Happy Birthday Mike. I hope you were pointing at Nikki! ;D ;D

So I’ve been using the wavemaker function on the RK2 for little over a month and, about a week ago, I noticed one of the new Koralias is running backwards. I know this was common with the old Koralias, but for some reason, I thought they had straightened this out with the new ones. Spent the...

Aye Captain. And how many would you like me to beam up?

Light brown/tan clove polyps. Looks like flowing hair in the currents of the tank. Free! Here’s a picture of the colony…I’ll pick off a clump if you’re interested.

(Qwik, James is talking to me....I’m a Paul too....he got his RBTA from me....but if you two guys can work something out....I know nothing.) James, the red guy we have has only split once....and you have that “baby.” And I’m terrible with time, but I’d guess I’ve had red for about two-plus...

These guys are maybe one inch across while my RBTA is about 4 - 5 inches across. Why are they spitting while the red is happy and not splitting. By the way, Red was fed when the Greens were fed.

I picked up a Green Bubble tip from a local NJRC member a couple months ago (one street away from me)…thanks Bill. Anyway, I feed the little bugger whenever I thought about it…maybe once a month or so. So about a week or two ago I thought it split…still relatively small, but now two small...

I agree with adding a dedicated outlet for the tank...and have them make it a 20 amp breaker. mnat, if my code recollection is correct, NJ requires microwaves to have a dedicated breaker. Call your landlord and ask him if he/she would fix it.

Again, good advise! I’m nursing number two right now. One more and I’m cured…or something is cured…who cares. Now where did I leave that jar of olives? If it is but one spore, that is one spore too many! If you wish you may come over and count my spores. I’ll make the martinis while you are...

Now we are talking some useful advice. I’m not sure how this is going to get rid of my bulb algae problem, but maybe after a few martinis...who cares!

I had picked up bubble algae a couple months ago from frags I had picked up (no names mentioned), and was then very vigilant in plucking these emerald gems out of the tank every time I say them. About 2-3 weeks ago I thought I had them beat. Today I look in the tank and see this beast sticking...

Having two Mag pumps, a 24 and a 9.5, and with the lights on, my heater does not come on.  But at night, when the lights are off, it does. We've had this discussion before, but grounding probes only protect you.  They actually could be the cause of killing off your fish.  By providing a...

Thanks everyone for the well-wishes. I’ve reached that age where I’d be willing to trade the “happy” with pain-free Birthday. With the sports and running I do, rolling out of bed in the morning is agony, and with each passing year, it gets worse. I sound like a moose in heat with the grunts and...

Bio-spira is one of the products.

Hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizing agent. I’m assuming you are using the stuff you get at your local drug store…I think 3 percent. Unless you are directly applying this stuff to the subject algae, it is immediately consumed once added to the tank. In the pH 8.0 or so, hydrogen...

My first choice is to get rid of the mechanical filter all together. If you do keep it, I’d get rid of the sponges. Unless you are cleaning them with get frequency, they just trap stuff. Let the biology in the tank/sump/refugium “eat” this stuff and get rid of it.

Mike, thanks for the additional info on this bulb. I went to check this out on-line. I found the following bulb listed at $49 (new lower price…originally at $59.98). Titled 12-Watt 5-LED PAR30 Reflector Bulb. Unfortunately they did not have any other specifications on this bulb. Even at the...

Phyl, when's the last time you talked to John? ;D

Mike (or is this Nichole??), this was a week and a half ago...I've recovered. But thanks for the info.
