    recommendation corals for beginners of Nano 24g?

    It is VERY beautifull. You should see my FW tank - I haven't changed water or fed my fish (tons of guppies, mollies, platis etc) or trimmed plants for years. It is jungle inside. Talk about being lazy ;D

    anyone successfully *control* majanos?

    I had one majano hitchiker couple of years ago and bunch of peppermint shrimps that would not touch it. I guess it is acquired taste ;)

    New Whale Sharks at Georgia Aquarium !!!! and other Stuff

    While whale sharks are not so good swimmers (slow and not so efficient) due to their feeding mechanism and even though they are feeding primarily from plankton at the top of water column, I agree it is a shame to keep them there because it does not match their natural habitat at all. Not to...

    recommendation corals for beginners of Nano 24g?

    Tell him that salt water and reef tank specially is NOT for him. If keeping FW tank was too much work for him then SW is definitively not for him. Just cleaning the salt creep from that stand and the wals behind will drive him nuts (not to mention that it will ruin the stand) if trimming the...

    Real or fake?

    There are two types of "fake" : a) completely CG. Today's top notch software can generate precisely those imperfections for precisely that purpose. Just look at any of the Hollywood movies and you will see tons of those CG images of fire, smoke, waves and hordes of warriors and animals. b)...

    The suddenly reclusive firefish

    Usual recommendation is rearrangement of rocks, or something to disorient their territoriality (if it is the territoriality question).

    Real or fake?

    Well, :) I have some other reasons (clues) to believe that sunset itself is not fully genuine as well, but then I don't want to spoil the fun for others. Also, I have witnessed some really strange and fascinating atmospheric sights myself, so, in the end, I might be wrong and this can be really...

    Real or fake?

    I can't say for the whole picture if it is completely CG or real or composition, but this particular piece is definitively "doctored" in some way. The "bleeding" of the illuminated sky (between clouds) into that pole is very obvious:

    WATER CIRCULATION

    Also, remember that what pumps these pumps are normally rated for is for 0 height. You need to find what flow rate that particular pump has at the height that it needs to pump the water to. For example, my mag 9.5 is rated at 950 gal/h at 0' height but only 750 at 5' which is the height it had...

    anyone going to deepwater?

    I am going to meet him after work today for some possible purchase (meaning I will be bringing a cooler). I can bring stuff for you if you can pick it from my place tomorrow (plainsboro). Give me a call at 609-575-0005 if intersted.

    My RBTA split

    I have heard about that too, but I have to seriously question that logic. Splitting decreases odss of survival because a) the energy is used (wasted) on splitting b) you now have two organisms to compete for exactly the same resources that were not sufficient for one.

    My RBTA split

    Here is an interesting article from a guy who was actually experimenting what triggers anemone splitting, and seem to have hit on somehing: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/inverts/cnidaria/anthozoa/bubbletipanemones.htm Of course what worked for him might not neccessarily work for rest of...

    Help with Pixelation

    :) I certainly didn't imply replacing the bulbs ;D, rather, maybe, turning the blue ones off. And you can allways add more like external light. Strictly speaking, and assuming that you don't have the full control of the color composition of a shooting subject (which we do not have in most cases...

    Help with Pixelation

    I am sorry Greg, but I have to very strongly disagree with this. Keeping on such low ISO will only force him to use longer exposures which will just blur the picture. Keeping it on ISO 800 will give you the sharpness of arrested motion Phyllis, if you are talking about the bright sand in the...

    How do I kill these worms?

    Send the e-mail to guys at http://www.wetwebmedia.com/WWMAdminSubWebIndex/question_page.htm Maybe they can help identify the worms and suggest the method for killing them.

    overflow is working, but now I need help with sump/skimmer :)

    What puzzles me is why is the sump designed to use only 1/3 of its volume? How about extending the bafles a bit and adding some additional volume of water in it. System gets more water, more margin for evaporation/topoff, solutions etc, and the middle compartment becomes twice bigger so now you...
