    To Vista or not to Vista...

    Candi, Drop by my house with your computer and some of those mysis shrimp and I'll hook that computer up for ya. Reformatting people's busted computers is a bit of a hobby. ;)

    To Vista or not to Vista...

    If you reformat and reinstall xp, but without all the additional trash, or 'bloatware' that dell puts on a computer, you're going to be so happy with your computer's performance.

    water temp

    29g, hood with open back and 175w halide. I use a clip on fan (7 inch) in the hood and my temp stays ~80-82 during the day and my heater keeps it ~80 at night. Works good for this kid!

    Acclimation techniques....Lots of questions ??????

    Depends what it is. Mushrooms, zoas, softies go right in the tank. LPS I usually do the 'put coral in bowl with own water, and slowly add water with a cup from my tank and then plop them in'. SPS I don't really have any experience with, as I only have 2 pieces, and they both went in the same...

    This coral is doing great under new 20k bulb

    I got this coral a LONG time ago (for me 6-7 months is a long time) and it was under all sorts of bulbs (and more often than not, knocked around by my old turbo snails), but when i changed to 20k on the metal halide the other day, she started to look like this EVERY day. I've also been keeping...

    It's hard to "breed" live mysis/mysid? Not in my tanks!

    Candi, One of these days, if our paths cross, can I have a lil' scoop full of those? :-*

    Controlling Bubble Algae

    Ok, I guess the point I was trying to make is that because of the ro/di, the small amount of feeding and the macroalgaes, I would think there would be very little nutrients left for the bubble algae, and I was wondering if it will just go away on it's own, the way the hair algae did.

    Controlling Bubble Algae

    Will bubble algae just 'go away' once it's nutrients are depleted, like hair and the rest of the nusiance algaes? My hair algae is finally gone, but I have a lot of bubble algae on a rock that isn't easy to get out of the tank. I have very low nutrients in my tank, and halimedia and chaeto...

    Talk on Temps

    I don't know about the corals, but when my tank gets to the mid 80s, nuisance algae sure does a lot better in my tank.

    Have we become slaves to parameters?

    Now that my ro/di has finally kicked in, and the only algae left in my tank is chaeto, halimedia and bubble (note lack of hair in the list ;)) I've started to watch 3 parameters: Alk/Mg/Ca 2 days ago, My mg was ~1100, Ca was 340 and Alk was ~6 dKh I added 10 mL of 2 Fishies A&B Yesterday Mg...

    My tank website

    If there's any way you can make the cursor a pointer, or change somehow, when you mouse over a clickable link, that'd be nice. Looks good though...I want frag #1. Where are you located? ;)

    Suggestions for another fish?

    Yeah, I was a little bummed to find out about the possible aggressiveness when I got home. There's two kinds of flamebacks, and this one is said to be the most aggressive of all the dwarf angels. Oh well, The only other fish are 2 chromies and 2 clowns. The chromies i might remove, and the...
