1) I want add some color to my tank was thinking of getting a red gorgonian. Does any have experience with this coral? Is hard to care for, lighting, feeding, etc? 2) I have a minor amount of cyano on my sand right up front. I hate to stir up my sand. The cause is mostly because of some food I...

I agree a swing arm is usually off. I compared my swing arm to my refractometer and to figure this out. The swing arm would read 1.024 and the refractometer had 1.028. I would bring teh water sample some where to be tested.

I heard Maidens hair is difficult to control; as bad as hair algae. I would research that before adding it.

I agree leave it be for a while. I hate the right side of tank as well. But over time it grew on me and now i don't mind it so much. But I am alwys looking for a way to chnage it. If you need a hand let me know as I am a few towns over.

After looking at those pics I am to embarrassed to say what I drive.

I bought a small flower anemone on Saturday, about 2" diameter. It hasn't attached it self to any rock or sand. It does open up when placed upright. Because it's not attached to anything I keep finding it upside and have to right it. I placed rubble rock around it but no good. Any suggestions...

All, Thanks for the replies and link. Although, they are cheap and nice looking I won't be getting one. I have to many gobies, very shallow sand bed and my tank is 75g while min is 100g. Mark

Does anyone know how big a Caribean carpet anemone gets? I saw some at the store for $10 they were about 4" to 7". Thanks, Mark

Yes, you can cycle with any mollie. Mollies are a brackish water fish and can be acclimated to fresh or salt; most are usually in fresh at stores. One local store sells marine mollies at 2x or 3x the normal price; really ticks me off. I had a pair of orange sailfin mollies in my 55g marine tank...

I didn't think you could put the Hydor's on a wave maker system. Heard they burn out from stopping and starting.

Dave, Good point I keep mainly LPS and softies. If I can't redice the flow some I'll see if any wants to trade or I'll just alternate turning them on. Only porblem is right now I will have to do it manually per day.

Thanks everyone. the 3's didn't seem to be pushing much water which is why i went to the 4's. I'll postion the return to the fron middle and see if that helps.

I was wondering if this is to much flow for a 75 gallon RR tank. I have two Hydor 4 pumps pointing at each other from the left and right side of the tank. The frogspawn didn't like all the flow so I moved it some where else. Prior to this config I had them point to the front center from the back...

You can just use Excel and create it all your self. I have done this in the past. You can even tie it into a calendar as stated prior. No unwanted adds and no memory issues.

I have an open jar of kalkwasser about 3/4 full. I obtained it when buying a bunch of other stuff a few months back. I don't plan on dosing my tank with Kalk; well not yet anyway. Free to who ever can pick up. Mark

Thanks.

Finally I have time to setup my RO unit. There is RO Membrane element but the instructions don't state where it goes. Anyone here know where this thing should be placed? Thanks, Mark

TFH magazine had something about them a few months back.

I'll sit on the beach; any day is good except for the 23rd.
