R&L Aquatics, your one stop destination for high end super male wrasse.

Now all I have to do is figure out a way to catch them and I'll be set.

With how much they love to eat and how fat they are? It will be easy

May update...

Kalk over dose...:neutral: I don't know why but couple of weeks back I decided to clean out my kalk reactor. While I was doing that I had some hair algae that I had remove from the frag tank along with a couple of gallons of water. So, not realizing how much the water has gone down and how much more efficient the reactor was operating at I plugged every thing back in and went to bed. I am not sure if its only me that work on the tank late into the night or its pretty common amounts us hobbyist, a simple water change at 7pm always turns into 12:30 or 2 am. :noidea::noidea: When I woke up that's when I noticed the tank was cloudy and ph has shot up to 9.2 - 4 ish. Fak! Obviously I was late for work and had to go but when I came home the cloudiness has gone away but the ph was staying around 9 ish. Long story short, I was naive enough to think the high volume of the tank can withstand the kalk overdose, for the most part it did but I did managed to burnt the tip of a few colonies and killed a couple. I eventually did a few water changes but it was too long too late. oh well life goes on. the joy of this hobby. Here are a few pictures I took with my Iphone yesterday.

I considered a kalk reactor myself, but due to the fact it can be overdosed, I'd rather just keep it manual for that reason. I'm the same way with my ATO water, just do it myself to not risk the headache! Sorry for your losses!

Tank looks very nice, I'm sure the pictures do it no justice! I'll have to come by and snag some frags from you and see it in person! ;)

Rich, the tank still looking great as usual! Had planned to come out this weekend to drop off your new additions but will have to delay the trip over until later in June. Been busy with work and other stuff plus will have to wait for Jon to return from his holiday. This will give you time to make room in your frag or DT.
