    Domino Damsels

    Way cool! You must be feeding your tank blackworms! ;D I love damsels, wish I had time, money and room for an unlimited amount of tanks. I am still wrestling with the idea of raising my clown fry food. I have everything I need except active food cultures. Decisions, decisions! ::)

    SHOULD I TREAT MY SEAHORSE WITH PARASITE CLEAR?

    Well, as long as the thread is hijacked; Hey Matt how ya doing? You to Greg! ;D And getting back to seahorses, they have been tempting me lately. All the parasite stuff and live foods give me concerns. I need to learn more. Maybe a trip to seahorses.org is in order! ;D

    Letting your saltwater age for a water change ??????

    24 hours minimum with pump, airstone and heater. I do weekly changes and usually top off and add salt to my 55g barrel right after the water change. So in general I age it a week.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I agree and practice the full barrel of saltwater policy Jim! I also keep one of RODI at all times as well. Sorry the pump saga continues. You were lucky to have the best of the best available for backup duty though!

    You got it! It's the least I can do considering I gave up the club jobs to focus on ministry. ;)

    Frogspawn care

    As long as you have been handling it so much, give it a quick iodine dip. Then put it somewhere with low to moderate flow, moderate light, nothing touching it and leave it alone. In a couple of days squirt some mysis near it after you have fed the rest of the tank and see if you get a feeding...

    August Meeting-Thank you!

    Sorry I was MIA, but we hosted 50 people for my father-in-laws 80th birthday. It was almost like we hosted a meeting. I spent a good part of the day explaining the tanks. ;D

    On Vacation

    I looked at my bypass operation in a similar way, but unfortunately I was self-employed at the time. ::)

    Question for Paul B-Anyone ??

    Well I don't know if it was fresh or salt, but my takeout sashimi came with fish roe the other night. And although it was tasty, I decided to save it for the reef. The fish went nuts! My new leopard wrasse is eating great, but she started with the roe and blackworms. Glad PaulB found us. His...

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    He is definitely out and about to be seen, but he does look like a little fish in a big pond. ;D I haven't seen any cleaning activity yet, he hangs out around the seaweed clip a lot. He's pretty aggressive when it comes time to chase food.

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    Some quick updates. Added an EcoTech Marine MP40w and removed the 4 maxijets. I'm running lagoon mode at about 1/3 speed. Corals are doing great and I do see better but still gentle flow in many areas that needed more. I wish it was a bit quieter though. Maybe it's taking a bit longer to break...
