    water changes??

    primer...that's right...it's been like 4 years since i used the stuff...lol. Thanks for the tip. I think phyl mentioned that there was a clear primer that could be used-so the pvc pipes wouldn't show purple everywhere. Anyways- the set up is nice. If it were me there'd be purple gobs everywhere! ;D

    sorry to hear that. I have used Fexit but only as a "dip" for corals prior to introduction into the main display. That and Lugols seems to help a lot.

    29gallon newbie

    just keep in mind an anemone is an animal and may decide to up and move a sting all the corals along the way. In larger tanks this is less of an issue- with a 29 u just have to realize this possibility (or it moving into a PH). Not sure what clown u r interested in or what anemone -but a couple...

    Missing Diamond Goby

    Here is David's (malalu) solution: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=7426.msg70688#msg70688 It will still allow some light to penetrate...in my old aga I put a small piece of styrofoam to block the light so the algae could not grow.

    Sorry to ask this - but the anthias - did you trade them in? I noticed they are no longer in the later pics. Love the anemone...really nice.

    Skimmer for 90 gal reef

    that's too bad chase - what skimmer are you looking into now? I'm surprised no one suggested a EuroReef-which a really popular brand on some forums...

    Missing Diamond Goby

    Nice!!! Hey do you have a pic of your overflow? wondering if you have something covering them and the goby still managed to get thru? Have you ever seen (i think) malalu's DIY covers?

    looking for "reef janitor" packages

    That's an interesting deal but I would caution anyone from getting 80 hermits in a so called cleaner package. I know mike says he has 80 but to me it's way too many. I have never heard of a "cone" shell being in an pack unless we're talking about the venomous cone snail. Big ones can kill or at...

    29gallon newbie

    sometimes a fish may feel more comfortable with reef fish that are mid-water zooplankton feeder types - (e.g. chromis/anthias) - since they look for those fish to be out and about before coming out. There's a term for these types of fish which eludes me right now. However if that is not...

    auto top off

    Another alternative (aren't there always options in this hobby?): I have used the tunze osmolator...though when i got it - it wasn't as expensive as it is these days (you can blame the weak dollar and that it is manufactured in europe). Anyways - I have never used the two float switches -...

    Spam

    Greg - thought just passed thru my head and I was wondering if you had downloaded anything unusual lately? It's possible some spyware was placed on your pc- and based on your surfing habits they were able to send reef specific spam. Just a thought.

    29gallon newbie

    ugh - sorry to hear. I do give you a big thumbs up for asking before jumping the gun. Any board you go to is littered with the deaths of countless fish from owners who purchased them first only to find they could not maintain the diet/no idea what kind of fish it was etc. I myself am looking...

    Orange Monti Cap

    baxreef had to banish his frogspawn - it had grown huge and was stinging his other corals. He even posted a video on his tale of the tank of the fs sending out tendrils / sweepers at night! I guess the good news though is that your fs is growing rapidly!

    OY! Sorry to hear that.... :'( I personally have never heard of triggers to be predisposed to carpet surfing- but i'm not at all familiar with them. ::)

    Setting up a sump/ need help with return pump

    wait - you said you have a cpr cs50 - isn't that an HOB overflow? Well anyway if an hob skimmer messes around with your side viewing then perhaps that isn't the answer. With regards to the return pump - davek pretty much summed it up. Good luck!

    What does ORA stand for?

    LOL. Actually - if hobbyists were to conscientiously make the decision to always purchase aquacultured items - eventually the market will drive the costs down as more competitors seek to enter the market. Take for example the cheap prices one sees for Seahorses that are wild caught. by...
