Yes, welcome to the club from another reefer local to you. I live in Rutland. You're always welcome to stop by my house as well, just send me a private message. Take advantage of the surrounding members, as its extremely helpful to visit other peoples tanks and see things in action.

[TheUltimateNoob]

a lot of coralline algae already. what do you dose?

 

[blajoie]

I use a product called Calcium +3 suppose to add Calc, Magnesium, and Strontium. Only been using it about one month though.....but I have noticed the coraline really start to take off. Also feed phytoplankton to the corals every few days and add Kalk Buffer whenever it needs it.

 

[blajoie]

Hey everyone got one more question. To those of you that live in the Sterling/Worcester/West Boylsten Area.... What are some good local fish shops. Going to school up in lowell im always at aqua addicts, but are there any nice places nearby? Thanks

I can't really say there are any decent "local" places. I have two in my town that I never ever go to, just not worth the effort.
