mpsti05 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ish looks great dude! Seriously I'm not happy until something is perfect.. The gf tells me I'm never happy and always tinker aka my car, motorcycle, fish tank and TVs.... I'm pretty much set on that 30"x20"x16" with starphire glass. Hopefully order at the end of the month and then I'm just gonna make my own stand. Besides that my sps don't seem so happy I think I'm gonna start testing Alk and ca and start dosing them. Can you recommend a test kit? Link to comment
beau13 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Portland, Oregon. They don't have nearly as good of frags as Southern California, but they have Oregon Tort! (I don't have it yet, but am hoping to get a frag off one of the originals here soon). Link to comment
Criley7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That's awesome. Hopefully I get some growth like that. I cut some frags of my Miami Orchid colony and within 2 weeks they were healed and encrusting about the size of a nickel. But seriously what up with a frag of that? Lol Link to comment
Rehype Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hey tron how much are you dosing daily? Sps look great BTW... growth is insane for just two months. Link to comment

Can you recommend a test kit? Salifert, whatever u do, do not go API. I may try those Hanna checkers next time, pricey tho, but so ez and exact. Portland, Oregon. They don't have nearly as good of frags as Southern California, but they have Oregon Tort! (I don't have it yet, but am hoping to get a frag off one of the originals here soon). I tried to get some tort but ORA can't gro it so it's always 86'd That's awesome. Hopefully I get some growth like that. I cut some frags of my Miami Orchid colony and within 2 weeks they were healed and encrusting about the size of a nickel. But seriously what up with a frag of that? Lol I only do local... I couldn't sleep at night if corals I shipped didn't make it to the buyer... Hey tron how much are you dosing daily? Sps look great BTW... growth is insane for just two months. Thx my dude, I cut out mag all together as we is cussed that one time and it seems to hold at 1350 with weekly reef crystals water changes. Daily bionic Part 1 alk: 7.5ml Part 2 ca: 5ml Ca sits under 400 but if I bump to 7.5 of each, the alk drops below 8.... So it's a give take thing..... Link to comment

Right now I just do weekly changes with reef crystals and do fine. When I do need to dose which will be very soon now, would you recommend kalkwasser? Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ok thanks! Had a friend who used kalk, he could never seem to either get ca high enough or the alk swung..... Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Do you dose manually or dosing pumps? Manually, but ever since adding the auto top off, I've considered looking into doses, but dunno where I would hide them. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I gotcha. Thanks again Tron Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I gotcha. Thanks again Tron Ya buddy, u just reminded me, just dumped $$ on marine depot, had to reorder the 2part, new chemipure, salt, etc... Down to my last few drops of 2part lol Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Haha well ur welcome. I returned the favor. Do u run dosing pumps? Link to comment
Criley7 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Do u run dosing pumps? No I don't dose anything at all yet. But depending on the cost of the pumps verses how often I would dose weekly, I would most likely run them. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Brs dosers? Anyone? Or the bubble magus doser... But it has 3 and I would use 2... But then has the controllability... Link to comment
