That's the one Sunny linked. It actually is more purple/pink than red, but they are called red and black cucumbers.

Also realize that once the asterina's are gone (and the two other stars you have), you'll need to now start to buy starfish to keep the Harlequin alive.

I've had asterina starfish for years without issue. What was told to be is that if they are light colored....white to tan....they are reef safe. If they are dark in color, keep an eye on them...might not be reef safe.

At low tide, you can walk Shark River bay area. I know first hand when I was sailing in the bay area while the tide was going out.....and ended up walking the sailboat back when the center board started bottoming out. I would think a mask and snorkel would be good enough in Shark River....in...

Thanks again folks for the warm words. Here's the final assessment. My red and black cucumber committed suicide in one of the MP40's, releasing it's entrails to the tank. The following shall be remembered as upstanding members of the community...... One Yellow Tang One Scopus Tang Two...

Thanks for the kind words and offers for help, but I'm good with the carbon changes and 50 gallon water change. Corals look a bunch better. I've only been able to pull out the yellow tang. Other then the two clowns, back to swimming normal, I can't find any other fish: 2 pajama cardinals...

Russell, thanks for the offer, but I'm good with reactors and carbon. Anthony, that's my guess as well....The cuc nuked the tank. The only two fish I can see are the clowns...that are still alive. The Tangs are dead and suspect everyone else is as well.....don't see them. I'll wait...

Not looking good. Just changed out the carbon....three cups. Any fish I could see is on the sandbed....and it's odd the wrasse hasn't buried itself....lights are out. I'm at a total lose!

Temperature fine. No significant stray voltage. Circulation fine. Can't find my red and black cucumber...and that scares me.

I just went into the fish room to feed and saw the corals po'ed and the wrasse and two tangs on the bottom of the tank, and the clowns acting real funny. The only thing I could see is that my ATO crapped out and pumped maybe three gallons of water into a total of maybe 110 -120 gallons...

No rubber! Get polyethylene tubing from HD....you can purchase 25 feet for less than five bucks.

I have the BRS 1.1 dosing pumps....they are rock solid. These are controlled by an antique Reefkeeper II to dose three times a day. I haven't investigate yet, but I'm pretty sure the Reefkeeper burped. I'll look at it tomorrow.

So I refill my alkalinity and calcium containers for the auto-dosers, and two days later my calcium container is empty (one gallon)! I'm not sure why.....maybe my antique ReefKeeper has gone "HAL" on me (....for you guys/gals too young, a 2001 Space Odyssey reference). So I spent the...

Chris, good to know....but don't the dimmable Apollos use Meanwell drivers? It's us poor folk who have the none dimmable Apollo's who can't find the right replacement drivers.

Make a bubble algae vacuum.....it's simple. Use a piece of rigid tubing a little longer than the depth of your tank. Attach this to flexible tubing long enough to reach a bucket. Start a siphon and start sucking the algae out. If the rigid tubing is plastic, cut the tip at an angle to...

Agree with those.....definitely not enough wattage. I started with two, 300 W heaters on my 90DT with 40B sump. I think I replaced one of the heaters with a 250W when the one 300W died.

Agree with what @downbeach had to say. I'd also see if you could have someone else test you water with their test kits. Otherwise I'm not sure what I could add. Maybe check for stray voltage???

They are nylon....and I got them at HD....but my local HD and the few in the area no longer carry them. They use to be in "Hardware" in the drawers. Not sure if Lowe's carries them or not.

Nice DIY.....good job! I actually us a probe holder for my pH probe in my sump. Many don't realize that you can NOT submerge a pH probe or get it wet on the top side. It will ruin the probe. Here's a pic of my probe hold when I was building the sump. Again, great DIY and nicely...
