Thanks for the report, Bob. I'm looking forward to stopping in when I'm up that way next.

With the added light (and heat) of MH you need to dramatically increase your flow to keep up with the respiration needs of the corals. Failing to do so will have your corals "unable to breath". I think people have success with various lighting scemes and it has more to do with husbandry and...

Sundays are ok as well but harder on those coming from a distance. Whatever works best for you will be fine with us though! We've been hunting down a host for some time so THANKS! for offering to host! Deb will be in touch with you regarding setting a date, etc. Thanks!

No, it doesn't. It will pick up stuff from the water column and will benefit more from well fed fish. It doesn't have a sizeable mouth anywhere that food could be ingested through.

I'd leave it alone.

Re: Help with Satndpipe/Bulkhead isssue I'd try a new piece of pipe first. Maybe there's something (coraline, whatever) on that pipe preveting it from seating?

Re: Help with Satndpipe/Bulkhead isssue Ahh yes. That's exactly what I thought (feed). Hmm. You're right. That's perplexing. Why would the drain pop out. Is the pipe the right size for the bulkhead? Does it feel snug when you push it into place? Are you getting it seated well when you're...

Re: Help with Satndpipe/Bulkhead isssue Is this the feed water or drain water pipe?

LOL. Polyp extension. You should see itttty bittttty polyps sticking up from the corals when they're happy. You can see it in the 4th coral down in your set at the top of the page on that front coral.

Setting up the Ca reactor is far more mind funk than reality. Don't sweat it. And if you're monitoring the PH of the effluent there's not a whole lot you can do to goof things up. Just keep an eye on your alk while you're getting it adjusted and then of course as you add utilization down the...

If it is slimey it is still alive. That sounds like it is just bleaching. Can you see any PE on it?

I would choose T5s over PCs any day of the week. I have PCs over one of my tanks and the bulbs change spectrum dramatically around 5.5mo and get NASTY looking in color. Which of course you don't notice until the algae starts. Then you change the bulbs, magically the algae goes away and the tank...

Make sure the cap is as low as it can go. Maybe even under an overhang if you have one. They're REALLY hardy, so I'm sure you'll be fine!

He is probably FROM the tropics. Lots of the little ones wander north on the jet stream only to die in our cold waters. Not sure what type it is from the description. Maybe you can find a photo of a similar one online somewhere? Very cool!

<hijack> We're about to do our first water change with it. I'll be watching for goodness (and of course reporting back). LOL. </hijack>

I have a pile of Red Sea that I'd like to sell off. I don't care for it. I'm really hoping to like the GetTanked salt. I haven't found one that I like yet.

Sure is pretty... are ya nervous about breaking it all down and getting it all back together again?! ;D

Do extensive research before you get a husky. They are wonderful loving pets that RUN like mad any chance they get, shed like you can't imagine and need a HUGE area to run. Oh and did I mention that they like to dig? Holes the size of small children if left alone in the yard. Too stubborn to be...

:o I like to use the word borrowed. ;D

If you show them your membership card you'll get additional discounts added to your account. You only have to show them your card once a year as they enter your expiration date into their system. I had one that was doing great 1/2 way down under 400w MH and when we added an ecoaqualizer to the...
