Looking at http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...t=IMG_3352.jpg it appears you have changed your plugs. Please explain your reason and process.
Would like to see an update on your full setup to see how you have changed it around. |

Dear Machado deSousa,
I want to thank you for my current state of sobriety. I've been reading this post since 7pm and it is now 12:44am. I stated with a nice generous glass of Black Label Scotch and I know realized that I'm hammered! i thank you and Johnny Walker for the buzz. After reading through the entire 2 years worth of post I came 2 realize a few things. 1) You should be proud of your set-up. Everybody envies you. 2) After reading posts here that stretch for the last 2 year I realize I must be extremely smart. I've been in this hobby for 7 months and I was extremely surprised to the ignorance of some people. 3) You are a very good representative of your country. You are kind and Patient! Also Smart ( are you sure you're not Canadian?) 4) You either care dearly for the Reefs of the world of you have too much money. I'd buy any one of your corals for $35. That means in my eyes you have $140,000 CND in corals. As a business man I understand the opportunity you have and appreciate your commitment to the planet! ( or guiness book) lol. 5).... I'm too drunk to mention anything else! I should have stuck to beer! |

I have a 140 gal tank and I'm currently dosing manually aLk, CA and Mag. My parameters are perfect but I'm trying to stay away from testing every week. The two part method is expensive too. What would you recommend? Balling Method or Calcium reactor?
I don;t care about cost at this point. I want what works best. I currently have a Profilux 2 and was going to go the balling method. Please let me know what you think. |

Hello,
Here´s some pics taken in April to Machado´s Coral Maternity: Let me know if you want more. Regarding the doubts, I´m afraid I can´t answer for Machado so you´ll have to wait for him to come back here. Regards, André |

Mr. DeSousa, what do you dose in all these tanks to keep the corals fed? Anything specifically for the SPS?
What level are your phosphates typically at? Thanks |
