Hey Mike, I was just surfing RC and I'm not seeing a lot of Pimafix/Melafix fans. I was going to suggest Maroxy, I've used this one in the past. Also I'm concerned about oxygen in such a small tank. Add an airstone if possible. You certainly don't want to overhand the sick fish, but again I...

So Phyl, Were you in NJ Reefer's attire??

Boy do I miss those long naps on the couch together! :D

Mike, What kind/size angel? I have a 20g high or maybe a long if that will help. I've not used the medications you mentioned, so I can't comment. Boost the angel's immune system by adding garlic to the food.

Hope this isn't still going on by then but, in a couple of weeks I'll have a 75 gallon and a 30 gallon tank available for your use. Or if you want, you can use the 180 I'm getting and I'll wait to make the swap. LMK

We never finished that conversation though! It seems furniture may preempt vacation, and in that case, I will be there! ;D

If they were the bulbs he was running when I was there last week, I thought they looked great.

Hmmmm, now who do we know that has never even owned a metal halide light, let alone use it on a tank??? 8)

You'' squeeze thiem somewhere when the little one goes " Daddy how come we never have trains at Christmas??" Don't you have HO? We can find a place for them somewhere!

I did consider my own train store, and train store! Fins & Freighters! But saltwater, metal trains, oil & grease, and reef systems didn't seem to be a low maintenance environment. I always think about stopping in the Train Cellar when I go to Trop, but it never looks open. I've also thought of...

Stop tempting me ol' yarn for hair! I love to run 'em slower, but I also like to run stock American Flyer and to get them smoking good you have to crank them up for a bit until things get cookin'. When you convert the older trains to new can motors and electronic directional units, you can run...

Believe me Barry, the thought crossed my mind. But the vision of a 5 lb iron engine jumping the track as it approache the corner of a tank was a bit scary. Also, right now my hands have oil, grease and smoke fluid in every pore. Not a good day to trim the Halimeda in the LPS tank! :o

As many of you know, my return to reefing was instigated by consolidating tanks to make way for a model railroad. Then I fell in love with the consolidated tank and the rest is history. Well I'm in the process of taking down a large Christmas village display that has a train track. I collect...

Gee I wonder where they were manufactured? We get anti-freeze in our tooth paste, and now lead in our paint. But at least they are cheap! Thanks Wal-Mart et al! Sorry to be tongue-in-cheek about a serious situation, but it's a pretty scary world out there.

Hang in there Steve! If you need some help let me know. You are "Super Reefer" so I know it's a temporary thing!

Sorry to hear about your problems Joe. Here is a link to the Salifert Forum thread discussing this issue. There is a pretty good page showing the color changepoint that corresponds to the reading. Salifert Alk Link I have an older kit that is still OK. I think they will get their act...

A picture would help in identifying the problem. Both of the coral and the worms. What other living things are in the tank? The fish you have are generally reef safe, although reef safe fish sometimes pick on sick or injured corals.

Great job Wendy! It won't be long before the babies come back, nest and dive bomb you until you run for your life! ;D I love them anyway!

Happy fish! Mmmmmmmmmmm Beer! Reminds me that there is a Hobgoblin Ale in the fridge. ;D

Anyone out there doing this that can post a quick guide to the issues and costs? The last time I looked at this was at least 5 years ago. I believe the chemicals used to recharge the anion and cation resins can be a bit nasty.
