Paul's 55 Gallon Reef Tank

[e.litvin]

I saw your from Venice, you do a lot of shopping at ecoreef?

 

[PaulKreider]

If I buy local its from Ecoreef, other than that I get alot of corals shipped in. But yes Ecoreef is my main store!

 

[Erock732]

what reef supplement are you using? and how often are your water changes? also if no dosing what salt mix are you using? thanks

 

[PaulKreider]

I was using Kent Essential Elements, but it was raising my calcium too high so I stopped. I do a water change maybe every 3 weeks? I'm very un regular about water change, I have a fairly large CuC and I let my skimmer do most the work. I'l change anywhere from 7-10 gallons every 3 weeks. I use Reef Crystals salt, works fine for me, dont have any complaints :)

Lost my frog spawn to brown slime bacteria :(

 

[skinz78]

Ah man that sucks, sorry for your loss. Did you get all the brown slime out without spreading it?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

Bummer. If you have any other euphylia corals, I would keep a close eye on them and be prepared to dip them if they show any signs of brown jelly.
