Sk8n Reefer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 1/4 you hardly even notice it once you put corals in and the coralline takes over. I think it looks a lot cleaner than this nasty ass sand. Very nice! Does it stain or dingy up over time? Does it come in black? What is its main application? Is it a homedepot or lowes product- sorry for all the questions- I am considering it for a future build Link to comment
Lawnman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It gets coralline on it or dingy spots in the beginning. All of that can be cleaned up with a magic eraser. Yes it comes in black and Homedepot and lowes doesn't sell it that I know of. I buy it from a guy off ebay. It's main application is for boats so it's made for saltwater. Link to comment

Lawn - you actually put the magic eraser in the water? I thought I heard that was bad and should only be used outside to clean the outside of the glass. Just curious... Link to comment

People just get all uppity because it's not marketed for aquariums. Link to comment

I always thought there must be some type of chemical in it and just assumed it was not reef safe. Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Late last night I woke up with a idea, a few lps were looking alittle pissed,even tho most were growing well and the few sps are showing growth, so I realized I hadn't been feeding the coral much lately, big so damn busy at work I run down and my nitrates were undetectable, not low, The test was clear. I checked again and same reault. In the past its stayed around 10, so I promptly fed and plan to get back on it.

markalot Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Nice milli. Feeding always bites my ass as well. I've overfed, then underfed, and now it will be interesting to see what nitrates are after being away for a week. I don't do a proper schedule, too lazy or too much like work. It's also time for me to buy some nice looking SPS and start chucking my random $15 frags that I keep hoping will color up. Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Same story for Silicone too, any 100% silicone that is full cured is safe. A guy on RC did a huge writeup on how people are over reacting. Dunno if I buy it, but it made LOTS of sense. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2289883 Link to comment
