I'd be more inclined to put it in fresh SW with a pump and let the HA die off with no light source. Then scrub it really well to remove it from the surface of the rock. I wouldn't personally put algaecide in with rock that I wanted to put in my fish tank. I'd buy new rock before I'd take that...

We're getting close and need a final head count by Wednesday. Please update your RSVP if you're not able to attend the trip. Just to clarify Rich's post above, there will be no additional discounts on ANY sale merchandise. The discount that they are offering us is off of their list price...

The 28th is the day before the next meeting, so everyone should factor that in as well.

You'll be able to pick it up at Home Depot/Lowes.

Nitrites/trates were higher than the tank all day yesterday with a very slow drip rate (1 drip per 1-2 seconds). By this morning they were both zero. I've upped the effluent a drop or two and we'll test it in a couple of hours to see if we're still at zero or if we're starting to climb. If we're...

I'd like to go a couple of times before the tropicals hit, just to go! We've got nothing planned the weekend of the 21/22 or 28 of July. Anyone up for diving any of those days?

I didn't play with the color at all. Probably just the amount of light in the picture. He's indeed a yellow tang. Thanks, Steve! :)

My Orp was originally around 300. Dropped down to 0. Then when I upped the effluent (and lost all control of it the first couple adjustments) the Orp went from 0 back up to around 160. It's dropped back down to 0 now. I'm still dripping nitrites and nitrates back into the tank. Hopefully this...

Shrimp molt. If you found just the shell of the shrimp it is possible that it is growing and molted. Your parameters all look pretty good. Your trates could be lower, but keeping up with your water changes (and maybe reducing your feedings) should bring them back in line. They're not "high"...

Some pictures of our newest additions: I've been wanting to try my hand at these for a while now and these were the healthiest/largest bunch I've seen. I just couldn't resist them. They eat like chow hounds and eat anything I throw in the tank, so in that regard I think we'll do well...

Sadly, my knowledge of a BNC cable is worse than I suspected. Apparently crossing the shield and the center wire doesn't do you any good. That cable yeilded me 000 as a result, even when the number should have been crawling negative. So I'm back to monitoring effluent for nitrates. The orp...

Beauties! I need to get pics of each of mine :)

My favorite is the blastos :) Very nice pictures, Ronen!

Yes PLEASE! I'd love to see some pics from the other corals that were taken home, especially the ones that were fragged at the meeting!

Thanks, Bri!

Thanks, Brian! Lemme know how much. If you can snap it in the morning and bring it tomorrow that would be great! :)

6" is way too close for MH lighting. The heat buildup really is an issue. We used to have an oceanic standard hood with 250w MH lights in it, but between the salt spray and the heat, it just wasn't a viable solution. We built our own hood for that tank using Merv's hood as a guide. We have a...

Point n shoot? Bahhhhhhhhh. You can't take great pictures of fast moving kids with a point n shoot! I say get her a D200! Sorry. I can't help ya, I've never used any of them! :)

Congratulations Brian (ReefDrumz) for winning June's POTM contest. Way to run away with it!

Just wired the cross over cable. :) Wasn't as hard as it looks. I unbraided the outside wire and cut out the core. Then just wired nutted them together. No big deal. We have the Orp plugged in directly right now so that we can watch it fall. When it hits zero we'll put the crossover in place...
