Sorry if i missed it, but how do you keep up with calcium and alkalinity? Thanks!

 

[invincible569]

I stopped by naka's today and wow.. his growth is insane! It's only been a month and I could see phenomenal results. It must be that Italian method!

 

[naka]

I have a calcium reactor by Austin Oceans. MOcal 250.

I just added this little geometric hawkfish.

 

[fisheebill]

Cool fish!
The dorsal fins are kind of goby-like.
I've never seen this fish before... very cool.

 

[fishfanatic06]

Do you keep your alk and calcium levels at elevated levels for the pappone?

 

[naka]

Nope, not yet. Cal 420 Alk 9

Hey James, do you know if AE will ship a braceless tank to California? Thanks.

 

[naka]

Yes, they shipped over seas to Dubai last year. They also do alot of business in Mexico. I'm talking over 1000 gal. fish only tanks. I believe the shipping cost is around 800 - 1000? Sang, you got PM.

James,

Sorry if you have already answered the question, it's late and I don't really remember last time I read your thread.

Do you use a dsb or a refugium in your sump or equipment room?

I want to do BB with this next build that I am doing, but I am worried about all the negative feedback relating to no sand bed.

Thanks...

 

[naka]

No problem Kaidenjohn. I running PhosarHC in a reactor to remove phosphates. No remote dsb or refugium, but I'm thinking of adding a refugium in the future.

your tank is doing awesome. no need to change anything

 

[fishfanatic06]

Yeah do not add the fuge. Your tank is doing great the way it is. Like they say, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

 

[naka]

I'm not doing anything yet. Maybe later in the future when I get bored. I like watching all the pods in my refugium.

I am running Phosar. I have never heard of PhosarHC. What is that? I don't see it on their website.

 

[naka]

It's the high capacity version of Phosar.

Great shots a few pages ago...so dang clear. I just need to keep working with my camera to get the clarity better, depth of field has been my challenge. Do you see the little geometric hawk or has he disappeared into the rock work??

Your son is beautiful .

 

[naka]

Thanks Alicia, I saw him yesterday. It's really hit or miss with these small fish. I can't seem to find him today.

How's the hawkfish Naka?
