Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Don't give up on any of your corals right away. They may surprise you. I have a frogspawn that really was beat up by high temps last year and it is now doing pretty well.
Cool Paul, thanks for the tips. I was talking with Bill the other night at AO and seems like you have a bunch of us hooked on the idea. Will let you know how it works out. Appreciate the participation here you really added a lot to the board in your short time here.

Take care of that Bax the infection can be a bugger. Make sure you swirl your wiskey with that finger or something. Glad to hear you got everything moved. Hope you took some pictures to document it all.
If you have a canister filter you can run it on a very temporary basis just to clean the gunk from the water after stirring it up. Have read that some have success with that, and if the premise is your rocks are trapping waste then this might help speed things along.
You have to buy the PH probe on the jr....don't know about the III. I ordered the jr with additional PH probe...not the lab grade just standard one. Choose the option on the page with the jr as I couldn't find the standard probe separately.
I agree with the above.
I would do a minimum of 20% water change max 50% depending on what you can afford, try to do it once or twice with max amount.
Make sure you blow the rocks with a turkey baster or power head before you start the water change.
Try to limit how much you feed the tank...
First if you have mangroves then you need the mud.
You don't need mud in the refugium, it is supposed to supply trace minerals ect. However I bought it with my refugium, covered with sand and rubble with cheato on top. Works great for me. Will not make any claims on its vital importance, but I...

Oh and they will customize what you...
Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.
Yes it seems to like it there. I think it was a little darker when I got it, I guess it was probably under MH. Growth has been good and looks happy.
Thanks Bill, my one hammer is doing well enough to remind me of your tank. I am hoping the rest...
The ones that you can control yes I would think so. But that is getting pretty expensive. And honestly they are not small powerheads. So 4 will take up 4 times the room in your tank as the Vortech. If you I use MJ900 like I said on wave makers for my "cheap" alternative to the Vortechs....the...
