What I Have

kosher1571 · 05/27/2006, 10:31 PM

I have a 200 gal. bio system with a skimmer and pac lighting. I just purchased a ro/di system because I have been making my water for water changes. I do a 20% change every 3 weeks. I will start doing a few tests and post the results. i know the last couple times I had the water tested at the fish store they told me that my calcium was low but ever really told me what to do. I will start with new numbers and go from there. My tank is at about 76 deg. My torch coral and mushrooms do alright but my other coral just hangs around for a while the slowly dies. My rock seems to be detereating. All my star fish have wasted away. Except by sand stars, 3 red with lots of feelers and 1 grey green flat one. thank you everyone for the help!!!!
