Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
That was her answering using my name, even after being together over 5 years I could not put something like that together. Even if I finished the bottle of wine we are working on, I could not come up with that.
Thanks guys.
Bill, it was great to see you as well. We will be at MACNA, wouldn't miss if for the world.
I usually refrain from unleashing the legalease on those I like.... aka you guys. However, if you really feel you need to know my thoughts on the naming of "Her 20", here it is:

Thank you for the response, with the ac being fixed we are back to our stable temps over the past two weeks and nothing has gotten worse. We had heard adding some phyto with bleached out corals can help. We were just wondering if there was any other methods out there.
Do you have any pics? Did you introduce anything new into the tank recently? Do you do any dips on your corals when you add them? How has the heat level in your tank been?
Until we have more information it is going to be tough for anyone on here to diagnose a problem.
With inverts drip acclimation is key as they are very sensitive to water changes. Drip acclimation happens to be very easy though, so it is not a big deal. I would go with the conch if you can, cucumber have been know to crash a tank if they become stressed/die. Unfortunetly the only invert that...
I don't have any basis of comparison, but I do love the pheonix 14k. I have pics up in the equipment conversation thread if you want to take a look. As far as growth goes, I have only had them up for a month, so I can't answer that part yet.
Here is the link...
Your fish will look very stressed or would be dead depending on the species. Your corals (if you have them) would also suffer and your inverts would be dead. That is why I doubted you had that high of a level if everything was still alive.
What sort of filtration do you have for the tank? Live rock acts as a great filtration system so that will probably help, and then a protein skimmer would really help. Have you tested for nitrates?
What most people do in their QT is throw in some PVC pipe or coffee mugs to give the fish some hiding spots to swim around in. Not quite sure what the green stalks are but the rest of it is hair algae. I good way to get rid of it is just pull the rock out, put it in a seperate bucket and scrub...
You might really really want to look into start using some RODI water. There is something in your tap water that is causing the algae outbreak. If you want to keep on using tap water, get a phosban reactor or chemipure or phosban to pull out the phosphates.
If my local LFS does not carry something, I order from marinedepot.com I have ordered several skimmers and other various things from them with no problem at all. They also have just about everything.
