Thanks Coral Hind for these candies.

Maybe you haven't seen high power LED. 1 single chip LED 200w, that"s equal to 400w mh bulb and it comes in any color you want 6k, 10k, 14k, 20k even hybrid (half white and half blue). Also put it on a controller and you can program it to sunrise and sunset effect.

I would go with LED instead of MH to save electricity.

He should give the fish mouth to mouth CPR.

I think petco has bio spira.

They are beautiful and cost more than my entire tank. http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/the-1286/Clarion-Angel-%286-dsh-7%22%29/Detail http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/the-810/Clarion-Angel-%284-dsh-5%22%29/Detail

I don"t dose anything just regular water change and feed my fish different foods soaked with selcon.

I would be extra careful on dipping fresh frags from a mother colony that came straight from the ocean. Those are really sensitives, and I have lost 2 beautiful palys.

I got some RB LEDs currently in the systerm. I was hopping to replace 2 150 MH with this built. According to the thread it only cost about $110 per 50W LED so I'm excite to see the outcome.

I am going to build 2x 50w 20k leds following instruction from this thread on RC http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2128756 Did anybody on here try this before, if so can you please share your experience?

I used to have the same problem, high calcium and low alk. I solved my problem by dosing baking soda until my alk is 10-11. Randy Holmes had a great article. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/11/chemistry

That"s great. I will give Prestone Ca and Safestep a try this week.

I'm trying to make 2 part dosing but having trouble finding Dow flake and Mag flake locally. I have found alternative brand at Lowes and HD Calcium http://www.lowes.com/pd_151998-10611-50B-HEAT_0__?productId=3540820&Ntt=prestone&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dprestone&facetInfo= Magnesium http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202571114/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=magnesium&storeId=10051 i guess this will work since it is 100% magnesium chloride hexahydrate anyone use the above products before? or have any oppinion? thanks

You should give nl spectrum a try. My purple tang loves it.

You might want to give UV a try. I got UV installed and water is cleared as crystal.

I've got the flame angel for 1 month and he is awesome. I got RBTA, Torch, Shrooms, Xenia, Various Acros and Monti, he nipped at the acro polyps several time but never likes it and stop ever since. Now he swim around picking on LR and eating HA. He is really active and has great personality. I will try Emperor Angel next week, and hope i got the same luck (finger crossed).

I would built your own with cre xm-l. They are not that hard and cost less.
