Same here i'm starting a new tank from scratch also

Definately an awesome tank and a great veterinary hospital. Definately worth a look Harry

Re: Eagle Reef Systems, Inc. Man that really sucks. I felt like you at first about Eagle Reef, then i got burned by Bob and i never went back even though it's 10 minutes from my house. Good luck with getting the new tank Harry

The one main difference is the diverse new bacteria cultures that may be populating the new "live rock" and other beneficial organisms. It would most likely be different then the bacteria currently in your tank. It would give your bacteria population a big boost. The dry rock has no bacteria on...

good luck

you can literally "cook" it in the oven to kill everything or let it dry out completely and then cure it all over again. either option you will have to recure the rock.

cooking the live rock from what i understand is placing it in the oven and baking it to kill all the organisms on it and then curing it. you essentially have dry rock. Most people "cook" live rock when they have some type of nuisance algae or organism on it. Curing live rock it letting the...

I have the same Dilemma. My tank is 30" tall, but i'm leaning towards 250's 400's would work too. It's all preference i think. Harry

I read that article too. I guess it makes sense. It is a chemical after all.

I'm sorry for your loss. that's a terrible thing, But It's probably one of those unexplained events. I don't know if you could have done anything different, it sounds like you did everything right.

I have Well water and i use RO/DI. I have no issues with my filters at all. My water isn't hard at all. I guess it depends on the aquafir that it draws from

Re: NOAA Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Protections for Threatened Elkhorn Cor I didn't think of that aspect. In any event, i think this will be a long and complicated process with plenty of bickering. But i'm all for whatever is in the best interests of the oceans and corals whether i like...

Re: NOAA Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Protections for Threatened Elkhorn Cor I totally agree wild harvesting of the species should be banned. But i think if it's already in the hobby people who have it should be able to trade/sell it to other hobbyists. it makes no sense to ban something...

Copperband butterfly's are great at eating Aiptasia's but I would make sure they are eating at the store before you buy it. As to whether they are reef safe, that depends on the fish Harry

That's good to know. I was going to route it over the baffles into my refugium section, but now i might just leave it as is. thanks Harry

that's good to know. where do you have the output from the skimmer going?

Thanks for the info Harry

i agree with reefer. If they are striped they are harmless mini brittle stars, but without a pic it's hard to be be 100% on the ID
