    diatris??

    I dosed to instruction and all my fish, zoas, snails, and carbs are fine. I did a big clean post treatment trying to find the deceased fish (didn't), ran a 25% water change to compensate, and decreased my feedings, also took to using a turkey baster to gently blow off the rocks and zoas every...

    diatris??

    I had the same problem a few months back with a red cyano outbreak. Was feeding a bit much and had a long light cycle for growth, then had a death in the tank and was unable to recover the corpse. The stuff spread like wildfire, all over the place, don't think there was a surface without it...

    NIce weekend surprise

    No color patterns yet, but it (they) is (are) a beautiful bright orange. With all the zoas I've been cultivating its testimony to the jawbreakers that everyone who see's my tank initially asks, 'Wow, what is that?', invariably pointing to the jawbreaker, which is behind the rastas, the ice...

    Cutting live rock - help please

    Chris, good idea. That will be fallback plan. As we have to cut some floring I went out and bought a tile cutter, gave a test run on a few pieces of rock and seems to work quite well. SKIL 7" Wet Tile Saw 3540 Gonna play about with it tomorrow and see how things go. Bob, posted at same time...

    Cutting live rock - help please

    Yeah, the bandsaw was my first thought (as well as an excuse to buy a bandsaw), but max cut depth is usually 3-4". I'm looking to cut pieces at 5-6". The box stores rent out paver cutters but will not provide a new blade.

    Cutting live rock - help please

    Time to freak the clowns out. Anyone done this? I've got about 30 pounds of live rock currently in tank. As I'm using the tank to house zoas, I thought it would be cool to have a zennish tank of flat rocks piled up like steps with shelving for pockets of zoas. To do this, I would have to cut...

    I want to buy a lot of clownfish

    If more south, Aqua Oceans in Tom's River always has a beautiful selection of clowns at great prices. If you want to go the easy route I hear if you cut them in half with a razor but keep part of the mouth it will grow into two cl... mmm, was that...wait...now I'm second guessing myself.

    Return pump

    I've always been a fan of Magdrive pumps for larger systems and Sicce pumps for smaller use. Both are slightly more expensive than the norm but both are extremely reliable, quiet, and versatile. Also, keep an eye on the float valve ATO in that model (if equipped), they have a tendency to get...

    Growth and colors

    My frag tank is still being built, its a Evo with the 14,000k lights (replacing with the Prime). I've read that zoas will do well enough on the bottom with the stock light but the f you're looking for growth they need to be about halfway up the tank. Great scaping btw, I would have bet I was...
