Sorry to hear about your situation. I can't imagine going through that after being together for so long. If there's anything you need holler. We're hear to lend an ear, or a hand.

I think there's one in Florida... Rr...r....rrroooaa. Nope. Can't even say it.

Thank you! Happy Mothers day to all of the moms as well as the Moms to BE! Seems to be lots of that going around!

We get our seaweed at the chinese market. 100 sheets for like 5$.

You'll likely waste 5g to every 1 of good water produced. That's fairly typical. Your filters might need some breaking in so I'd wait until the first ?? gallons have gone through it first. We were fairly uninformed when we started ours up so I'll let someone else give you advice there! Yes, you...

Also I always crop before I resize also so that I can resize to "internet size" after the cropping. With the MP of today's camera, there's plenty of room for cropping and then still resizing to 600px wide after the crop. Nice photos. It is fun watching your tank fill out. Some day I'll be able...

We've done it before. It worked great. We'll be doing some fragging at the June meeting (June 30), and I'm sure the wet saw will be there. We're in Jackson if you wanted to bring it by earlier. Is the LPS just glued to a rock or is it part of the rock? If it is glued down you could cut through...

Patience should solve all of the problems. Is there still ammo in the tank? That would lead to a continuing spike in trites. After the trites start to decline the trates will kick it in high gear. Then a good water change will have you ready for fish. Adding cured live rock will likely speed the...

The only reason I would use water from the main is to START the tanks. After that you do need to use all newly mixed water. My concern was the 7g he has right now at 1.022. I'd like to see that match the main display at the start. I've modified my post above to reflect that since it was somewhat...

If it is relatively shallow then a dremel works well. Anything thicker and a wetsaw (using saltwater instead of tap) would be my preferred method.

Sub... I meant to drop the salinity over a few days down to 1.022, you don't want to shock them with change. Use water from your main system if you need to make up the difference in the water (for the initial tank setup, after that use new water). Better to take the water from the main, keeping...

DKOP, Do you have any photos of infected fish? Can you describe it? Sugar grains on the fish? White powdery look? Those things on your snail look like egg sacs from another type of snail... what kinds of snails do you have in your tank? The thing about ich is that because it is cyclical it looks...

*pat pat pat* I can't help you with the above method, but the fish that you've got left are very hardy and provided you can start breaking the cycle they should be just fine. While you may choose to change salt at some point in time, I would personally think that keeping the fish under as...

Hopefully your upstairs neighbor is at work!

Intersting read. Thanks, Rich!

How deep is the tank, Ham? How is the light penetration at the bottom?

Sanjay will probably publish his PAR tests after his presentation at MACNA. He's in the midst of some very extensive testing.

The NJRC Family, along with the hobby as a whole, will lose someone very valuable when you shutdown your system. Sorry to hear that you're in need of a break, but better to do it this way then to watch the tank decline. When you're ready to get back in it I'm sure there will be plenty of people...

That looks great, Wendy!

No, bringing your Ca/Alk up shouldn't drop your Mg. You can use a 2 part like b-ionic to bring them up together. Carlo posted a link to a calculator. You might want to check that out. Just don't try to correct the deficiency all at once. You don't want to do anything fast. Only bad things...
