Try doseing some of SeaChems reef builder.It'll raise you alkalinity.

Thanks yote, i am too.

Also thanks for that tip im ordering some stuff for the two doctors and was wondering if i should do that. So the builder is better than the buffer? I was looking at that and the Buffer says it raises alk when PH is a problem and i have a really low PH at night which i never have tested at night before it was at 7.8 overnight and its usually 8.3 when i test which is what it is now since the lights have been on a few hours.

Will the buffer keep the PH up at night or am i seriously in need of a refugium to keep up the photo period over night?

On a side note i just had an idea and im testing it now i made a sort of nilsen reactor from 2 bottles im using one with over saturated limewater and the other with fresh water and the limewater bottle is sealed to keep CO2 out and it draws fresh water from the other bottle to saturate more of the settled lime I would really like to see how that works im waiting now for the water to settle out so i can start the drip.

Sounds like you're getting back on track. The buffer will help keep the pH more stable. But 7.8 isn't too bad.

And now for some pictures to get more thread replies LOL

The new anenome:

And my "20 oz Nilsen Reactor":

And then the reason not to use your finger to check if the heater (that is now out of the water) is still on:

Thanks for looking!

That anenome is gorgeous. Next time lick you finger before touch testing youll hear it before any damage done. Good looking tank.

Lol im not sure licking my finger would have helped i tapped it and it pulled skin there wasn't a wait at all it was just plain hot! lol

RyanG · #**208** March 3rd, 2008, 05:17 AM

Wow note to self leave the heater alone.

chaosfinity · #**209** March 3rd, 2008, 05:32 AM

As you can tell i wish i would have especially around saltwater LOL

That anemone is beautiful. LTAs are relatively hardy and one of the easier types to take care of. Congrats!
