Snappy's REEF

Thanks Greg! You sure have a lot of light on that tank - 7 bulbs to replace? Ouch, that's gotta hurt! You have great colors, and you don't use anything fancy. Do you use Salifert for your alkalinity test?

I use Elos for alk & salifert for ca & mg. If you count the T5's, which I do, it's 19 bulbs to replace, yikes.

Oh ya I did see that too! You're nuts!! Wow, you keep alkalinity that high with an Elos kit eh? The reason I ask is that Salifert alkalinity reads 2 dKH higher than Elos (which you probably know).

So for the alkalinity test kit which one is right? I use salifert what should my reading be.

Actually I didn't know that and but thanks for the tip. I've never bothered taking the time test them against each other. I think you just solved a recent parameter issue for me.

Josh AKA Jdigital was over yesterday and snapped a few pix, here's a sample.




Perhaps not considered a "collector coral' but I've always liked the contrast of this blue tip stag
