Was at the mall in Eatontown and my sonm talked me into stopping at the dreaded Petco for reptile supplies. While there I peeked at the fish selection which is half the size it was. They have a fairy Wrasse for $19.99 that looks similar to this...
I have mixed some Kalk and my question is...
After it mixes and settles could I pour the mixture through some cheese cloth or a coffee filter to remove the sediment? This way I can drip dose and avoid clogging or excess kalk in my tank.

Well I have confirmed that my Flame Angel has a taste for some SPS corals such as Pocillpora and the Green Slimer frag I won at the meeting. I won't be getting rid of it as it's my favorite fish.
Hate to hijack here but saw something that caught my eye. It stated that RODI should be 0/2 for use. I have a brand new RODI and my tap measures 137 and the best I could get from the unit was 5/6. Are you syaing that this isn't good enough to use? Am I just wasting my time making water?
I am thinking of dripping Kalk to keep the calcium constant. It is currently 360ppm but after a water change it is 400ppm. I have Kalk and an IV drip bag. I was planning on hanging it from the DT and drip it into the sump. Is this a good idea? I don’t have money or space for a reactor. I keep...
I just acquired this fish, literally a an hour ago. Don't ask how, to long to explain. Anyway, I was told it's a Purple Chromis. Only, Saltwaterfish.com has any info but not much and can't find more on it. Pic below.
During the November meeting while Phyl was giving the photo presentation I thought these ideas are great if you had a nice expensive camera. Well, when I got home she inspired to dig out the extremely dusty manual to my Olympus camera. To my surprise it has settings for macro and super macro...
I purchased this Green tyree from Candi and it did great for a week. I noticed a crab, some type of mithrax, bothering it. It took several days to catch the crab. The coral hasn't extended polyps in about 4 days now. You can see the chunks of flesh the crab tour off on the top of the pics. What...
Does anyone know the name /kind/ brand of putty that is sold at Lowes or Home Depot that I can use to glue some frags? Andy mentioned it yesterday but I don't remember. Thanks
I am trying to catch a Mithrax crab in ny DT. He eats much algea but has been nipping at my Pavona frag and green toadstool frag. It stays in the rocks so I can't net it out. Anyone know how to build a trap to catch it? I don't the othet fish ton be able to go inside it.
Thanks,

Currently, I have a Berlin Classic skimmer and was thinking of picking this up used, kent nautilus te protein skimmer . Is there a significant difference between the two?
Thanks,

I noticed lately that when I put my hand in the tank I get what seems like an electric shock under my finger nails. Not very strong but enough for me to notice. At first I thought it was a cut under my nail as it partially ripped off. I would expect a burn not a shock if it was the cut. Any...
Does anyone know anything about this skimmer? I was thinking of getting it and adding it as an extra. I can get it cheap.

Okay, Phil let me borrow his TDS meter today and the reading I get from the faucet is 137ppm. Does that sound normal? Tomorrow I will test the RO water.
After speaking with other members and checking out thier setup I belive it was hooked up incorrcetly. So, I have a red tube which goes from the faucet to one of the large vertical chambers on the end. The orange tube has a switch which I think is the waste water and the blue one should be the...
Can someone tell me why the RO unit is not producing water. I am suppose to be in an area that has high water pressure. I am using the garden hose adapter on an outside faucet. Its been connected now for 20min and nothing.
