Lorenz0: Thanks man, I saw your tank thread and it looks great too! I love how everything always looks so clean in the beginning stages haha. Now if only you can find a way to get everything in those dive pictures into your tank

AMAZING! Even more amazing that your doing it so "low tech". I am really surprised that the tanks calcium and alk is keeping up with all those colonies and no supplements or calcium reactor.

Great tank.

Great tank.

Thanks! I don't know how it works either. Low tech is the only way I can afford since I am a student. Some people say I am just getting lucky :P I have never had a problem with alkalinity or calcium. I am however, getting interested in dosing. I have never really checked my alk or Ca levels before, and I have been researching some dosing lately. I wonder if I will get any better growth with it. I may give it a test in the next few weeks. Anybody with experience in 2 part dosing and would liek to give some advice, I would love to hear it. I find that hearing from others is a good way to get ideas and learn from.

great tank man, Im running a 150 gal SPs tank too ,but nothing like yours, my CAL and ALk are using I drip kalk from a reactor and drip it 1 drip every 3-4 seconds and my CAL is at 430 and ALK is 8.9 so im happy until they start to grow then. Im going to Dosing with a pump.... better then a CAL reactor i dont hav time to fiddle with it.
