TheKleinReef Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Any reason why I have to make triple the amount of initial potassium reagent and use 4 sheets of filter paper to get 3 EFFING ml just to move onto the next part if the test. Ugh. Annoying. I'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It takes a while! You have to be patient. That test takes a good 30 min IMO. Do you know your strontium levels? Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 It takes a while! You have to be patient. That test takes a good 30 min IMO. Do you know your strontium levels? more like 50min. it gets frustrating after the third time... haha i dk my strontium levels. should i? i read the slifert test isn't very accurate. destined to be in the frag tank forever http://www.flickr.com/photos/113969537@N03/12421320954/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/113969537@N03/12421320954/'>Red Delicate 2/9/14 by http://www.flickr.com/people/113969537@N03/'>xMrKleinReef, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/113969537@N03/12420836665/'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/113969537@N03/12420836665/'>Green Tenuis? 2/9/14 by http://www.flickr.com/people/113969537@N03/'>xMrKleinReef, on Flickr Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just an FYI even dying corals will extend their polyps in most situations I'm my experience that's not the case. All the acro in the 65 that were necrosing had minimal polyp extension. But thanks for the kind words on my perfectly healthy acro in the pic Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 came home today and found that the STN made it's way into the frag tank. lost 1/2 the ORA nana, and hawkins. 2 colonies and 3 or four frags. i'm giving up. selling all my acro, and this entire system. Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Roger no!!!!!! This tank was the only thing keeping me from giving up completely. And now that it's crashing I'm done. Starting over maybe sometime in the future. Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry to hear about the STN situation. Hoping next time will work out. Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Really sorry to hear about the crash roger..hope you come back soon thanks hype. the 65g will stay up. that's technically my parent's tank. i never thought something i love so much would actually push me away from it so hard.

Lawnman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 thanks hype. the 65g will stay up. that's technically my parent's tank. i never thought something i love so much would actually push me away from it so hard. It's that damn SPS! The stuff looks good but it's the devil. Start collecting Z's P's and LPS much more forgiving. Don't be a slave to your tank like Kat . Link to comment

Don't be a slave to your tank like Kat . some sps are doing well. but that's exactly what happened in the 65. so i'd rather just sell everything while it's happy before it really goes south.
