Chaotic Reefer4u
♥Acropora Aficionado♥
im really saddened because i have nobody to enjoy this magnificent hobby with down here in my area. i really love to keep sps and clams although the other day i had a really bad mishap in my reeftank and all my colonies of sps had started to Rtn/Stn/ bleach:sad1: i immediately tested my water and my alk was 16 and my calcium was 300
i tested my calcium reactor effluent and it was 6.7 my ph showed 8.2 from my reefanatic controller. i been noticing my calcium reactor media has not been dissolving at all and in fact its growing little bits of brown diatoms on the inside of the reactor on the schuran media
i have always wanted to keep sps alive and thriving because i just admire them and hope to one day be able to keep a monstrous sps tank with all the goodies that accompany it and to be able to watch them grow into beautiful colonies right before my eyes. i just cant seem to get this thing right
dial it in and make sure my alk/calcium are where their supposed to be at. theres nobody down here in my neck of the woods thats into this stuff or are very busy doing there own thing that im left all alone to try and fend for myself and figure this thing out. i really wish everyday that somebody would move in right down the street from me who was a sps fanatic and knew how to do it all right and keep the alk/calcium. etc... all in good standing and that we met and i finally had somebody to guide me through this and not only to guide me through but to be my newfound reefer fanatic friend that knows how to grow his sps like crazy too and dial everything in on his tank without a problem and had the know how i get so frustrated that i try and try but i cant seem to get it right how i wish i could have a nice sps tank like everyone else on this board, thanx for letting me vent...and i hope my wish comes through someday/oneday soon:sad1:
