When this first started happening, I thought it was Ice, but the fish didn't look like they had been infected with that. Their skin was...

    CA Reactor Advice

I'm a HUGE Zoa fan, but for the life of me, I can't keep them thriving! I've determined that my lighting is the culprit (3 Radion XR30 Pro's). I've fried...

    Help using Neptune pm1 module with pH probe to control Ca Reactor

    I did not calibrate it--it came with no calibrating fluid and I ran out. Will it not take readings until it's calibrated? The tank pH with the probe I'm trying to use with the Ca Reactor is the same as the reactor's pH--so it's not reading that either.

    I think my Maxima clams are dying

    I recently purchased 2 maxima clams. After acclimating, I placed them both on the substrate (Aragonite Live--fine). My tank is 29" high, and is lit by 3 Ecotech Radion XR15's that come on around 1:00 PM and shut-off around 11:30 PM. They start off at blue and gradually work there way up to...
