Well, Dave, there are GAC that had magnetic inclusions in it or maybe I should say a patent on it Processing and characterization of activated carbon coated magnetic particles for biomedical applications R.V. Ramanujan, a, , S. Purushothama and M.H. Chiaa aSchool of Materials Science and...

Well, if all those siphons were closed it is a Tunicate lime green or not :) There are green Didemnids that are darker green. The green is from symbiotic algae like in corals. http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/ascidiacea/greengumdrop.htm

Well, carbon does not make on magnetic properties but Iron impurities of iron converted to magnetite, a natural magnetic iron in great quantities in the iron mines of Minnesota is magnetic, hence the name. It will do about as much harm as GFO, it is just a iron oxide, it is not like it is actual...

Why does my KH always go down quickly when my Ca and Magnesium are constantly staying 420 ppm and 1350? First, there is much more calcium than Alk. So, it "seems" to drop faster. For ever 20 ppm Ca++ that leaves solution it takes 2.8 dKH with it. If we look at 420 ppm Ca++ with an Alk of 7 dKH...

I'm checking on this :)

Godfather That is a rather poor pic and in such pics Haliclonal sponges can look like Diademid Tunicates. More than likely it is a sponge. I have never seen a tunicate that color. Haliclona sponges http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&resnum=0&q=Haliclona&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi...

Nobody knows Phyl the real reason or theory. But, it is obvious it is one of two and should not be much of task to figure which one but I go with #1 1. If you put seawater or any kind of water in glass and give it light sooner or latter their will be algae even if you sterilize it. It comes...

At-tah boy there Dave :)

Humm Phyl Definitely dynos and definitely silicates fed. You need to eliminate the silicates from your system. Dino's /dynos do not feed on silica diatoms do :) Reef Crystals usually Diatoms, but one really needs to see a pic. Diatoms can also get stringy with bubbles but do not have "snot"...

Do they look like these ? http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&fkt=2581&fsdt=7021&q=spirorbid%20worms&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

No both, BUT, for if the Ca++ gets high it does not need much buffer to create a snow storm, just like to much buffer can but in general it is more of a buffer due to the higher pH than a C++ thing. OK, in the olden days we use to do something if the Ca++ was to high or the Alk was to high 1...

Any time Jay I can help :)

Jay First, that is the last author that you want to "argue " with in this hobby :) As he is the most well know and most sot after reef chemist. He holds a Ph.D in chemistry from Harvard, graduated summa cum laude with a GPA of 4, is a world renowned chemist in his own field, a director of a...

No Bob there is no so called document evidence but one dose not always need that. I will tell you this Randy Homes-Farley and Craig Bingman do not think much of it, especially Craig. I do know that it can at least irritate some animals such as Tridacna. It is also know it is critical to know...

I like it Dave keep it up :) Have you guys seen these ? http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchhikers.html http://www.reefs.org/library/aquarium_net/1197/1197_1.html

Lanthanum Chloride has been around for years in this hobby. All the liquid PPO4 removers are Lanthanum Chloride. Joe uses it in his system, as many large public aquariums do, as it is much more cost effective for them. For use, we need to stay with GFO which has no negative affect which...

What's with this is the the algae of the week :) I just got done trying to ID this algae on another forum. The only thing that I can find that looks like that and there are no pics on the net, is Erythrymenia sp a red algae from the South Indo-Pacific.

Now that is a Nudibrach. Something I missed on your first post and the guy from RC must of caught and I just spaced it out. Sacoglossians have Rhinophores but no oral tentacles. Go back and look at the pics. Now look at your new pics, the have both of them. This is a Aeoled Nudibranch and more...

Jimmy The Spanish Shawl has red rhinophores...mine does not. I agree on that but neither does yours they are Blue and the body on yours also looks like it blue or dark/blue. These you posted have a white body and white rhinophores. I do not think it is a Ercolania sp said Ercolania margaritae...

You bet :)
