    Emaciated Sailfin Tang

    What is he eating in the store? Have you seen him eat? Keep nori hanging to graze on all day. I would add garlic and selcon to whatever you feed. I would go more with frozen foods than flakes until he starts to gain weight.

    Yep. I'm crazy.

    Can't wait to get home to see it! Angels will justify one more large tank someday. (After college loans are paid off and weddings are behind us!)

    It has arrived.............. OMG, this is scary

    Beautiful Wendy! I have a right corner area that's a lot like yours. Maybe I can squeeze in one more coral. It would have to be something quite 'elegant' of course! ;)

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    They are pretty close, about 2-3" off the water. I also eliminated egg crate by closing the back with diamond netting to get the most out of the lights. I went with a 180 for my upgrade because anything larger would be deeper as well. At 30" you could keep some mushrooms, but I'm not sure about...

    Should I bother raising pH?

    Well now you've got it! My 75 ran between 7.85 and 8.05 for weeks at a time. First nice day and I would air the house out. PH would rise instantly. What does the ph rise to during the day? Keep an eye on growth and make sure ph doesn't go much lower. If you do use additives other than...

    Should I bother raising pH?

    So back to my complciated suggestions, then! Some folks attach airline tubing to the skimmer air inlet and run it ouside. Some folks setup an airpump outside as well. Not too complicated in my mind. Cooking is one source of CO2. A dirty furnace is another. I have to admit I'm a little...

    Should I bother raising pH?

    Well based on the amount of posting you do I knew that you already knew that and discounted that because of heating issues. So why didn't you just open the window and not waste everyone's time? ;)

    Should I bother raising pH?

    So we work on bringing oxygen in or reducing CO2. Has the furnace been serviced lately? Can you hook up an air pump outside and feed it to the air input on your skimmmer?

    Should I bother raising pH?

    I'd get another batch of calibration fluid and try again just to be sure this is the correct reading.

    You can't run a tank that way!

    Well I don't think experience makes you do anything automatically in the correct way, but it gives you the knowledge to make the correct choices more consistently. I've been keeping saltwater almost as long as PaulB and I make it a point to think before doing anything. The important points I...
