    Conchman's 50 SCA Build

    Current update on the tank. Its been a while, added 2 MP10's, Mobius, 2 new Gen 5's, also Mobius. Not sure what I will do with the Gen 4 XR15, and 4 MP10's on the 50 SCA seems like over kill, I keep them turned down. Added a electrical cabinet, rented a par meter from BRS and man, do I need...

    Mag and Phosphate

    Hello all, hope everyone is safe. Dropped by BLC today, had to pickup salt. The tank is settling down now. Gravel stays clean, every few days clean the glass. Did lose one SPS, not sure why, everything else is doing fine. So here’s the question about levels, all Salifert; PH - 8.0 Nitrates...

    Conchman's 50 SCA Build

    So I got some work done today. Glued some frags, cleaned up some rock work. I picked up a frag a while back and saved about 8 micro-brittle stars. I see them from time to time sticking their legs out. About 3 weeks ago, shorty after a water changed, I saw how many I really have, a lot, a...

    Parameter swings

    I barely dose CA, water changes mostly keep it in check. ALK, however will drop into the danger zone quickly, I test 2x week. BRS dosing units with digital timers. It keeps things pretty stable. More than a few tanks have crashed due to this.

    Parameter swings

    With mild stocking levels I am dosing for both CA and ALK. I do regular water changes that helps, but still add. You say you are new, how old is the tank?

    Aptsia???

    Well, I tried to suck up during a w/c what I thought was Aptsia sitting along the glass in the sand, now I’m not sure. I will try and post a picture tomorrow, but for now a description. Multiple very thin look almost black and white stripped tentacles. One or two are very long 3-4 inches, rest...

    BRS doser timers

    Question for those running BRS Dosers, what timers are you using? For now just manually dosing 2 part. Thinking I need something that can turn on, off in a minute, maybe 2 minutes max. Several times daily. Thoughts?

    Nitrates

    Okay, getting stumped here. After moving into the 50 SCA about 6 weeks ago nitrates got elevated, and cyno showed up. Figured it was from new sand. I did seed they new tank with about a cup of sand from the 20. I have been doing 5 gallon water changes every/every other day for 2 weeks and...

    Spagetti worm?

    Looking to ID this guy, I think it's a spaghetti worm (little blurry, but in center of picture, 11:00 to sunset monti that I got from Victor growing on the rock next to it nicely!), are these ok or should I remove if possible?
