scylam · 02/11/2006, 11:19 AM

i'd been using kent marine's superbuffer dkh and the corals are fine, (CLICK TO SEE MY CORALS)but after i've changed to seachem buffer, my gsp and other corals won't open as large as before, is there any relationship in between? Which brand of buffer are you using / suggest?

another question: what's the best time to feed the corals?
thanks a lot!

i dont use a buffer any more. i used to use SeaChem's Marine Buffer. it made my Alk go crazy. i would suspect the same in your tank. any idea what you alk level is? i know use Randy's 2 Part, you can make it yourself, or buy some B-ionic 2 part. great stuff!
