Cool - i saw the pic and was like - ok I see the hinge but I don't see the head/legs...which means it's hiding. If it were dead it would not be able to hinge close like that I think...and it'd be might stinky....or plain empty. thanks for sharing!

lol don't get me started on the emoticons...they are (as charles barkley would say) Turibble.

oh and btw - this is one reason why i don't venture into big box store fish sections. Just too many horror stories...

foxface isn't a tang though...rabbitfish. I feel torn on this. I agree the fish probably deserves a better home, but let's not forget a "better" home means not just size, but water quality, food, appropriate community mates. What I'm saying is that at the extreme, one would argue no size...

FWIW I use the Lamotte test kit for alk...love it. I don't need a chemistry degree either to figure out the results.

Australia and France...two countries you'd think would be "advanced" enough to realize that if a shark wanted to kill you, there would be a death every day in those waters. For perth - 5 in one year results in this panic? ridiculous. The french panic because of 2 attacks. Neither article...

not to confuse the matter further but what you are using to measure Ph?

saw this - figured it might help to repost: 1) Isolate (quarantine) the fish if any of these things apply: - i) Fish is covered in many areas with nodules; - ii) Fish is being harassed by other fish; - iii) Nodules on the fish's mouth hinder it from eating normally; and/or - iv) Fish shows...

hard to tell -maybe Brooklynella (aka clownfish disease). Velvet would have probably struck them dead already. The other possibility is ich...

I am using biopellets now. Benefits: http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?74843-Starting-Bio-Pellets&p=674626&viewfull=1#post674626 I've read that some people will still run GFO and Carbon along with bp. Like i said, i'm just too lazy to hassle with another reactor for carbon or gfo... So...

I lack the mathematics major to understand the Salifert Test kits. I use LaMotte for ALK - really straightforward and great to use, albeit more expensive. Your ca and ph appear spot on. I'd check the ph at night to see if there is any swing/difference. isn't Alk supposed to buffer the...

ok - it's amazing how many you have though...that's like the mother colony of colonies...:)

Whoa...those things...look very suspicious to me...like hydroids or similar....you may not want to have that in your tank,...they may take over. I'm referring to what you called "cheap zoas"

Welcome! nice pics. I don't have any friends who are into reefs either - the people on this forum just tolerate me is all...;)

welcome! no rush but if you think the forum is worth the time and effort, definitely consider signing up to become a member. You don't need to be a member to attend any of the functions/meetings but it's just a small way for everyone to chip in to keep the site up and running. Definitely...

my eyes must be playing tricks on me - i swore it said Flame Angel...lol then I saw 1-2 inch clipping...like what? Welcome to NJRC!

i don't use carbon anymore...i am way too lazy to keep changing it out. I sold my 55# bag.

oooh i didn't realize the RSM has a built-in skimmer? I use the tunze nano 9002 for my bc29. It is finicky but I barely have any life in the tank so that's probably why minimal stuff is being taken out. It did well for me (when tuned in) when I was growing out clownfish fry. That stated, I...

Ahhh makes sense - it is indeed rare - http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/18460/0

no there should be no issue. I used to do this when I had my sump directly under the tank. The ATO would be connected into the overflow just as thermosts said. Now today my sump is downstairs so running it back up to my overflow would be like 12 feet in hose and not worth it. What is the GPH...
