    NOAA Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Protections for Threatened Elkhorn Corals

    According to page 3 of the proposal, NOAA does not believe that these species have been in the aquarium trade. So it seems they haven't considered what to do with the stock we may have. Barry, I don't think anyone disagrees with stopping collection, but if there is a significant captive stock...

    Billyr98's Real Upgrade! 450g Starphire Custom Reef Tank!

    The notice was cool, unfortunately church doesn't give me lots of notice on stuff. I checked the calendar, they have me workin' all morning, but I could get there a little late. This isn't one of those meetings that ends early, is it? ;)

    Can't take it anymore!

    Hey Bob, Welcome back! I still have some of the Green-Bay Packer zoas I got from you a while back. You're welcome to frags of anything I have when you're ready. My 75 turned 2 years old this weekend and old-timers who have left are returning. Does this mean it's time for me to take a break?? ;D

    pickling lime

    Pickling limes have more impurities and I have made similar observations to John's. I'll also note that I have seen some variations between bags as well. Hardly a controlled scientific experiment, but I've ordered some ESV in the group buy to see if I get the same results as John. Which reminds...

    I dropped a coral....

    I'm in the same boat for different reasons. My plate and bubble coral have grown to the point that they can fight it out. Since the bubble stopped inflating to the max, I did a little tweaking to give it some more room. You know the rest of the story! ;)

    Simple Kalk Dosing - Opinions Wanted

    Scum on the top of the water surface will be effective only if there is no stirring of the water. If there is no stirring of the water (mix) then the slurry at the bottom will not efficiently supply the Kalk to the new water added to the mix (top-off). After a while, the concentration of Kalk in...

    Simple Kalk Dosing - Opinions Wanted

    I've been dosing this way for sometime and it has been quite effective. I was going to post the Randy Holmes stuff yesterday but didn't have the time. I have a lid on my 14 gallon drum and scum that forms on top of the water further blocks the CO2. I posted my variations of the process on...

    Selling live sand ?????

    It can be used and should be thoroughly rinsed in SW as Phyl said. I've used it on both of my tanks at time of setup. I would expect a cycle from the sand so I wouldn't used recycled sand in an established tank.

    Finally - after nine years of waiting!

    Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I was holding off reaquascaping while they were laying eggs, so I'll take care of that first. I'll see how the male is doing and do some reading. It will give me more time to get the culturing system going. I'm leaning toward a new mate for the male as...
