Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
700-800 gallons, 50 gallon water changes min, 4 times in a week for the 20% = 200 gallon bucket salt mix per week! What about the electric, water and how fast the RO media gets used up. Makes me want to downsize! Thats is one really nice tank tho.
I understand but the thing is people only report the bad stuff not the good its the way of the internet. Look in the emergency section I have a brand new 120 AGA leaking, after 3 months. :/ 10 calls to AGA so far and I can not get the warranty guy. One of the biggest companies building tanks and...
it does not seem off enough to wipe your acros also look for other things like red bugs, ph day/night swings since your kh is a lil low. Maybe take your water to the lfs and see if your tests are acurate.
Hi sorry to hear you lost the anemone :-\
Just to touch off on them I know someone who bought 3 of these that died pretty fast in the exact same manner. They were all purchased from the same place but months apart from each other. I am wondering if they just are preprogramed to die if they are...
You may have took them out of season, post a pic you incriminate yourself :p I think I have seen guys out there targetting them I bet they get good money for em.
I thought the Tog limit was 6 now? I am from NY. No matter I go out with my bud has the food fish license we can take 25 good $$ when...
Wish I knew what industry will be stable long term, thats the key. Auto is tough I think once the india and china cars come its over for the U.S. car companys, only one will survive I guess and maybe even take a few jap companies too. Medical is the obvious choice for the job that lasts a life time.
The other half of this system depends on a skimmer, its the most important part of it you should not even be dosing carbon if you dont have a really good skimmer. Since you no longer have the nuisance algae to help gets the excess nutrients out its up to the skimmer to grab everything after the...
Take a good amount of your tank water to a trusted reef type store and have them rerun all your tests, every brand of tests kit almost has been known to NOT work right either do to age, bad batches or just plain they dont work good peroid do to a poor product. Since you have so many things...
Im not sure what all the chems you are using do exacty but once you strip everything out of the water..
These are supposed to be very helpful in getting color to your corals..

Try making a trap with a bottle and a piece of chicken or something as bait with the lights off, if its carnivorous I dont think it will be able to resist, crabs are suckers for oder.
Thanks for the deatailed reply on how you were dosing. Cool that you got the color what you were looking for, sucks to spend alot of time and money and not have good results. :)
From what I understand with these systems is you use chems that strips everything out then you buy a bunch of chems to put it back in minus the bad stuff. I don't want to harp on it but, its a perfect system pretty much.
For the company that makes the products! LOL :P
Its a "internet" fact that the reds are more hardy. How true it is, is in the eyes of the surfer :p
Gonos are supposed to come from and like dirty water. I find it odd that we would try to keep it in our pristine reef water and expect it to live. Like the posts above about it being a great...
