Was there this weekend. Tanks looked pretty bad and fish names posted on te tanks were not correct. Example: Sign posted said Scooter blenny $29.99 but the tank actually housed a Lawn Mower blenny. Seemed pricey on his inverts as well.

I'm thinking of joining but would like to attend a meeting first if that's okay. I would like to try and make Jan but depends on work schedule. LMK Mark

Agree. was there today also and picke dup a shrimp. Most informative and very helpful. Even searched the web on their computer for me trying to find an upgrade kit for my skimmer.

Okay. Just placed some phosphate absorbing pads in my canister and replaced a bulb. Originaly had a Coral life 420 50/50 actinic with a normal flourescent. The ACT is 2 months old and the other over 6 months. Now both bilbs are the coral life actinic. I noticed that the lighting looks purplish...

Actually, just found this one; its 9" wide so will fit. Is anyone familiar with the cyclone Biofilter? http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/cyclone.html edit:  fixed url link

Appreciate the reply but the width of the stand is to narrow. Your sump is 12" wide and my stand is 10" wide.

I was considering purchasing a sump for my 55gal but the inside stand measurements is about 10" front to back. I haven't found anything this narrow searching on-line. Would a refugium be an alternative? I was looikng at the "PRO 18 Hang On Refugium". I want to can my canister on the marine tank...

Re: Frag glue done Just glued the Kenya trees and so far so good. Also, glued a small mat of start polyps to stay in place. All clral was fixed to small pieces of broken bleached coral rubble I had lying around. Thanks to all for the input.

Just bought some Scotch brand super glue gel. Will probably try attching them tonight.

Momof6kids, Are they there all year? If I tried catching some now think I could?

Thanks for the info. The shroom does have some rubble so should be easy to glue.

If I use any type of super glue won't it kill the fish in my tank?

I have several small pieces of coral that just keep flying around the tank. Only one hobby store by me that I am aware of they don't have "cyanoacrylate glue". I even tried Micheals with no luck. Is there anything else I can use? Also, would work for a mushroom about the size of a half dollar...

They look great... What part of Shark River were you in? I only live about 30min drive from there and never you could find them there.

Thanks. But wouldn't I need more live rock to have an effecient biologocal filter? If I did do this how often would I need to replace the carbon and phosphate absorbing media? I have heard that phosphate absorbing media only works for a vey brief time, less than a month.

Brian, I have 20lbs of live sand and about 30lbs to 35lbs of live rock in the tank. Mark

Thanks for the info. So then should I remove the foam from my other filter and add more ceramic media this way both will be strictly biological?

I currently have a Rena Filstart XP3 filtering my 55 gal with a Prizm skimmer and a power head for water movement. The canister is setup with both mechnical and bilogical meduia. Some one just gave me another XP3. I was considering making the one on my tank strictly biological and making the new...

I don't know that is. So I guess the answer is no.

Does anyone know how I can cut some live rock? I have a few pieces with some polyps on them and thought about cutting the rock into smaller pieces. So I could move them up near the light or sell or trade. I thought a hack saw might be best.
