I had some problems with my PH, which was posted in the Zoa forum. I was able to raiie it from 7.8 to 8.1 using Kent buffer. I know, I know. Anyway, did a water change of 7 gallons on my 75 gal tank and 30 gal sump. I just tested the PH and it dropped to 7.9, test was done 3 hrs later. I assumed...

How often should you change the phosban? I set mine up about two months ago and am wondering if its time to change it. Thanks, Mark

I acquired a 2.5" striatus tang about 2 months ago. Ever since it is in my tank the toadstool doesn't open, only at night and briefly. I caught him pecking around it and wont' move the fish to my sump and see if the leather opens more and during the day. A medium bottle trap won't fit in the...

I won a green hydno frag at the last meeting. It seemed to be doing well but I noticed that it is starting to turn a yellow brown color. I would say only 1/3 is still green. It was half way up the rocks. I have a 75 gallon tank, 2 VHO and 2 175w MH. Any advice would be appreciated. Mark

A law stating that in Liverpool, only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for UKTV Gold television out Tuesday.

I have purchased Zoas and they do fine whne first placed in the tank, all open and look great. After a few days only some open and others don't. Any suggestions as to why this is happening. Thanks, Mark

I hear that all NJ Reefers elected officers are giving away free frags this Halloween.... Just need to catch them before midnight... Just joking everyone. Didn't have any on-line Treats so I figured an on-line Trick would do this year.

I have a Torch coral that has grown twice the size since added to my tank. While re-aquascaping I noticed that some of the tentacles, on the bottom side, are white with pink tips. This side of the tentacles seem smaller than the others. Is this from lack of light? Or is it because its growing...

Can anyone lend me a power ahead until my Hydor part arrives? I have one in now but its not enough flow. The ceramic shaft broke on my Hydor 3 and am waiting for it to arrive. Thanks, Mark

Went to feed our Red ear Sliders and one had its leg stuck up the suction tube of the canister filter. I took off the screen to get more stuff sucked out a few days back. Not sure how this happened. We thought it was dead as it seemed lifeless. I pushed it out and it swam a little. Put into...

On the 75 I just upgraded to the only skimmer I have is a Prizm HOB. I wanted to put it on the sump. Problem is the highest water level in the sump is to low for the skimmer to work. It's a pain to lift the canopy every few days to check or empty the cup. Anyone have ideas on how I can get this...

I just upgraded to a 75 gallon tank. The Yellow Toadstool did great in the other tank. It opened in my new tank for a few days and then closed; hasn't opened in about a week. All other coral, inverts, fish are doing fine. I only have some softies and shrooms. The only thing I noticed is that a...
