Absolutely no noise or splash/salt creep. It is just a very tiny flow under not too much pressure (I have split the return from the pump into two, so it 300-400gal/h per return). If you are diligent enough to check the holes, sure, under the water level is fine. But I am not, and this visual...

I keep mine 1/2-1" ABOVE water line. That way I can see/monitor algae, calcium and gunk buildup on them that might not be visible if they were below the water level.

Check with Merv, I believe he has done arch himself in his new tank. People do several things: use putty, aragocrete (or some other cement based mixture), or sealant foam. For structure, I wold go with PVC piping - the sturdiest and most versatile. If you are going to drill just be aware that LR...

I suspected something like that. Some of those corals on the left are extremely dificult to keep, if not outright impossible by most hobists. And the orange stuff on the right looks like sponge, again very dificult to keep. And 30 (?) chromis would be such a strain for any regular tank. 3rd and...

I guess it all depends where the shrimps (sexy) feel most secure. Mine are 90% of time very visible (75 gal) but that is because their favorite spot is in the plain sight. So, it might all be my luck. As I have said, mine love Montiporas and Ricordeas and will almost never be on a plain rock, so...

Call me when you are ready to sell any frags of those :)

I, on the other hand I disagree :). I have 2 sexy shrimps, cleaner and a pepermint. I have them for a year or so. Initially I had 3 peppermints, but for some reason, after spawning, only one them survived (that is, I can see only one). Of them all sexy srimps are least shy and are visible really...

Well, it isn't but not exactly because of the chemical but rather physical process that affect it it chemical composure: - water going through skimmer is going fast (large flow) and is highly aerated - water going through Ca reactor is very slow, maybe even 1,000 times slower flow. Because of...

It seems to me that you have misunderstood the whole process, so, if you permit me, I will try to explain it in simple terms: Corals use calcium carbonate to build their skeletons, that they pull from water in the form of calcium and carbonate ions. The source of those ions (in natural way)...

Hmm, here is the problem - frequent water changes are implicit tinkering with parameters - you are resetting them to some constant value - all of them, at the same time, and significantly. Granted, you do not monitor any particular parameter, but that is just because you know that you will...

I raise both (left) hands ;D

I have a couple of sexy shrimps (Thor ambeonesis) that are relay fun to watch perching on rics and montis. They are less shy then my cleaner shrimp, that is now 4-5 larger then them (they are less then 1"). Phyllis, did you refer just to harlequins or them as well about the feeding? Because...

Didn't someone, a couple of weeks ago, post the following in this forum: :P Sorry, that is just me being very jealous :-[ Great shots!

Find (on the web or some other way) exactly which tank you want. Then go to any LFS close to you and ask them to order it for you and to call you when they get it.

OK, very clear - your corals are stressed from the move, so they are releasing toxins. Do you see all those leather and other softies shedding their mucus? And, the the whole thing will be a bit prolongated since each coral's stress will annoy other corals, which will fight it with their own...

Very interesting. Out of curiosity, does that ever happen to you in the "real" seawater (beach), and what is your tank stocked with in terms of corals: heavily softies, LPS or SPS? Are you detecting any serious battle between any two corals? Do you have any zoas/palys that are stressed in any...

For sale several frags: Pink Bird's Nest: plus a few more that I have to trim from overgrown colony. Green Cap with Pink Rim: Orange cap: Elkhorn Monti (big bunch - it is growing like weed, some of them with small piece of orange Cap): plus more

Thanks, I have spent 2-3 weeks coding and 2-3 weeks (so far, since I haven't finished it yet) on organizing the pictures and the other stuff. Interestingly enough, I have started the whole thing so I could save some time. By now, I probably have more then 20Gb of pictures and hundreds of links...
