Here are some shots of my tank. I will post as I take them. The first is my favorite fish in the tank.

During the November meeting while Phyl was giving the photo presentation I thought these ideas are great if you had a nice expensive camera. Well, when I got home she inspired to dig out the extremely dusty manual to my Olympus camera. To my surprise it has settings for macro and super macro...

I purchased this Green tyree from Candi and it did great for a week. I noticed a crab, some type of mithrax, bothering it. It took several days to catch the crab. The coral hasn't extended polyps in about 4 days now. You can see the chunks of flesh the crab tour off on the top of the pics. What...

I noticed lately that when I put my hand in the tank I get what seems like an electric shock under my finger nails. Not very strong but enough for me to notice. At first I thought it was a cut under my nail as it partially ripped off. I would expect a burn not a shock if it was the cut. Any...

Does anyone know anything about this skimmer? I was thinking of getting it and adding it as an extra. I can get it cheap. D&D Marine Typhoon hang - on skimmer Mark

Okay, Phil let me borrow his TDS meter today and the reading I get from the faucet is 137ppm. Does that sound normal? Tomorrow I will test the RO water.

After speaking with other members and checking out thier setup I belive it was hooked up incorrcetly. So, I have a red tube which goes from the faucet to one of the large vertical chambers on the end. The orange tube has a switch which I think is the waste water and the blue one should be the...

Has anyone seen since this product or use it? I stumbled across it on the web and find it hard to believe. http://www.ecoaqualizer.com/products-x.htm

Can someone tell me why the RO unit is not producing water. I am suppose to be in an area that has high water pressure. I am using the garden hose adapter on an outside faucet. Its been connected now for 20min and nothing.

What can I do to keep my nitrates down? I feed two frozen cubes a day and there is an auto feeder that dumps seaweed flakes twice a day, small amount. I perform a 15 gallon water change monthly. All other params are in check: Nitrate - 50/60 salinity - 1.027 PH - 8.0 Nitrite - 0 Ammonia - 0 Alk...

Added a yellow toadstool on Friday and it was doing well in my tank. The past 2 days it is collapsing upon itself but the polyps seem to be out. It is also more yellow than when first put in. Should I be concerned? Here is a pic. Mark

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 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...

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

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...

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

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
