well then all i would have to soak in the peroxide would be the pvc base because thats where the algae is. Then maybe dip the whole thing in iodine solution.

im looking at a few frags on ebay from this online store (reefempire). All his bids are starting at 0.99 even for chalices, acans, high end stuff. Do people normally scoop up these corals last minute for what they are truly worth or do those retailers take huge hits on selling them for half of...

thanks

ive got my eyes on a gorgeous pulsating pom pom xenia at a LFS but it has some green algae on the disc that I cant identify. If I dip it in something can I assure that this algae wont spread? What would you do, is it best to avoid the coral? Thanks, Chris

Well like I said in my last post, what it comes down to is how much light is getting into the tank.  Watts per gallon gives you a basic framework of judging the amount of light you need.  Of course there are many variables such as reflective surface around light, depth of tank, type of lighting...

so like i said, Vaceek if you want to be creative check out AHsupply.com. They are amazing to do business with and provide super easy retrofit kits that anyone can mount into a hood. Their reflectors are probably the best you can find out there. You could easily keep soft corals with one of...

I dont want to turn this into a t5 vs halide debate because the original poster is comparing t5's to PC's. From my experience, t5 is more energy efficient, runs cooler, and lasts longer. On the other hand I have used high polished parabolic german reflectors with individual power compacts and...

just saying, my 29 is only 18" tall and its doing great under a metal halide. I run a small fan over the water and I keep my temp under 80 degrees and although there is some evap its not that bad. I guess its all just a matter of preference but I really enjoy the shimmer effect I get with my...

Im thinking of asking Santa for a Tunze Osmolator this Christmas. I travel quite a bit and I think I really need one. Does anyone here run an ATO and what do you have hooked up? Thanks, Chris

if its a standard 30 gallon, sure but that really depends on the dimensions of the tank.

i upgraded my lighting a month ago to HQI and some of the skirt hairs extend out like as much as half an inch. Is this common? I mean, they look really healthy, they just have "hairier" skirts now. Is this due to the increase of light?

nothing wrong with PC as long as its over a relatively shallow tank, sounds like a cool setup

another loyal follower of Dr Fosters here. They ship fast, they frequently have good deals on shipping (5.99 flat rate on all orders right now) and they are extremely professional. Called them today because I forgot to add a K2 to my Azoo fan order, and the lady processed it as a seperate order...

yea is that in your display tank? or would something like that look stupid there?

I found a nice little zoo frag with about 15 heads at Trop tonight. They are bright green with yellow centers and bright green hairs. Only 14.99 after their 20% off discount! Pretty cool score I think.

is there anything besides mangroves that you can put in a reef tank that looks attractive and sucks up nitrates? Some guy on craigslist said he dives off of NY and posted some red plants that he found at about 35 feet. Any macro algae that you can put in your display that looks decent?

cool tank X, I bet you could also kick my ass, lol.

Herb, any chance that you are around during the day tomorrow? Im def interested in a piece. If not maybe tomorrow night? Chris

the stupid bar i was at has to shut off the fights after the main event is over, i cant stand it when they do that. Who was the 6'll guy that fought? First two fights last night were sick. Im glad that the UFC is also showing the prelims live on spike tv now, thats hot.

well, at least now they know that you arent safe if you let it go to a decision. Sad but true
