Glad to see my tank went to good use... its great work that youre doing over there. I'll be following up on the progess and cant wait to see some updates. Like i told you before, if i find anything else that you can use I'll give you a call. on a side note, what do you mean keep a "log with...

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! would you reccomend bottled distilled water? I honeslty dont have the location setup an RO unit and its a long drive to anyone who sells RO water so Im left to use water conditioners that make my skimmer nuts for a few hours. Any alternative?

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! next time i go buy water I'm going to label the buckets "salted" and "unsalted" so that there will be no more confusion. Thanks for the help guys and as for AF, im sorry that I raised a bit of a commotion about them. I still preffer AO one hundered times...

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! id say probably a gallon or two at best

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! ive topped of with RO salted water once in this last week or so... I had been only adding water when i did weekly changes with water that I mixed at home... I have Bob Fenner's book and have done quite alot of reading online but I'll definately have to...

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! wow... definately did not know that. would the fact that I only made one topoff make such a drastic change though? Literally like 1/2 inch of water

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! salted

Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH! yeah it is a definate lesson learned... i was so busy looking at other parameters and i figured since it was store bought that i should be alright so it completely slipped my mind to check that first. I was using their water to top off as well....

Ok, im posting this in a bit of a hurry so excuse me if there are errors. Lets rewind to about 2 weeks ago... im having a battle with cyanobacteria and start looking for solutions. Refugium goes in with chaeto and no results... i cut the lights, no results....i cut back feeding, no results...

i have a koralia 2 in my 20 tall and stuff seems to get blown around everywhere. The rics are ok but the xenia is always toppled over no matter where i put it. i think one should be enough in your tank.

one good option in regardsto LED replacement is the Current USA sunpod, i think the reason they placed the LEDS on removable panels is for this very reason. Saves you the expense of a whole new fixture. EIther that or a standalone lunar light set that can be bad these days for around 20-30 dollars

alright so here's an update almost a month later! :) I've replaced some of the components on my tank. I didnt like the fact that I had 3 seperate light fixtures which made it a hassle to clean the tank, so I opted to sell (or attempt to sell ???) all of them in favor of one complete fixture. In...

thats exactly what it looks like, even the whole rock formation itself is that shape, so it might just be one huge mostly dead cup coral colony.

see the thing is that this particular piece of rock is covered in those little dents where the coral comes out of. Could it have just been retracted until it settled into the aquarium? Maybe grow was the wrong word but they are def poppoing up all over that rock in different areas, some even...

This stuff came on a piece of TBS rock. At first it was just one or two little polyps now its spreading pretty quickly down the rock. Any ideas??
