Todd, I'm not sure if thats the correct stuff. Reason why I think it comes in a different container.
Hey Simon - Acro growth
- Thread starter washowi
- Start date
Like he says.....He is my mentor 
I learn from the best. But I feel the risk is worth it..If sh-t dies. I will make more money on Monday! (my motto). Replace and continue the experiment..
Pretty much like me buying clams from Harry's Farmers Market and putting in my tank to see if it would work. I think I still have one or 2 left of those in my tank! Put them in over 2 years ago.
Lets advance this freaking hobby to the next level...

Hi All,
The Bali Slimmer was a 1 inche frag about 10 weeks ago. Overall height must be 8 inches now.
The Purple Acro and Purpule Digitata have lived happily for some time now. But now they have encroached on the Green Cap. Something had to give. The Cap is winning.
Frag time tomorrow.
The Purple Tip Brown Acro, you can now see the accelerated growth from the tip.
The Blue Acro, is a relatively new peice and from the branches you can see he is happy.

I was having problems today with it as well.
It seems fixed now.
It seems fixed now.
Hmm... seems to work for everyone else - maybe it's the user
Just go back and switch off the Drag and Drop and do it manually (User CP -> Edit Options -> Image Uploader (bottom of page) and Save Changes). There seems to be some issues with FireFox, but everyone running IE seems to be ok...
Well I am running IE, followed the directions as posted, did what everyone told me to do. It does not work for me. If there is a size of picture? file size?
The problem I am having seems to the same others have had. Still don't know why I am having problems.

I don't know if this will help, but it seems to me that if you hit the submit reply buttom above where you have the pics loaded, it won't work, so maybe try hitting the submit reply button under your pics..... ?
I don't know the chemical compounds in the "pool seasons" brand, but I know that there are several items that are safe to use in a swimming pool that can also be used safely in our aquaruim. The important thing is making sure you ar adding the proper chemical.

Pls note, I would like to state this once and for all. It would be very foolish of me to recommend the use of any none aquarium product for your reeftank. I did not start this thread nor do I condone any one risking their livestock on any undocumented proof or statement implied. Sorry, I don't want to hear "Well Todd and Simon said it would work and now its killed my tank".
I am trying to make it as clear as possible, that this is a risk. A risk that most people cannot take.
Speaking with other aquarium specialists, and chemists from around the country. I can confirm that not all chemicals are the same. Even if there marketing names are identical or even similar. If chemical processes differ then it could leave trace additives could be detrimental to your aquarium. So I am trying to say dont go out and buy another product even if it has the same name.
Now, with that said. The chemical I am using is basically Calcium Chloride. This alone is not enough for your aquarium to sustain aquatic life with skeleton growth. There are many other factors that need to be taken into consideration before simply thinking Calcium Chloride is the cure. Pls read Tom Wyatt's presentations on the mechanisim of Calcium absortion in Coral structures.
I personally use the biggest Calcium and Nilsen Reactors from MRC and I still struggle to maintain Calcium levels. My only option is to add Calcium Chloride on a daily basis. At six heaped tablespoons a day this rocks up to very expensive. So I searched for alternative which would be more cost effective.
My coral growth before using this product was excellent, but since using it, it's accelerated. At this moment I'd actually say thats a negative. I've had to trim back all my corals very aggressively to accommodate for the rapid growth. Fragging corals in my tank is not a pass time I like doing. The corals never look the same and was going for the full look anyway.
So would I recommend this to everyone, absolutely not. If you'd like to speak with me about this then contact me directly. I will help you out where I can.
Please do research before adding anything in your tank.
