No need to be embarrassed.  We all started at one point or another...and most of us made the same mistakes!  That's what a reef club is for. 

Congrats on getting married!  I understand how hectic that can be.  I wasn't trying to nominate you for hosting, but thought it could be helpful.

What's the latest with your clam & aquarium. What was determined by the person who came to check out your system & water?

The phosphates were high dont know how they got high I dont feed much. But we did find my linka Star fish dead in the back of my live rock but i can't reach it to get it out. Also Alk was high I am going to go buy a Reverse Osmosis system and a Phosphate reactor to correct the promblem. I have another group comming in Sat. to actully help in fixing the problem. Reef maintenance experts from Cincinnati should Do the job just fine.

How about a solid answer to the question...who is it that you have hired to do this?

Why is it such a big deal who he has hired? Maybe he would prefer to not say. Let him post the numbers and proceed from there.

Well, nothing water changes wont remedy. The PO4 reactor will help out. Should help with algae issues as well, if you have any.

Just curious, how are you supplementing your alkalinity?

You have to realize there is nothing in Cincinnati. I was hoping that maybe there was a new store/company in the area. We drive 1+ hr anytime we want anything reef related to Joel's or Scott's.
