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.
Unfortunatly Torches are very fragile when it comes to stuff like that. I lost my first one a long time ago for something similar. It was over a 3 week period that it kept receeding. I would cut the one good head that's left and place it in a lower flow area of the tank and hope it makes a...
Harry I think it's more for GroupBuys. Not so much the forsale forum. When we need to find out where things need to be distributed it helps. It also eliminates a question when you're dealing with someone you're selling to or buying from.
But I will say it's hard enough getting half the people...
Definitely will be taking pics. I'll set up a tripod and mark the floor so I can take the same photo everytime. (at least in theory)
What do you think? Once a week? Monday, Wed, Friday? Monday, Thursday? or everyday?
Those lifereef products look just like the ones you can get on dr.fosters. Since Dr.Fosters is a more known company I'd just go with them. Just my 2 cents.
Just a reminder ... it's time to start sending in your entries for POTM.
I would also like to add that if you win the POTM you get $10 club cash. This money is good for raffles, groupbuys, fragswap entry tickets, fragswap raffles, and eventually MACNA 09 stuff. :o
Winning the contest can help...
OK wayne, sounds like the lighting could have been your issue. When I get new corals now I first dip them and then i go over them with a lighted magnifying glass to check for bad bugs.
After that I put them on the sandbed for a while. after that I'll move them higher, about 1/3 from the top...
I got alot of stuff.
Right now in the frag tank I got AOGs, MonsterLips, Horizons, EagleEyes, Nuclear Greens, Purple Deaths, some peach unknowns, some Palythoa Grandis (blueish).
In my tank I have BamBam Orange, TubsBlues, Goochsters which are really nice, DragonEyes, BaliSafecrackers...
I think that getting a skimmer will definitely help, no doubt about that. As far as other equipment it depends on some of the problems you're having.
Besides slow growth.. do you have any algae issues.?
What are the perameters of the tank? How long has the tank been up?
Honestly I think different things grow at different rates in everyones tank. I myself can't seem to grow mushrooms fast at all but my duncan will grow 3 new heads a week!!
Some SPS seem to grow pretty slow where others just take off. I think it really depends on the tank itself. I don't think...
Go HOB to be safe. Nobody wants to throw away $300. I still think that in the meantime you can keep trying to contact ADA. You can try to ask the person that you got it from to call up the ladder and contact someone for you. Not sure how willing they'd be since they've already made the sale. But...
Also ADA is going to say that they recommend that you dont' drill it. Just ask them if the glass is tempered. If they ask if you are planning on drilling it then tell them the truth but ask if it's tempered first.
I'm not saying I disagree and I don't want anyone to drill a tank that's not prepared for it. But.....
I did drill my Oceanic 29G Biocube and no one on the internet had done it before. I checked all the nano sites and everyone said they've never done it. I check everywhere for about a month and...
Wayne from the sound of it everything seems to be perfext for keeping SPS.
How long has the tank been up?
What kind of return pump are you using?
The lighting is stong. Have you been starting your SPS lower in the tank and gradually moving them up. I think if you just placed them even half way...
