I agree with Rich in what he just said. It surely looks like the same piece to me. It's going to be really tough for the average person to get colors like those exotic places since we don't run the intense lighting they do. I'll take 90%-95% of the color and save on the electric bill anyday...

It's a pain to do but not really that hard. You'll be glad you did it later. Carlo

They are some of my favorite fish. That was a really good pic of it. Carlo PS what camera/lens did you use for those pics?

Try a combination of an old toothbrush and the turkey blaster. You should be able to get the outside of the rocks pretty well with the toothbrush. You might be surprised how much stuff collects inside the rocks too. Hold the turkey blaster right up to some of the holes and squirt it. You'll see...

I stopped using RO water and won't buy bottled water anymore. I now strictly use tap water for drinking and cooking. The World Dental Congress and The American Dental Association have said: "People think tap water is "not safe," and begin drinking and cooking with bottled water, with...

That purple firefish almost looks "mad" in that shot. Nice pics. Carlo

Foam Fractioning (protein skimmer), Carbon, Chem-pure, Purigen, Ozone and UV can all help clear the water. If you already have a protein skimmer setting it to skim a little wetter will take more out of the water. Adding Carbon or Chem-pure or Purigen (my favorite) in a small reactore, canister...

I had some stuff growing on a few rocks that I wasn't sure about. I took the drastic approach and put them in the oven for an hour at 350 (it stunk). I then treated them like uncured rock and "cured" them again before putting them back in the tank. It did the trick. I've got a couple of pieces...

Oh man, good catch Billy. That section should read: "If you are presently at 15 amps with 12 gauge wire, you should be able to go to a 20 amp breaker without problem. If you look at the wire going into the slot where the breaker is you should be able to tell if it's 12 or 14 gauge wire. If 10...

volk23, you could try a couple of things. 1. just replace the present outlet with a gfci outlet 2. don't mess with the electric outlets at all if you aren't comfortable doing it. Plug in one or two of these into your present outlet: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=TW39013...

Maybe he wants to trade algea? erid, any chance you can get a closeup picture to give us something to look at? Carlo

Nice pics right up to the time there was this ugly guy in them (sorry couldn't resist). Seriously, those are simply beautiful. And to think, your camera does work without a macro lens. :)

OK Cool Phyl. I just didn't know if you were aware of the "potential" problem or not. I know it snuck me and took me a while to figure it out. :) Dolimite isn't a very commonly talked about thing around here so I just thought I'd mention it so you were aware. I ran CC in the 2nd chamber also...

Phyl & John, It just occurred to me why I stopped using dolomite in my reactor. Hopefully you won't have the same problem I did but it looks like you may be on the same course. I just noticed that your alk is at 11.2dKH which is at the top of the normally exceptable range. You are going to...

Which zoas are they mott?

You could always make up a little homemaid "gift certificate" good for a one week stay at Disneyland/Cinderella's castle for next year. You could even put a deposit down on the trip with a travel agent and setup a monthly payment schedule with them. Many will do this while others won't. Or just...

The main thing to keeping the Kalk mix useable is to keep it airtight as much as possible. The more it is exposed to air the quicker it degrades. If left open it will be useless in a day or so. You can mix it up for about a weeks worth at a time. To give you an idea. Most of us who run kalk...

I tried various dosages of Levamisole per different threads and reading materials. I tried using it as dips and as long exposure baths. It just seemed that regardless of how I did it, that it either wasn't strong enough to kill off the worms or strong enough to kill the worms but then also some...

Everything is looking good except your pH at this point. The pH is borderline low and could use a lift. Do you have the refugium up and running with Cheato now? Are you running the lights on 24hrs or on an opposite light schedule from your display? It looks like a Kalk/Limewater drip will help...

One word for you: Jewelry :)
