    What type of sand?

    jorge used Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand. This the description on foster and smith website. "This mixed-grade aragonite substrate is perfectly suited as a reef tank bottom cover or for use with nitrate-reducing systems. The addition of small shells makes it ideal for aquariums with mature...

    4 month old clownfish: Slightly less than 3 month old clownfish: Others have beautiful wrasses or the blue-spot jaw. I know mine is plain old yellow-head - but he's special to me! My favorite reason for having sand in my tank:

    gotta get it all out

    i have black sand - I like the contrast as it's different from the usual white sand. jsantonli (spelling?) also has the black sand. My only issue with this is that there are minor bits of magnetic material in the sand - which is attracted to the mag floats - making it a potential scratch hazard...

    Phosban and Carbon Reactor

    hang in there. It takes time for the tank to mature before most of the nutrients are taken up. I felt like it took almost a year for me before the purple coralline really took over the tank. When you say algae on the glass - it sounds like it's just diatoms and not necessarily the hair algae or...

    A message from Colin Foord/Julian Sprung...read before april 12.

    This is written by Colin Foord - not me: Julian Sprung and I have been working together to come up with a 'form letter' in response to the potential ESA listing of 82 coral species (see below). We wrote it such that other coral aquaculturists/hobbyists can attach their name and hit 'send'. Here...

    Emerald Crab

    I guess I'll give the other opinion (which I believe to be the minority one) - I don't care for crabs. I only have a handful of hermits from macna because my girls wanted them (and they were free from coral morphologic). As they got large I drop them into my sump. I think I might have one hermit...

    Phosban and Carbon Reactor

    it sounds fine. You want the GFO to be slightly moving at the surface...otherwise you're not pushing at water thru at all. It should not be bouncing around as then the media will just dissolve quickly thru friction. Do you have a pic of the reactor?

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    yeah i have started to dump the excess rotifers into the display. No phyto though since that is just the refrigerated stuff - would just go foul in the tank unless the rots ate it. Anyways - my hopes are up again...as the clowns laid another batch.

    Keeping sps under leds?

    yep...same here. Idaho grape cap is completely washed out in color under my leds. Same with the superman montis. Of course my water quality is really bad because i haven't been good about maintaining it - but to me T5s or MH are the way to go. But then again the newer LEDS may be better.

    Twisteds 75 reeftank

    if possible remove the LR they are on an give it a little squirt of lemon juice. i've also just covered them with a small batch of epoxy. Supposedly joes juice or some kalk injected into them does the trick. good luck!
