Okay it's been 3 or 4 weeks now that I stopped running my phosban reactor. However, I noticed the corals were doing better when it was running. That being said does anyone have a cup of phosban I can borrow? I am waiting for the group buy and will replace it then. I can't see spending $20 for a...

I have an engineer goby for a little over a year. It is about 5" long and always hides until feeding time. Came home from work and noticed it out and swimming lazy/clumsy or whatever. I was able to net it out with no resistance. I don't see any physical signs of illness. I put it in a small...

I am going to build a screen cage for a chameleon I recently bought. My question is will thiss wood be good to hold up the fiber mesh? I plan to staple the mesh to rectangle sections and then assemble. Any suggestions welcomed. The wood is Millstead 2 In. x 4 In. x 8 Ft. Pressure Treated Lumber...

I was wondering if anyone can see any downside to this approach. I find that I enjoy the fish more than the coral. Maybe because they just don’t thrive although they do survive. I was considering to get rid of the RR tank and go with a regular tank. I would omit the sump and phosban reactor...

Just curious if anyone ever keep a Lemon Peel Angel in a reef setup? From what I recently read opinions vary. In a reef with caution to not reef safe because they like to nip at LPS, some softies, zoas and clam mantles.

I have had this for about 2 weeks now. When I first put it in I could see feeder tentavles extending at nigh but not much any more. Also the heads were some what with drawn and starting to expand but that also stopped. I moved them to different parts of the tank to have less flow and some more...

Supposedly the largest sanctuary to date. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28506975/

Was at the mall in Eatontown and my sonm talked me into stopping at the dreaded Petco for reptile supplies. While there I peeked at the fish selection which is half the size it was. They have a fairy Wrasse for $19.99 that looks similar to this...

I have mixed some Kalk and my question is... After it mixes and settles could I pour the mixture through some cheese cloth or a coffee filter to remove the sediment? This way I can drip dose and avoid clogging or excess kalk in my tank. Mark

Well I have confirmed that my Flame Angel has a taste for some SPS corals such as Pocillpora and the Green Slimer frag I won at the meeting. I won't be getting rid of it as it's my favorite fish.

Hate to hijack here but saw something that caught my eye. It stated that RODI should be 0/2 for use. I have a brand new RODI and my tap measures 137 and the best I could get from the unit was 5/6. Are you syaing that this isn't good enough to use? Am I just wasting my time making water?

I am thinking of dripping Kalk to keep the calcium constant. It is currently 360ppm but after a water change it is 400ppm. I have Kalk and an IV drip bag. I was planning on hanging it from the DT and drip it into the sump. Is this a good idea? I don’t have money or space for a reactor. I keep...

I just acquired this fish, literally a an hour ago. Don't ask how, to long to explain. Anyway, I was told it's a Purple Chromis. Only, Saltwaterfish.com has any info but not much and can't find more on it. Pic below.

Here are some shots of my tank. I will post as I take them. The first is my favorite fish in the tank.

During the November meeting while Phyl was giving the photo presentation I thought these ideas are great if you had a nice expensive camera. Well, when I got home she inspired to dig out the extremely dusty manual to my Olympus camera. To my surprise it has settings for macro and super macro...

I purchased this Green tyree from Candi and it did great for a week. I noticed a crab, some type of mithrax, bothering it. It took several days to catch the crab. The coral hasn't extended polyps in about 4 days now. You can see the chunks of flesh the crab tour off on the top of the pics. What...

Does anyone know the name /kind/ brand of putty that is sold at Lowes or Home Depot that I can use to glue some frags? Andy mentioned it yesterday but I don't remember. Thanks

I am trying to catch a Mithrax crab in ny DT. He eats much algea but has been nipping at my Pavona frag and green toadstool frag. It stays in the rocks so I can't net it out. Anyone know how to build a trap to catch it? I don't the othet fish ton be able to go inside it. Thanks, Mark

Currently, I have a Berlin Classic skimmer and was thinking of picking this up used, kent nautilus te protein skimmer . Is there a significant difference between the two? Thanks, Mark
