i think im gonna force myself to make one today...if i go pick up a jumper and bring it home, ill have no choice but to stand over my tank and make one ;D
i gotta tread lightly here cuz i dont want to offend but i went to AO this weekend and was really disappointed in what i saw...the place was not what i expected
nevermind, just found their web page...and the thread in here. i hope the corals are as sweet as what they posted in sept. im hoping trop is still having the 13$ frag sale too...the ones i got this past weekend are doing really well. the tricolor acro is real perrty. now im looking for a...

last night the the mrs and i went to a few shops down my way and picked up a target mandarin and i almost had a blue spot jaw bagged up when the guy said "make sure all the corners are covered and there are no openings...." yep, i gotta finish my screen...

one thing with most of that is they say to frige after openining to prevent rapid deterioration, but there is no way of knowing how long it was on the shelf and the temps the bottle went through in transit. i think im just gonna have to learn how to set up a phyto tank and grow my own if it can...
hayward chlorinators have a fitting that works well with the curve of the container. also, you dont need to thread it because it comes with a rubber washer and saddle clamp and hose.

i was using brightwell phyto green and jsut picked up marine snow.....i wasnt aware it was just dead stuff. i guess ive been giving the corals garbage for the past year. is it safe to say that since its worthless stuff, and the corals look great they dont need it? i thought carnations and non...
welp, there goes my 2 bottles out the window...guess ill have to get some live phyto...who sells the reef nutrition phyto? if its as good as oyster and rotti im all for it. once a tank is mature does it produce its own phyto?
