    Need some advice (New tank build)

    i haven't used the caribsea life rock, so can't speak to that. but i am a big fan of than thien's thin super glue and sand method to make a solid structure. it makes some surprisingly strong connections that i haven't had topple. i'm also a big fan of using a 1/2" masonry bit to drill holes for...

    Nj FragFest Haul

    i should have talked to the reef nutrition and dinkins folks, but it was so hard to focus on anything with so much hot coral around. really saw some amazing chalices at the second or third vendor on the right when you walked in the door. either david's aquarium or rhino reef, not sure which...

    Need brains

    its hard to diagnose without seeing stuff. you used the words "regression and then died." how fast did they regress? i keep different parameters then you do, but if you dial your lights back to 30%, i'd say throw a low light, easy lps frag in there, like a caulastrea (candy can) or duncan, etc...

    Need brains

    i hope the light solves the issue for you and it may take a month or more for your toadstool to recover. i recently put a goniopora in too much light, back in november. it looked okay for the first day, but by the third day the polyps weren't even coming out of the corallites at all. i had put...

    Need brains

    he's also getting some light from each source, most likely. at any rate, i promise you, less light won't kill him.

    Need brains

    i would try turning the light's down to 30 or 35% for a month or more too. not opening sounds like they don't want the light available to me, especially a leather at center. if they open you can work that back up slowly. it probably won't hurt to run some carbon either, in case the angry...

    Discussion on chemicals

    i've used carbon, regular and high capacity gfo, chemipure elite and phospHATE (lanthanum chloride most likely) all before. with the exception of carbon, i try not to use any of them if i don't have too. i'm only using carbon and sometimes gfo right now. i've also used purigen too, but that's...

    New beach in inlet ( point pleasant)

    i saw that up close on friday heading out of inlet. just one of the many fruits of beach replenishment. the corp will pump it back out to where the dredge can pick it back up to put it back on the beach for the longshore current to move it back in the inlet.

    Need some help with Flatworms from fellow reefers

    i've done the manual removal and added a wrasse to get rid of them before and it works. manually really helps knock down the numbers and the a wrasse like melanurus or six-line will help finish the job. just used a piece of hard acrylic tubing at the tip of an airline hose and started a siphon...
