roger is indeed his name. I met him when I traveled down to Austin. He was also at MACNA in Orlando. He may have even gone to the one in Iowa - but I didn't bother to attend that one. The man knows the product well. For what it's worth - I use barely half a cup of kalk for my 120 - and I...

If you deploy the kalk in the ATO container - it will undoubtedly reduce the life of the oz pump significantly. In addition, from what I read on kalk - it's reaction with H2O creates a very unstable solution - so much so that it's effectiveness gets reduced the more it is left sitting in a...

hang in there!

sorry to hear about the ranch moving on. But a tank of jawfish /eels or other odd critters would certainly be very interesting and appealing! I hate bubble algae...so i totally hear you about ripping the stuff out.

that was amazing...i missed both! waaaaahh....nice post jeff!

wow what a great idea - never thought of that.

given your set up - i think it would simple to add a kalkwasser reactor to the setup. instead of having your tunze osmolator go directly into the sump - just feed it into a kalkwasser reactor. The oz is designed so that either a) the pump never runs more than 5 mins or b) the eye sensor...

no dancing or singing? oh well. LOL. we definitely do not want crying! But in my own defense - i just want to say that I didn't come up with that idea "out of the box" by myself. It was more inspiration from mobert on RC who has raised 27 clowns in a single 180 gallon tank. She had...

You could conceivably flood the tank with percs. I mean like, have a single maroon and then like 15 percs. You will suffer a loss here and there but the principle behind this is simple - too many targets for one fish to chase. The only economical way you could do this is perhaps to get all...

i used an aqua C and they are very sensitive. I never had the remora but the principles behind the spray injection should hold the same. PE Mysis is very oily and if not pre-washed then I'm sure it would have an effect on the skimmer. Though i'm baffled as to why it's skimming so wet...most...

When I was at seaworld behind the scenes - they told me they had holding tanks for stuff that had been seized from customs due to lack of documentation. However - they also said the BULK of the stuff is typically dying/stinky/mess. I recall him saying something about corals being seized at...

I don't get why he was arrested in 2007 and it took them (almost) 5 years to render a conviction. People like him infuriate me and make the rest of the hobbyists look bad.

That may do it - just the additional flow will prevent the nutrients from accumulating in those dead spots driving the algae growth. with the stuff kicked up and about the algae spores will have less opportunity to settle on the spot to grow. Also - with regards to the clean up crew, You...

are all the pics made with your nikon? they are excellent!

As paul mentioned - the box trick is a good idea but you really don't know what will happen until the fish are interacting. For me it did not work. I have a pair of breeding false percula (i think, they may be just a cross between true percs and false) clowns and thought maybe if I added...

There is nothing wrong with a high bioload tank. It just means more frequent water changes or an oversized skimmer to power it. Your trigger looks nice and fat - perhaps cut back on the amount of food that is being fed. In this hobby - most people have disaster because of over-feeding, you...

Thumbs Up!!!!

dumb question but what does a 90 g "brick" mean? just non rr?

hey darren - that tank the fish is in appears to be either a frag tank or a bare bottom display. Is that ok to do with a wrasse? i thought they wanted a sandbed to sleep in? I think merv tried that once by putting small buckets of tupperware sand (since he wanted bare bottom, but also wrasses).

he's in the NJ turnpike 8A area i believe.
