I became “first hand” aware of the devastation of our reefs when Ken Nedimyer of Coral Restoration Foundation came and talked at one of our meeting about 1 ½ to 2 years ago. I dove the Florida Keys in the early 70’s and found the coral plentiful….didn’t even give it a second thought. Ken...

From the BRS FAQ: "•Bacteria require small amounts of phosphorous to metabolize nitrate properly and phosphate levels theoretically could be a limiting factor for this system. For this reason we recommend not using phosphate removal products like GFO during the initial phase where are you are...

I'm no expert, but I believe that you can't run GFO and bio-pellets together. You might want to look into that or hopefully someone here will know.

I say this with ignorance and the fact that I’ve seen their commercial too many times, but how about the Bob-o-pedic and save a few bucks?

What pump do you have? When’s the last time you soaked the impeller in vinegar? What happens over time is that the magnet (which should spin freely on the shaft), calcifies to the shaft. This causes for the pump to run a little “rough.” I’d first clean the pump well and see if that...

Next week's sock change.....they're yours.....I'll let you know.

You have diagnosed and identified the problem yourself. Now it is a matter of time to get your numbers back in line. I’m also hoping that your recording of a phosphate level of two is wrong….that is out-of-this-world high. Even 0.2 would be considered very high and definitely effect coral...

Anyone interested in adding Brittle Stars to their CUC, come and get ‘em. This is from my weekly cleaning of my filter sock. I also have an abundance of Asteria is someone is looking for a little snack for their Harlequin Shrimp.

Happy Birthday old man. Enjoy!

They are already here……HERE is the Migration Map for 2012.

Now lookie here Don, an expert has agreed to what I’ve been telling you for some time. Now don’t make me come down there and smack you….DO IT! NOW! :)

For those of use who feed Ruby Throated Humming birds, I was at my folk’s house in North Carolina over Easter, and they have returned there. Now NC is about a week’s difference to use, so tonight I put my feeders out. I only put a little bit of food in each feeder until I see them appear here...

Ed, great news about your kid! I’ve thought of him often, having had a kid with needs as well. Fantastic! :congratulatory: And the tank doesn’t look bad either.

I originally thought (and was told) they were spaghetti worms, but they are HAIR worms. Have a ton in my tank, and they are good.

?????? Bob, this flush valve bypasses the restrictor valve on the waste water line. When opened, water rapidly flows out the waste line, with no water coming out of the “clean” side. My tds monitor points are at the exit of the clean line and after the DI canister. So I really can’t read...

I received my care package from the BRS group buy. I’m not sure if I should be cursing out Arnie or thanking him for organizing this group buy. :grin: I bought more than I wanted to buy, after I saw a few things on sale! DOSING PUMPS Picked up two dosing pumps to automate throwing...

I don’t believe 5000 Kelvin would do much for coral growth.

The artist’s renderings look more appealing
