Prazi is a great medicine for a bunch of different parasites (internal and external) that is widely used in the aquarium. Fish can lose appetite during treatment so just keep that in mind, some people like to make sure they are eating before they dose the prazi to make sure they have a healthy...

Zoas depending on where they are coming from can be high light or low light so it is going to depend on each frag. The general rule of thumb is to start low and then move them up if they are stretching for light. Be careful with the button polyps and keep them isolated off the live rock. They...

As I posted in another thread: DISCLAIMER: Dosing for SPS is not a magic cure all that will give you instant color, pe and growth IF YOUR ALK, CAL, AND MAG are our of line. With that being said, if you are running a ULNS system through zeo or biopellets/carbon dosing, it has been shown that...

The gold assesors from ORA are cheaper and AO has them in stock right now, not to mention I would always recommend tank raised over wild caught (if available). 4 anthias is not an issue, they do better in harems of one male and many females so 1 male and three females would be fine. The...

Keep the phosguard. Pulling the kent carbon was smart, there was a recall at some point I believe on it as this problem has popped up for a lot of people. You do not want to make too many changes too soon, or that could hurt the corals as well. I use the BRS rox carbon which seems to be a very...

At first I though that was just a list of fish you were picking from not all of them. That would be too many fish for the tank. 1. Anthias: Take a look at: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+20+1553&pcatid=1553 They are also smaller and tend to be more hardy. Just...

Mystery wrasses are one of the fish who love them. We clipped them with a pair of bone cutters as well. As much as I hate to say this, if they are just on the zoa colony, get rid of the zoa colony. As others have said they can spread and be really hard to keep on top of.

For my 6 bulb: 3 ati Blue+ 2 ati coral+ and one figi pink/ati purple bulb For the eight bulb I would just add two more of the blue+ and coral+. If you like the color, add a pink and a blue+

I think is time for that 80. Corals look great.

Just make sure the 80g is drillable and not all tempered glass. I know some other have run into the fact with deep blue tanks (though not in this size). I have the rimless tank and love it, so it is a very good choice. The overflow is not huge, but I understand in a penninsula style layout...

I am 24601 butt hat is besides the point. I believe the black and white is a false perc. The way to tell is by counting the dorsal spikes. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/anemoneclownfishprofiles/ss/sbstruevsfalseperc_2.htm

That is what this club is for.

Nice write up, so if I am reading this correctly, 10mls per week is the dosage? It is very hard to have a true scientific comparison whenever you are dealing with live animals, so we get as close as we can. Have you kept an eye on growth in the time period and how is compares to other times?

Anything with aminos and other stuff is going to have some nutrients. Thank you for writing this, I know Trop is getting some in and I will be picking up a bottle. I may have missed it, but how much are you dosing and what intervals are you dosing it at?

I just got home a little while ago after a 2 hour commute home. Parkway is basically 10mph the whole way down.

That is going to be tough in the middle of a snow storm. Do you have any extra water you can mix? If you can run to the supermarket and buy some distilled you can mix that into some salt real quick. We crashed our tanks in the middle of a snow storm due to a power outage so I feel your pain.

I have my ATO setup like this: RODI to a 65g tank which has a shutoff. I then plug in a pump to move water into a 20g tank that is actually connected to the ATO. I know some people like to do this all in one but I find having a human point in there is good. However sometimes I plug in the...

They are closing my office at 1 today, it is coming down pretty heavy here in Red Bank.

We just bought a larval trap not to long ago, which is probably the best way to get the larvae. Most larvae hatch well after the lights are out in your tank, so it is going to be very difficult for you to try and catch them with a turkey baster. As other have said above, tiny larvae need tiny...

I would go, but we are going to be going on vacation that day. It takes place at the Atlantis Aquarium so you have dinner and cocktails next to the 20k gallon tank. Good speakers also make this one fun.
