  1. pink bird nest rtn

    So I came home after work yesterday to find my perfectly fine bird nest in rtn mode. It's the size of a soccer ball. Today it looks like the progression has slowed or stopped but its probably 50% affected. My fear is that the other corals will get some kind of death signal and follow suit. I'm prepared to break it apart and frag it but that's going to be a lot of frags. So here's a dumb question. Could I glue the frags together to make a new colony of sorts? And should I be looking for some kind ...
  2. 2lf new mag product

    Julian Sprung is coming out with a new mag product for calcium reactors. It's an add in to be used with tlf Reborn media which I am currently using. It's called Remag. Anybody have any experience or information on this new product?
  3. Magnesium Pronto - my first impressions.

    I got two more tests done today. Calcium is 450ppm, Magnesium is 1300ppm. I prefer Magnesium to be higher, more like 1400ppm.

    My reef has a liquid volume of 450g including the sump volume and satellite tanks.

    I took a graduated 8oz cup to measure solution into a plastic jug (formerly a pretzel container), and 15 of those cups filled it up. That's 120 oz.

  5. Hanna phosphate question

    I just recieved my hanna phosphate checker (HI713). Tested my water the way the instructions said. Is it possible to have a bad reading after 3 tries? I have green hair algae growing and algae on my sand bed growing for about a month or two. Will it show any readings to measure? i want to make sure im doing something right or not. Ialso bought some phosphate rx should i still dose some to see if i get any readings after the fact?
