    On-Going Alk Doser problem

    FYI - Calcium is a bootch and a pita to dissolve anywhere. CPPD on joints, gallstones, oxidate as kidney stones, etc. If its occurring on a line thats in the tank itself you could try decreasing pH to hit around 7. If it clogging in the line the only 2 ways i can think are: 1. Decrease the...

    Copepod explosion

    Agree with Boeh, just dose a bit of phyto, but even if you dont they’ll live off detritus. The wrasse will love em as a treat and secondary food source and to keep hunting skills up. A mandarin eats nothing but, will strip the 13 clean in hours, and would starve in the 75 in a couple weeks...

    Can finally show tank shots…

    D - Its a tiny one. 30g 3’ long, 12” deep and high. Still want to get a few more things in so this time I’m going to make room in lieu of occasionally upping in size to 120. Got a gladiator clown, purple fire, lyretail, neon goby, orchid dotty, and there was a leopard wrasse in there about 6...

    Can finally show tank shots…

    Thanks Chris. Yeah, she does that trying to mug me for my lunch money. Only works about 73% of the time. Also, if those last pictured zoas are of value (I’m under impression they are) I can frag them up and give away a bunch, $0. If not valuable, or no interest, I’ll just let them grow. Also...

    Can finally show tank shots…

    So I turned a corner after a year and things have finally fallen in line. There were about 5-6 ‘pack it up’ thoughts over the past year. PS If anyone knows what those guys are in the last shot, please inform, they’re growing like weeds.

    Chiller

    +1 for fan over sump (or over back compartment in an aio) A simple fan drops my tank temp by about 5 degrees in my aio 30g But it does cause a crazy amount of evaporation (about 3x normal) I'm using this one here (but there are a ton of others, just type in aquarium fan on Amazon)...

    Red Sea ReefLED 90

    If you're going to buy another Red Sea, call them first. A lot of these places will offer a substantial 'loyalty discount' on a replacement for an out of warranty item.

    Free landscape plants

    Tempted to take you up on this. I redesigned the entire outside 2 years back and though my front beds are coming in fantastic, the beds around the side of the house are a bit sparse.

    Snooze and lose. I wnat them, but I didn't want to step on Momof6 if she was considering, so I played diplomatic to not rush her or make her feel pressured. Then goat stepped on us both. If it falls through with him, and if Momof6 doesn't take them, I will. Thanks, Mark 201-467=1771

    PetCo Sale

    I ordered a Tanaka's Wrasse from them a few years back when they had trouble getting one in the store for whatever reason. It arrived well packed and healthy, but, as Joe said, it was not in Petco packaging. This was a few years ago. I know people oft talk of the Brick Petco (and rightly so) as...

    Shouts to my boy Amado !!

    Ah. My love hate relationship with the tank is over and I can stop doing the 'casual aquarium stand shopping while out doing other things'. Beauty of a tank, good luck with it.

    Any lizard keepers need a roach colony?

    I got a big thriving colony, and the chameleon has decided he doesn't like them. A few thousand dubious with clean up crew and food in a small tote. Lemme know.

    Well, I looked like an idiot...

    So, I'm a chiropractor and have been specializing in upper cervical techniques for the past 2 years. We're doing some research into aphasia and setting up communications with neurologists and other professionals to share info. It's a pretty complex and not well understood (yet) pathology to an...

    $100 Oceanic 50 gallon reef ready tank

    Looks like its too big for my stand. Remember seeing it, its a great tank. If I find a solution I might be interested but don't hold for me as I'm mostly forgetful and lazy.
