    Why can't I send PM's?

    You should be able to PM as long as you enter the code properly. If you aren't getting 5 characters keep asking for another set until you have 5 characters showing.

    My Green Bubble Coral needs help!

    Good point about the Mg. All of my LPS tends to react adversely (including my Frogs) when the Mg is low.

    ;D I should have known you'd be on top of it!

    Kalk dripping

    Tom (resisting the desire to call you Steve), wouldn't you then also need to theoretically subtract out the rock volume?

    Kalk dripping

    Greg, were you letting it settle out and using only clear water in your IV bag?

    Kalk dripping

    For Kalk, "they" say that you should mix it and then let it settle. Then pour off the clear liquid into your top off device. If you're trying to super-saturate your solution "they" suggest using vinegar (blah blah blah, look that one up). Drip it slowly so that it takes most of the night to...

    My Green Bubble Coral needs help!

    I wouldn't expect lack of feeding alone to cause it to stop inflating. I'm more inclined to think flow, excess nutritients, and lighting as culprits. A full tank shot along with the pictures would be good.

    Sounds like algae growth.

    sps dies in one day

    Did you run the FWE? What water changes have you done since then? Did you siphon any of the flatworms out when you were done dosing? Those let off some pretty good toxins which would affect your SPS faster than anything else in your tank.

    sps dies in one day

    It looked like it was mounted in glue? Was it glue or epoxy?

    ID please

    Much better picture. Looks like a matless red star polyp or some sort of xenia. Where did the rock come from? How long have you had it? How long has it been growing there?

    Great markings, Danny! My pair are such docile fish. Hopefully yours is a model citizen as well.

    need help

    The only time your camera will continue to ue the metering/exposure compensation even in Manual mode is if you have your ISO set to Auto. In that case it will continue to adjust the ISO up to get to the "proper" exposure (or what it determines to be the proper exposure). If the camera is in...

    Nice guys at Reef Encounter, Hackensack - 15% off!

    Ohhh I love black Friday sales! I got some gorgeous corals from AO (one of our sponsors) at GREAT prices. Then we hopped over to OG II (another sponsor up there) and picked up some stuff from them. I've been shopping since 6am. I soooooo need a nap!

    The D50 is probably in the menu, rather than a button on the camera. Bob, Matrix metering has the camera look ALL ACROSS the image to see what the lighting is so that it sets the exposure based on how much light the entire image is getting. When you're subject has a LOT of light behind them...
