There is no escape, we are all doomed to Reefer Madness! 8) Thanks for the laugh Candi. I don't know how many times I though about writing one of these stories. Each time, by the time it was over, I was to pooped to write. And then I would resort to adult beverages to erase the painful...

I'm re-doing my 55 and I was going to post the large group of colonies in the center for sale. They are attached to a good sized piece of dead elkhorn from my original tank in 1972, before we used rock. I also have very green GSP's. If you are interested, I will be working on the tank tonight if...

Your wish is my command! Let me know the next time your heading to Aquatic Obsessions, I'm 5 minutes away.

Sounds good. Just curious, what test kit do you use?

Hey Andrew, how's things? As I recall you had a lot of mushrooms in that tank. Remember to acclimate them slowly to the increased lighting.

We have strayed a bit from the point of this thread. I was speaking specifically about Aquatraders issues and not debating the concept of high end reefing vs. budget reefing. If you check back through my posts on this board you will find that I frequently break with tradition and I...

That's good, but keep an eye on the alk. 100 is not good.

Differ away! Your results may vary. There are also a few threads going back a year or two ago where metal halide fixtures were blowing capacitors and catching on fire. The bottom line is, my story happened exactly as described. Glad yours had a better ending. My advice to anyone considering...

Hey Jose, All I can say is WOW! :o Great looking setup.

Mike's recommendation is on target. You should always quarantine first. It gives the fish a chance to build up strength. Pygmy Angels in particular should have some well established live rock to graze on in the QT tank. See if you can get some Ocean Nutrition Pygmy Angel frozen food.

It was good pizza. :D

Sorry for your losses Dave. I had my Ocellaris pair for almost 10 years. They just started spawning last fall. After about 3 or 4 clutches the female stopped eating. She lasted a little over a month after that. The first few times she laid eggs, the male did all the work tending the eggs. The...

It should be between 125 and 200 ppm. 100 ppm is 2 meq or 5.6 dkh which is low. What are your other parameters? SG, ph, CA and MG in particular? What salt are you using and how often do you do water changes? I would test the water you mix for water changes and if it tests OK, I would slowly...

I have a sumpless 55 gallon for my soft coral collection. I use a Fluval 104 for carbon. I change one tray every other week. If you have powerheads for flow, run a skimmer and have a decent amount of live rock, you don't need a large canister. I just run one for media like carbon. I also...

They really look cool if you get them growing on the back glass! I frag mine as they come to the edges of the rocks I want to restrict them to by grabbing a loose edge and peeling back. Cut with a razor.

The problem seems to be restricted to AquaTraders and not necessarily the manufacturers. You can find lots of folks happy with Jebo products, but when you get Jebo from AquaTraders you have lots of problems. Some folks believe they are handling refurbished products. My suggestion is if you see...

Hey Bill, welcome! Anyone with a bar and Guinness on tap needs to join the club and volunteer to host a meeting immediately! ;D

Man, I gotta party with you! :o

Wise guy! It's actually under T5's in my 30 gallon frag tank. Color is washed out, but they are growing. ;D

Good one Francis! I'll be using that one for sure. ;)
