Sorry I missed this Phil. I'm in Woodbridge and can stop by sometime. I'll have to check and see if we still have a good clipper at home.

Albie, I forgot all about this Saturday. Do you still have one for me? Where are you located?

Thanks Ralph, everything was great! My wife and doctor want to thank all the photographers for helping to make their case against me; my diet starts this week. ::)

Great stuff as always! Where did you get the scolly?

Cut your losses and just go with new ballasts from somewhere other than Homby/Aquatraders. I had a bad experience with them on a T5 strip light where the original ballast and the replacement died within days. They have a long, ugly history. Stay away from them!

Looks good Harry. I like the islands. I'm planning on islands in my 180 as well.

I do all of the above: SeaSquirt, turkey Baster, large syringe with some rigid tubing, and feed the whole tank and let them get what's floating. In a real reef there is enough food in the water column drifting and swimming by to let the coral feed themselves, but not so in a closed system. LPS...

Are you coming to the meeting, I can explain the nail clipping.

Sounds a little low to me. I run mine at 77-78. Lower than most, but everything is thriving. Did you notice any changes in the livestock at 74?

Looks possible to me. I know my candy canes would occasionally go through a cycle of shrinking to almost no exposed tissue for a few days before an extended period of growth and splitting.

Thanks Renee, ph and Alk are both a challenge in my tanks. I think I'll pass on the vitamin C. Any truth that vitamin E will get my clowns to mate? 8)

Sounds good on the carbon. I would dip that colony. IF everything else is OK it's unlikely that it's parameter related. Is there another coral close enough to that section to be attacking it?

Very nice, Thanks Phil!

Alleopathy is a possible cause. Carbon works fine if you change it on a reqular basis. Jceli how often do you change the carbon, how much do you use and how is the tank water processed through the carbon?

Lotta love in the thread above! Hope everyone had a great day. :D

That's a great idea Ed, but a bad time at the moment. I will be able bring a 4ft VHO setup after I do my 180 upgrade as I will be shutting down my 55. Hopefully by September.

I'll take one, just have to confirm my drum measurements. I'll be at the meeting. Thanks.

I have the T12 VHO's and only keep easy SPS in the top 8" of the tank. Since you want to keep more SPS than the others I would go with T5's overdriven with IceCap ballasts and don't forget the fans. Of course once you need fans, in my mind you might as well go halide and you won't have to...

Very nice. I hope you saved some for picture of the month! ;)

Very cool! Welcome to the club Zinni! So what medications were required for John to agree? ;D
