I guess my quarantine methods were poor at best. I always thought to just isolate and observe for 3 or so weeks, if all is well treatment is not necessary. I guess some managed to get in my tank and layed dormant till they multiplied. I believe i will do the copper treatment as my schedule...

I will be monitoring the fishes to see if this is indeed ICH for the next couple of days. I will also get my quartine tank going again in case I do have to treat. I plan on purchasing an Aqua Medic Fish Trap to try and get theses fishes out for treatment. During the time I will be running my DT...

Ich!! So when my actinics came on, I saw some white dots on my yellow tang. I am suspecting this is ICH. My tang is acting funny and looks like he is breathing hard. I fear I might lose him. :apologetic: I am just wondering how this could of happened! I quarantined all of my current stock for 3...

You guys might want to look into these fixtures http://reefbreeders.com/bridgelux_value.html, it's the same but atleast your backed by an american distributor and these fixtures are dimmable, easier for you to acclimate your exisiting corals to the new LED lighting. I was considering these...

looking good on those parameters Austyn, looks like things are stabling up.

well.. If you want to go LEDs and get something proven to work for a lot of reefers, look into "Reef Breeder's Value LED" http://reefbreeders.com/value_led_fixtures.html These are your typical "chinese led fixtures" but are backed by an american based distributor. they also changed out some...

LEDs or T5s maybe? what is your budget for the new fixtures?

It's more for color and to fill in shadows. the added par and spectrum from the t5s also benfits the health of the corals but depending on how much you will b supplementing the LEDs with, it really shouldn't make a difference that much.

I seriously need to make a trip out to you, awesome stuff.

+1 I couldn't have said this better! Also, this is often missed too but make sure you buy an appropriate power supply for your build! Don't cheap out in this either, I know you will see PS for cheap that say they can handle a certain wattage but dont be fooled! Don't want to invest all that...

looking good on those frags! nice sizes. cant wait to see the tank when its back to 100%

agree on pictures! I need to visit you guys soon!

very cool! it looks like Mary Lee was close to our waters! awesome find!

loving all the corals Austyn! that RBTA is looking mighty fine! :) haha

I have a very small frag of a green cap I can give you when I head down, I'll try to get a photo of it when I get a chance. It isnt very big, kinda broke off when I was moving things in my tank but it will grow! I have a purple cap too but it lost its color back when I had a mini cycle I am...

Same here! I am trying to get more SPS frags in my system and figure out a good regimen so I can finally put my BRS dosing pumps in use! can't wait to get a clam or two in my system!

I have mine in about 8 1/2" to 9" in water, similar to yours. Also, how do you know where you have your outlet set to? I have no indicator markings on my adjustment tube to even know. Are you getting the same froth as mine in the video below or better?? This was about an hour after a clean the...

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll have to think over the tang. If I do decide for the tang, I am definitely going to try and find a new home for my keyhole angel and maybe a chromis or two. Ryan, the anthias are beautiful. I definitely suggest them. Also, the black cap basslet look amazing...

I believe I will be doing the same thing if I do decide to pick up a PBrown Tang and go to Dr. Jim. Ryan, what is your stock list in the 90?

Yeah, I am reading that they are easily stressed fish. I don't know I may still pull the trigger only thing worries me would be the yellow in my tank. oh, and really? hmmm, I've been trying to find a sweet spot for this skimmer and I just feel like I havent been successful. I feel like my...
