    Running a tank with no filtration!!!! How long can this go on???

    Absolutely right. As long as there is rock and the water surface is breaking and you have good O2 exchange the tank alone has everything it needs.

    looking to add a fish

    Dottyback is a pretty mean fish. I doubt that would be on my list for a peaceful tank.

    sps dies in one day

    Our efflo, the lone survivor, had the tips burned off of it when we lost our SPS in September. The tips of that are rapidly recovering the bare/algae covered skeletin. I think there's one left that has visible death remaining. The new flesh is able to grow faster over the existing skeletin and...

    Which tank to buy?

    Re: new tank starting If you were to purchase everything new, expect it to cost you about 50$/g just to get setup. And then another few hundred a year in quality fish food, additives, replacement bulbs, etc. The tank is absolutely the cheapest thing about the hobby. Frugal is one thing, but if...

    Pocket wizards, Wacom Bamboo tablet, 80mm 1.4, killer tripod, flash bracket ... too bad Santa doesn't work for B&H. ;D Wendy, a something filter?! I'd love to try that one next time I see you! Nightsea gear is definitely a good one for the Santa list. Even the non-camera gear is fantastic. It...

    What's on your X-mas List?

    Bob, Nikon is now making a newer version of the 60mm micro (Nikon's word for macro) lens. It has internal focusing and the newer focus motor. It has ED (high end) glass and can get an inch closer to objects than the old version of this lens. The lens (if you can live with 60mm instead of 105mm)...

    Sulphur Denitrator question....

    As a matter of fact, they say to use dolomite instead of ARM because ARM has a higher "melting" point than the dolomite and more likely to go to mush. PH in the mid-high sixes is what we expected. Mine isn't running right now, so I couldn't tell you what it is.

    Sulphur Denitrator question....

    This is what should be happening in the denitrator (lowering of PH). You could put dolomite in there instead (or with) the ARM instead. We ran the dolomite instead of the ARM in there.

    cotton substance on dorsal of my koran angel

    Most of our LFSs run their water at 1.019. The lower salinity is easier on the fish (less stress) and harder on ich. Your fish can react to stressors (adding fish) by becoming symptomatic when they weren't before the addition. It may or may not have been the addition that introduced the ich...

    need help

    I like the 3rd and 5th best... but there's a bit toooo much depth of field. Too much in focus in front of and behind the acan. Can you thin that out some (lower f-stop)?
