Any special requirements to QT a wrasse. Should I be trying use pod condos or anything else out of the ordinary?

Funny you said Lysol because the smell of CoralRX always reminded me of Lestoil (sp?) and as for the smooth jazz I'd have preferred some commentary b/c I'm not sure I'd wanna go with getting all the red bugs and flat worms hopped up on nicotine and risk over doing it. I'd just end up with hoarse...

What's with the bad 70s chicka-bump-bump-bah-nah soundtrack?

Thanks for the tips - I can't say for sure what the bulbs were (the ones swapped out) - they came with the tank package when I bought it last fall - they weren't used until late this summer and (like everyone always says) they had "3 months of use" - well I had it in my head to change them or...

I have 2 small tiles with zoas and a small rock with palys. A few months back I added a Singapore Angel that I had “rescued” and it seemed to be harassing the 1 zoa tile – “whacky watermelons” - they were red. It seemed to leave the green apples and the metallic green palys alone. It also...

Sadly just a tease :( Funny how vastly different impressions of what = "south jersey" depending on where you're from...

One point I was trying to clarify with how my setup was different. Normally the setup is Kalk reactor --> top off container --> sump/tank. The AquaMedic is designed to go the other way. Mine is top off container --> Kalk reactor --> sump/tank. This is why I said upfront that I wasn't sure how...

don't underestimate how lazy I am – the street address for the house i grew up in was 231 - can't forget that # and the calculator is literally closer than my keyboard and probably less work then going to the RC and looking for the .... I've already typed too much

My setup is a bit larger (90=40 sump but with rock, sand, equipment, etc I guess I'm at 110 total so 2x yours) but i would guess I have more evaporation with the larger volume and relative to really large systems I don't think ours are that different. makes sense though that you're being...

Not sure I did it right but I've been using mine for about 3-4 weeks now. My Kalk reactor is a bit unusual - I posted here and elsewhere and never found anyone using it - it's an AquaMedic and it uses a small circulation pump to stir and you can stir 24/7 because the top off pumps through the...

You can calculate the water volume in gallons by (in inches) (length x width x height)/231 so 48" x 13" x 21"=13104/231=56.7 gallons ... oh and welcome aboard.... :)

Basically I'm trying to upgrade -my current isn't a cone (I think that's the NAC7) the 6 is ok but mostly just a cup of slightly green SW to empty each day. There is some skimate that builds up on the skimmer neck which I wash off every now and again. The PM seemed like a good bargain and that's...

Thanks Paul - I was just reading up on that - found a .pdf of the manual and I wasn't sure what to make of that - obviously if that is the case than my thought process does have to change a bit. What I had read initially said it could be run out-of or in-sump - which I guess is technically...

guess I should add that I plan on running either choice in-sump

sorry to hear Paul. I'm sure it was just the Hippo's time. Looks like time had already taken a hefty toll by the time you rescued him. I'm guessing you added close to three years. (maybe he was just “dipping out” in advance of the Mayan predictions of the end of the world)

I’m looking to upgrade my skimmer (currently I have a Bubble Magus 6 on a ~125 total system volume) I’ve come across 2 options and they seem pretty similar but I was hoping to get some opinion from anyone who has some experience or knowledge of either. Choice A: a Precision Marine Bullet II...

Use an angle- grinder w/ a tile cutting blade to take the glazing off the finished side before you drill out the plugs. I did this to the entire floor of the room w/ my tank before I poured the SLU. Obviously easier with tiles secured down (DUSTY as all get-up) but nothing a bench vise couldn't...

Is there any reason why they have to be sliced? Could you just throw some in a food processor and freeze small cubes? (I reuse trays from blood worms and mysis) I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to add clams as an ingredient but is there a benefit or rationale to the slicing approach?

Haven't touched it yet. I'll have to check that out...

Any guess what I might have here – I tend to think these random forms of life that “pop” up are cool and I like to think they’re a “good” thing. Anyway, every time I find something and EVERYTIME I post it, turns out it’s a deadly killer something or other so I figured I’d start tring to figure...
