test it wouldn't be worth the money.

Dinos would be my biggest concern right now, if they are improving don't change a thing. Just don't forget some mag for the mangroves

They're a pain to keep John,Leaves eventually fall into the sump and cause problems.I pull the ones I see that are rotten.

 

[johnmaloney]

toss them then and go to chaeto? ulva takes up a good amount of iron, if you really want to filter enteromorpha is the way to go, but it is somewhat ugly.

With all the new people here I thought I'd bump this one!

Can this thread be made a sticky some where other then the "For Sale" forum?

NP, can you post it here?

BTW, I really wish our USPS out here was better, so that I could order from you. God willing they will improve their service.

It isnt the same format unfortunately. It is most of the same though, we have it here:

USPS to NY is pretty reliable, 99% alive arrival you may want to revisit it

USPS every where else is great. It is just here at Far Rockaway that it s__ks. If my regular mail carrier is on Vacation, or out for some reason, the replacements feel that they don't have to deliver your packages, nor leave the "attempted delivery" slip of paper. I did order from you once before, and by the time I was able to track my package down more then a week had gone by. All the animals were DOA because of them.;( I did file a complaint both in person, and via mail to the Post Master. Matter of fact I opened the package in front of the post master who was apologetic.

Again, this not to be taken as your fault.
