Mine is gone as well! :D

Steve,don’t mean to be Mr. Negative, but just saw THIS over on RC about dried Pukani leaching PO4. Might be worth the read. On a side note, doesn’t Pukani sound like something you’d order in an Italian Restaurant…..”I’ll have the Pukani over linguini with extra parmigiano-reggiano.”

The anemones moved into where the Nuclear Green’s were. When there was one anemone amongst 50 zoas, it wasn’t a problem, but when there were 20 anemones in the same spot as the Green’s, the zoas lost out. I’m actually seeing that some zoas survived, so the colony of Green’s will probably recover.

Did a little housekeeping. I was given a little green anemone a while back where I was told it was a GBTA. It was green and had little bubble ends. It looked like a very small GBTA. It was a very nice looking little anemone that had a mild sting. Within a couple weeks there were two….then...

Wow Phil, thanks for sharing all those photos! I’ve always had interest to visiting that part of the world, but couldn’t take an entire day of travel….that’s the hard part. Can’t believe they eat cuttlefish! But I’m sure there were other delectable items that were more bizarre than that...

It appears to be a palythoa....a common soft coral. Must have been a "hitchhiker" on the rock. Your first coral!

Water changes are the way to go. Sugar or vodka dosing is not going to do anything. This “carbon” dosing is to stimulate the bacteria that converts ammonia to nitrite to nitrate. Once you get to nitrate, that’s it! Nitrate is the end of the line. The only way to get rid of it is to have...

LOL…..the word is piggyback. And yes, you can piggyback on this only if you take my TV. At that point, you may then post your item up for free (wives aren’t allowed :grin:).

First off, to the MODS, if I am breaking a rule posting this for free, please move this to the naughty place. I know there is a rule for SELLING “reef aquariums related items only,” but I’m not selling, I’m giving it away. I just wanted to offer this to my friends here before posting it...

Your other option is to get your water right from the source…..the Atlantic ocean. I don't think it's common here in NJ, but in Florida it is a common source for aquariums.

What he is saying is “Epsom salts alone is not an ideal magnesium supplement.” Just like magnesium chloride by itself is not an ideal magnesium supplement. However, if you mix magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) and magnesium chloride (MAG Flakes) in the right ratio, everything balances out. To...

That’s white noise with a mild melody! Now, if it masks my wife’s snoring, I’m sold! :grin:

HERE is the word according to the God of Aquaria Chemistry, Randy Holmes-Farley…about halfway down it talks about Epsom Salts and sulfate concentrations.

Looking good!

Quickly perusing through that link (I did not read for content). There were three things I did not like right off the bat: 1. Mag Flakes has contaminants that you don’t want in your tank 2. Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) can not be use (solely) as a Magnesium source….causes buildup of...

Thanks David, but when I click on that link, I also see "ONLY AVAILABLE IN STORE"

You’ve done a great job on with this build….love that rock work with all those shelves. The lights came out great too. Nice job in mounting them up. One concern is your sump….the partitions are very high, leaving you with very little additional volume in the sump. If you turn off your pump...

So I go to place the order for a new Acer AO722-0473 Netbook (and cable) on Amazon, waiting for today, since it’s Cyber-Monday, and hoping for an additional savings, but NO! Yesterday the price was $279, and today it’s $302?? What’s going on? I purposely waited, thinking that Cyber-Monday...

It’s not actually connected to the washing machine. Here’s the picture again to make it easier to see when I explain it: The rigid PVC coming out of the top of the drum transitions to a gray garden hose that is connected to a sillcock (outdoor faucet). My washing machine is just to the...

I’m already collecting the waste-water from my RO/DI unit…and that’s considerably more than what would be coming from the dehumidifier. Here’s a picture of the waste collection for the RO/DI….that white 55 gallon drum in the bottom of the picture collects the waste-water. If contains a MAG 12...
