I would remove the rubble. I started out with it in the sump and it got dirty fast. I fish trap should help it may take awhile but I caught all my fish that way. You can borrow it if you'd like. You can remove the sump and put a new but its not easy. There is a link somewhere on Reef central in...

Roy, Did you really write that last post!!! The guy that feeds baby mice to snakes says it mean to feed CC to a shrimp. Geeeez

I was at the Perco in Old Bridge this past weekend and the tanks get worse and worse. They had a Kole tang that was so faded it looked like a ghost. Another tang I couldn't even tell what kind had white fungus on it. Even the fresh water tanks look bad. Is it worth complaining to the Corporate...

I have to take Dr. Jim's side on this. I don't believe in inbreeding. I have been in the aquarium hobby for over 25 years mainly with fresh water. I can tell you that the following FW fish are affected by inbreeding because of articles I read and talking with dealers: Angels, Guppies and the...

Phil, I also have heard conflicting info about them. Since my son pulled out a bunch manually this morning he questioned why they were different. Seems I have 2 types: one has short stubby arms and the other has long thinner arms. I guess it comes done to species and one is safe and the other...

Was at the mall in Eatontown and my sonm talked me into stopping at the dreaded Petco for reptile supplies. While there I peeked at the fish selection which is half the size it was. They have a fairy Wrasse for $19.99 that looks similar to this...

Just to clarify; I had purchased one seahorse and it was prego.

When I first started the hobby many years ago I kept only fish. I had a nice community tank going and added a large black seahorse. It got along fine but had to be target fed. One day it gave birth and the other fish picked them off 1 by 1. The fish learned where fresh food was coming from and...

Thanks for all the responses. Never knew you could reuse the sediment another time. I guess I will siphon it off and remix before disposing. FYI I added a teaspoon in and my Green toadstool polyps popped out after about 3 weeks. So did my Green stars. Maybe it's a coincidence, not sure.

I heard there is a major transformer fire in Ocean.

I think MH OR RC has an article all about lighting by Sanjay.

I have mixed some Kalk and my question is... After it mixes and settles could I pour the mixture through some cheese cloth or a coffee filter to remove the sediment? This way I can drip dose and avoid clogging or excess kalk in my tank. Mark

I do feed Nori plus I have an auyomatic feeder that dumos Hikari seaweed flakes 2x a day. Candi, I had a clam with the 3 dwarfs but it didn't last long. Roy has a clam with his potters.

I put phosban and carbon in one reactor and they are separated by the flter pad. The phosban is on the bottom and carbon on top,otherwise the phosban may get out frm the holes on the plastic screen.

I would say irritating the crap out of them. No can do with another tank. Going to the reptile expo in Hamburg PA tomorrow. My son already has plans to buy some type of lizard. He wanted a snake but the wife said no way and agreed to a small lizard. Little does she know. He already has 5...

I have used it with fish only. I saw results the very next day.

Phil, Seems that way. Also, my Coral Beauty has disappeared since I got rid of the Keyhole. I am down to 1 dwarf angel now. I'll take that as sign I was pressing my luck. I wonder if the wife would go for another setup FOWLR....hahahahhhaa

Depends on what half eaten corals you have for trade...lol

Well I have confirmed that my Flame Angel has a taste for some SPS corals such as Pocillpora and the Green Slimer frag I won at the meeting. I won't be getting rid of it as it's my favorite fish.

I just take the cover off and clean that because it usually has green stringy algae. I also wipe off the impeller with my fingers if its covered in algae.
