    Coral Food Recommendations

    I don't see a way to edit a post, but had a couple of thoughts on the reefburger-it's live microbes, doesn't affect any other type of food/ feeding. You put in tank water about a half hour before use- so I can use it for those filter feeders who dine after dark with no spot feeding- I'll see I guess

    Coral Food Recommendations

    Clove polyps

    Unless they wither completely they are not dead. I have blue polyps that were closed for over a week- and they still close up for a while now and then

    Clove polyps

    One of mine opened this morning- a couple others look like they may open soon, but all that survived the mail are still plump- so I'm hopeful

    Coral Food Recommendations

    I switched from Reefroids to Benepets and have no more issues with phosphates. Has anyone heard of/ used Marc Weiss reef bugs?

    What a world we live in

    I was surprised to learn that it's illegal there to keep corals. This guy has a 120gal tank, uses water from the sea and keeps mostly fish, a couple of inverts and some live rock. Of course his fish are from local divers

    Cheato Experiment

    Unbelievable. I don't even remember when I mailed it. I don't even get any mail lately- it's all getting forwarded to my son in Boston- same last name- his middle name is my first- doesn't make any sense to me at all

    how to glue plexiglass and water seal it?

    I think you have to use a solvent to bond acrylic- someone here will tell you what to use I'm sure. I've used 'aquarium safe silicone' for making in tank sumps- anything that doesn't have pressure on it- wouldn't trust any silicone for sealing acrylic against water pressure

    Clove polyps

    I got mine in the mail ( overnight ) and was not enthused by how they looked- the water had turned brown- like the baywater after a storm. I was not able to acclimate them- just rinsed a few times with tank water. I put them in a net hanging from the side of the tank overnight, then took what...

    Clove polyps

    Got mine in a net right now- trying to come up with an idea to put them in something with rubble so they just don't float around in the tank

    Banded Shrimp

    I'm waiting for a couple of fish pairs to become available on KPaquatics and thought about adding banded shrimps to my DT- they offer a mated pair ( I'm such a romantic lol )- any problems with them- fish/ coral or rock/substrate- the only glue in my tank are on the frags ( but not to rock ) I...

    Nano tank

    Have you thought about doing you're own AIO- a 40B isn't that expensive and the stuff to make it an AIO will cost you under $100- I did it- some others here have too- we can help

    Back from the 'dead' for round 2

    The new/old one found the other one- can they sense/ smell another one in the tank? I don't think it remembers lol- now they're playing cat and mouse. I took the rock out of the corner that was 'home' but both keep going back to that area- trying to figure out how to get them out of the back...
