I'm not so sure that Kalk and/or vinegar is going to help much. I had some pocillopora colonies in my tank, and quickly got rid of them (or so I thought), when I saw babies popping up everywhere. After selling all my poci colonies, and after chiseling off the babies, they continued to pop up in...
What stunning zoos, Rafal! ;D Can't wait to see the full tank picture. If you lived closer, I'd stop by in an instant to rip some of those zoos out. :-X
This is from personal experience: I've only been in the hobby for a little under 2 years. Started off with a used 75, and had pretty good success with it. It was an SPS dominated tank. By the middle of last year (the tank was then up and running for a little over 1 year) it was getting too small...
LOL @ the last picture comment. It's a Canon, and there's nothing wrong with those. ;)
Aren't you afraid your Longnose "Elvis" will pick on your corals? :o Gorgeous specimen!!
So sorry for your loss. :(
Do you have hermits/crabs in your tank? If the fish was weak enough, and getting ready to die, hermits and/or other crabs can start cleaning up, as can bristleworms. But they leave healthy animals alone, at least in my experience.
I don't know about "everybody" staying home. My hubby's gotta work from home (he usually works in Newark), but my son's GF has a 1.5 hour delay ONLY, and she works at a local bank. :o
Nope. ;D As a matter of fact, I've been wanting a Ball Python for years and years. Unfortunately Alex is absolutely petrified/horrified of them. Good thing that my GF told me I can get one and keep her at her house. <evil grin>
Let me see if I get this straight:
You are currently running 2 X 150W MH + 2 X 96W PCs, with a total of 491Watts, correct?
If you use 8 X 54W T5s, you'll be using 432Watts.
How much money could you possibly be saving by reducing 59 Watts? ???
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my T5s, but if you're...
More than enough. :) Are you looking to buy used or new? Are you looking for a fixture or retro?
I use 8 X 80Watts T5s on my 180, and I have zero problems growing anything, including clams on the sandbed (Maxima & Crocea).
Jim, you never had any problems with your arrow crab? I LOVE how they look, but am somewhat leery they're gonna go on a rampage. :P (I have to admit I giggled when I read your description with the *sob*)
