    Next experiment - Raising cultures of rotifers and copapods

    Having bombed my tank to rid it of GHA, I began the process of re-establishing my refugium. Macro algae is back in, and I got a new refugium grow light on Amazon, given 5-star ratings by reefers who have used it for this exact purpose...

    A700 Settings

    Robert, I did damage to my wallet yesterday, picking up an A700 at the store. I am getting ready to expand to SPS (more Neptune damage to my wallet). I'd like to match A700 settings you are using to increase my chances of success. Can you share your settings? Thanks, Jim

    Back in the Saddle

    Greetings, friends. I have returned after a long absence starting in January. I had to bury my father, and was named executor of the will. Never agree to this unless you have lots of time on you hands, and don't mind dealing with contentious relatives, accountants, tax specialists and...

    Raising phyto, pods, and rotifers

    After my 190 is rid of algae and is stable and growing, my next project is to spin up a frag/propagation tank. My objective is not to sell, but to have frags to swap at meets and also give to new tank owners and folks who experience a crash. While many corals experience growth with just good...

    Dosing hydrogen peroxide

    In an effort to eliminate hair algae from my system, I did some research on the dosing of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). There are quite a number of threads across several boards, reporting varying results. Dosing levels are rather standard. And so, I carefully measured out the recommended dose for...

    Update on the algae project

    All, I thought that I should move the discussion of algae elimination out of the new member forum. It has been almost two weeks now since I started treating the 190g with a combination of H2O2 dosing and treatment with Fauna Marin Dino/Algae X. When completed, I'll do a write up following the...

    Trace Dosing

    OK, I realize that this may bring out some rather biased opinions and experiences, but I'd really appreciate the experience from the group. Do you dose trace elements? If so, what do you use? Are you seeing results? I have a mainly LPS / polyp tank (no SPS) and am not happy with growth...

    Repairing Rockwork on Established Tank

    OK, hoping the community can provide me with some advice on a rockwork issue. About a year ago, I upgraded from a 110 to a 190. I had the transfer planned down to the finest detail. Until the unplanned occurred. The putty epoxy that I used to build the initial rockwork failed completely during...

    New to BAR, and my science experiment

    Greetings, all. New to BAR. I upgraded from a 110g to a 190g about a year ago when the wife wanted the tank moved out of the office and into a new location built into a wall, with a "fish room" in the adjacent garage to eliminate junk in the house. When moving the tank, why not get a larger...
