I have been dosing the major stuff Mag, alk, and calcium as the demand goes up so does my dosing. I have also been dosing Zeovit aminos and a few other products. (not the whole zeovit system tho), I have been dosing the Red Sea NO3PO4x (carbon dosing) for nutrient control. Skimmer

Keeps my Nitrates 0
Nitirtes 0

amonia 0

calcium 450, mag 1400s, alk 8-9, PH 8.3 - 7.75 (night)


I had some killer Acans that were growing like weeds, and one by one they began to die off. Nothing really changed except for the Lighting with the Radion. Infact they they grew at a faster rate and the colors intensified for a good three months after I hung the light. NOw I went from having 6 awesome to 1. Im not sure if when I added the last one if maybe it was infected?

NOw I see some other LPS looking IFFY, and others look great. Maybe there is some chemical warefare going on now that space is becoming an issue?

Or maybe is it the Low nutrient enviornment?

What do you guys think? Can you offer any suggestions?

They all told me do yourself a favor and set up a QT tank for your corals and i did not listen thanks to my italian hard head. "ahhh i wont get anything ,i know what im doing i dip everything before i put it in...Im superman" Well guess what 6 months ago i got red bugs and had to find inteceptor and now im dealing with AEFW that im on the verge of calling it quits. Think about it we spend on a typical frag 40 to 100 dollars and sometimes even more. What sense does it make to spend all that money on one frag when you can skip that one frag and set up a small QT for the same price of that frag you wanted. You will always have a chance to buy that coral from somewhere else but it only takes that one time to wipe out everything that you have worked so hard for. Sure i hear people say " Ive been dipping for years without any problems im very diligent on my dipping regimn" Well you know what accidents happen thats why you have to buckle your seatbelts when you drive and have airbags because ACCIDENTS happen. All it takes is ONE egg to be left on your coral and then the fun begins. All it takes is a 10 gallon tank and a filter,heater and a light. When you do water chages on your DT you can use that water to replenish your QT. You dont even have to keep it running all the time. When you want a frag do a 10 gallon water change on your DT and use that water in your QT. After 3 or 4 weeks empty the tank and store it away. You can listen to what i have to say or just ignore it but remember this thread WHEN a bug hits you and you didnt listen. ]]> General Discussion duke62 http://www.reefsmagazine.com/showthread.php?t=125205 upflow algae scrubber http://www.reefsmagazine.com/showthread.php?t=125204&goto=newpost Sat, 19 May 2012 04:56:32 GMT Well folks time to change direction from the water fall to the up flow scrubbers.

I have incorporated to be hung on the side of the sump.. Also added the LED and heat sink on both side. I was originally wanted to just use one side lighting. But, change my mind when I figure I can mounted on the side instead. Luckly, I had enough space in my sump are and my cabinet door was able to clost shut. Everything is already done, last thing I need to do is plumb the UAS and start testing.

Once everything has been completed, I will spray paint it black but not the heat sink area.

without further ado here are some pictures..

here is testing and leveling out the sump.


Another shot.

1) 2002 Harley Davidson VROD. #10 of the assembly line. This bike has 6100 miles of use and is mint condition. This is a complete showbike. It won PM(performance Machine) bike of the year in 2004. It has a legitimate 25k ++ in aftermarket parts. To many to list and anyone interested in pics or seeing it can pm me. Price-$13,0000

2) 2006 kawasaki zx-14. This bike was rebuilt from the ground up by Ricky Gadson. It has a blueprinted motor with a garret turbocharger. Air shifter, on board compressor, adjustable turbo on the fly. Extended swingarm every imaginable option including every peice on the bike is powder coated black. Will produce from 270-500+ legitimate hp. This is a legitimate low 8 sec 1/4 mile bike with street manors. I asked that to be the criteria when building this bike. Price-$12,000

3) 2008 Ducati Ducati Desmosedici RR- this bike is completely stock but for those of you in the know this is a highly modified bike by Ducati. Only 1500 were made. This bike has less than 1k miles on it. Price-$65,000

Any questions feel free and pics will be supplied upon true interest. The first two bikes have had a small furtune of upgrades to them and not one item was skimped on. The third bike is already modified beyond my capability by Ducati....:tongue1:
