Steve, can you see if your flame has fluke on the skin? I dipped my yellow tang many years ago for 2 minutes in the same temperature water in freshwater (not deionized) and they fell off. He showed slight paleness, but in half an hour, he was fine.

I'd love have this piece of Live rock in my tank! A very brown montipora?

This fish was AWESOME!!!

I was trying to catch this guy for almost 5 minutes: Didn't see this guy as I was swimming around until the last minute: Better pics of the school: Wrasses:

The camera was an Olympus C770W I think. It's capable of 10m depth. It goes for around 250-300 these days, as my camera is a year old. It doesn't take the greatest pics above water (most of the pics out of water were from my D200), but it does a fabulous job underwater.

Ready for battle :) This was exposed for at least 2-3 hours.

Here's a very shaky video since I was being tossed by the current

Things I learned swimming in the reefs: The reefs had algae, mostly calcareous though The corals are mostly brown (due to light being filtered by the seawater) The gorgonians and filter feeders are more colorful There are fish EVERYWHERE! Very shallow, in some cases are exposed to the...

I just got back on Friday from vaca. Went to Grand Cayman. I still got a TON of photos to sort through and a handful of reef videos taken with my trusty underwater olympus hand held camera. For now, here are a few teaser photos of where we went.... more to come in the next few days... first...

Hey Boomer! I know there are a some guys goin' What browser were you using? Jus' curious...

The tank has a greater surface area for evaporation*, so it would have a better impact there. Most people including myself have it blowing over the sump... *unless your sump is wider and longer than your main tank

nope, they'll get too hard by then. one more: When you get your frags, mount them directly on a small piece of live rock rubble with superglue gel (they have them now at home depot for like 20 small tubes for $6). Let that sit for a little while to set, and then what I do is take the epoxy...

tried the sand route before, multiple times, it didn't work for me; I've been BB in the tank since then. then, a few months ago, I added sand in the sump. I wanted to see if adding more organics would color up the SPS better..... Yesterday, I called it quits with the sand so I stayed up till...

My skimmer wasn't skimming as good last week. Same this week. Some days it was nice and rich, some days it overflowed back in the tank (I have the effluent dump in a 2 liter bottle inside the sump just in case it overflowed) since I have an autotopoff. I had the windows open both weeks since...

if kept in control, not too bad. When they start growing all over the place, yes they will. Manual removal is pretty easy though, but I've had some Halimeda before too and they just kind of die off after a little while.

To each his own love, matt. I almost look at SPS as some kind of underwater Bonsai garden. It takes a lot of patience and perseverance and did I mention patience in giving the corals time to grow, cutting them so they don't get too close, forming or mounting them to rocks that speed up their...

by the way, if you remind me on thursday morning, i can bring the camera and 60 mm macro so we can get a sweet closeup on the buggers.
