Dave, I wonder if the clam shells and decomposing back into the water. Unless there is high flow past them, I wouldn't think that could happen because the PH that would take would be detrimental to your other animals. Your Ca being so high would definitely explain the haze. It would be the Ca...

GSM get pretty big and fairly agressive. What size tank do you have?

Re: NEW ARRIVALS: ORA SPS FRAGS (and ORA FISH) Very interesting point, Dr. Jim. I do think that if it is inbreeding that is causing this variant then indeed we should be quite wary. Maybe not today, but slowly, surely, over time the quality will degrade. Possibly so slowly we don't see it...

It will take up to 10m or so for them to find it in the tank (especially if it is kept in the sump of the same system). If you were to keep it separate they would smell it immediately upon putting it into the tank. The first time we put one in from the sump we were amazed at how much longer it...

Erna, Madison is in our thoughts and prayers. What a frightening thing to go through. Thankfully they've identified it early and it can be controlled with diet (as hard as that can be with toddlers). I just read through the page you linked. It looks like she can be asymptomatic, even though she...

We throw our starfish in whole. The regenerate thing doesn't seem to happen fast enough and they really need a whole starfish per [insert period of time here depending on size]. I always knew that when mine were not hiding it was because they were hungry and needed to be fed. They won't...

It looks, for the most part, like it is dying from the bottom up. Typical STN. The one stalk that looks gray looks stable and like it probably won't lose any more flesh, but the one that looks whiter looks like it is on its way out yet. Even so, I'd be inclined to leave it. With my crash I saw a...

Sounds like it has a better chance with you than with most as you seem very committed to getting it what it needs. Good luck keeping it and thanks for being so dilligent! Yes, it is so important NOT to impulse buy!

Great shot, Merv!

Wetsuit. ;D

Tom, we're looking forward to seeing you and the boys. Tell Steve I said Hi! LOL! With the speaker and great dinner it will be a great time if we're 20 or 200 (well alright, we'll only be 100 tops since that's all the room holds anyway)! It really is nice to be able to relax and enjoy the...

You can use distilled water to mix the saltwater for the cycle. That will due just fine until you get your RO/DI installed. You can also usually pick it up at LFS (but call in advance to be sure). I think you can pick it up at Aquaticu Obsessions, I don't know about the rest of our sponsors...

How unlike you. No wonder I was confused. So this job change has been fun then?

Baking or boiling is going to create some NASTY smell. Although anyhting that you do to cause them to re-cycle is going to let off some awful smell. It would be interesting to see what would happen to a piece of that rock if you soaked in in super saturated Kalk solution. Would it have the same...

Wow. I thought I responded to this. They are a sponsor here on NJRC. The company is new, but the people have been tank builders for many years. They built the aquariums that NY Aquarium Service used at our swap and the tanks were GORGEOUS! They were TOTAL works of art. I'm sure those guys could...

You can receive PMs. I don't know of any users with greater than 10 posts who are having a problem PMing.

Hmm. Seems like you got your wish already, Bill?! Who asks for world hunger?!

LOL. While I hate to ruin a good post count, I just can't help myself...
