Faron Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Very nice Sherita! I need to post some eye candy...purple hooters look just like wow palys. Purple hooter sounds better! . Are these all in the same setup? What lighting are you using and are you dosing anything? Just curious...thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Purple Hooters and WOW are the same polyp, just different names They are all in the same setup, lit with 2 x 110w vho actinic and 2 x 250w 14k MH. I don't dose anything but kalk in my topoff water, with water changes done twice a month totaling about 15%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherita Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks everyone! I'll have frags ready later this year. Everything is growing out right now, and I'm still recovering from the tank crash last year. Once I'm ready, I will be looking to trade too, for those of you who have high end zoas and palys. Looking for: VDM, KO Nightmare, PPE, Red Flame PE, Dark Phoenix PE, Blue Agave PE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherita Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'll have the nightmares, PPE's, and agaves up for trade. When time gets closer lets chat. I'll have some really high end stuff ready to go by then. I'm interested in multipolyp frags of all three of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Did you ever figure out the root cause of the crash ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 The cause was two pronged. First, the city added chloramines to the water without notifying anyone, so my corals were already stressed. Then I had a short in the tank (powerhead) that sent 120v through the tank. The corals couldn't take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 That's awful. Shouldn't your rodi unit have taken out the chloramines ? Standard carbon takes it out pretty well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Standard rodi units will not remove chloramines. In order to remove them, water requires 20 minutes of contact time with 20" of carbon. A standard 100gpd rodi unit does not meet this requirement. I've altered my system by adding an extra housing so that I can run a refillable cartridge that contains catalytic carbon. My 5 stage system is now a 6 stage system. It's setup like this: sediment filter>catalytic carbon>5micron carbon block>1 micron chlor-block>ro membrane>di resin. If a standard system is not altered, it will NOT remove chloramines. One can also use Prime to remove chloramines, but I don't like adding things to my water if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Weird. I've never had an issue and the city of Austin uses chloramines. I just change out my carbon block more frequently than the recommended schedule. I also run carbon in my tank which would help presumably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something else goes wrong, then you will find out that your corals have been dealing with low level stress all along. Mine had been handling the water just fine, until the pump shorted out. They couldn't take the additional stress, and I lost about $4000 in livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
