Great colours on those corals! Must be time for a FTS, I think (hint, hint, nudge, nudge).

Looking good Steve! Glad to see some updated pictures.

Your photo skills have improved Steve! And your corals look great! Glad to see the tank is doing well.
And I second the request for a FTS....

 

[Lavoisier]

Stunning. I envy your whatever camera you are using! What have you settled on?

Everything looks awesome. Any FTS?

I'd love to see the FTS as well.

Thank you. I have a Canon 60D...i think.

I have taken countless full tank shots but taking a picture of an 8 ft long tank has proved to be really difficult. I cant seem to get a good. I need to get a wider lens so i can get a good one.

Steve get a Canon 10 - 22mm. It will allow you to take some great shots. Its my wide angle of choice.

Steve, are you using the Triton media in your calcium reactor? I'm going to have to start dosing magnesium, my 10% weekly water changes aren't keeping it above 1220. I think the issue might be that the media has no magnesium in it. How are your mag levels?

I am using the triton media and I dose 1 cup of mg every Sunday and that has been keeping me around 1400. I have switched to fritz salt and do a monthly water change.

Haha! We must read the same stuff, I switched to Fritz as well. What mag do you use?

Why not use remag in your reactor?

I remember Randy stating it won't raise mag. I just found the thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2479062

I also read that mag requires a lower pH to dissolve than calcium carbonate, but haven't been able to find that thread. But if it does dissolve at the pH my DaStaCo runs at I should be able to sakes it by dosing and keep it there with remag or a similar product.

Have you had good results maintaining your mag level with with remag?

I am able to maintain it. I fought low mag for awhile. Used powder to raise it and new remag keeps it there.
