I've had a reef almost 15 years, but made an elementary mistake. I added a naso tang to my 252g reef. The naso apeared in perfect shape. within 2-3 day my yellow eye tank was plastered in ich then my yellow tang and the naso got it. The other tangs were in perfect health. The yellow eye died and...

was wondering cuz it really is a large peice, at one time it shot out a net or web several inches to attack another coral, shuda took a pic ot ws pretty wild

I know hydnophora is somewhat toxic, but over the years this peice I have has gotton huge, really huge, was wondering if its possible its poisoning my tank. 252g dt 100g sump. two other things I discovered today, the RO/DI was dripping from the spout, so in other words non-filtered water been...

Here's the cure-all I posted originally way back. If your algea problem is fixed by adding a lawnmower blenny or a seahair trust me, you may have some algea but you dont have a real problem Here's my algea 101 rant I'm gonna give you my advise on the nasty hair algae curse. Not everone will...

Maybe instead of cutting off the barb on your tangs you could put a little peice of cork on the sharp part like they do for tarded people when they try to use a fork.......lol

Oh no, I'm to dumb to do that I'm trying to grow coral lol

Hallelujah ! Reef on brotha !

Holly crapola I started this thread and got tied up I about fell over when seen all the responses. I guess I should have stated a few reasons why glass is better(mostly) I run 6 400w metal halids and 4 6foot 165w VHO atinics currently on a 252g acrylic. the first thing that happened was it...

I'll never use acrylic again. I swear a fart would even scatch it !

I have to say I think adding vodka is insane. Deosnt matter if it lowers nitrates or not, what else is it doing and if vodka is to only be used by an experienced reefer I'd have to question why is an experienced reefer having long term nitrate trouble? I believe having the proper filtration for...

Was wondering when some you get your fish from fed-x how long after that do start to drip for acclimation, ofcourse the sooner the better, but I'm in a situation where it may be several hours after I get my fish from fed-x that I will be home. If the fish were sent yesterday how much time do I have?

I think the sohal is the meanest, not a bad idea on the yellows I've had em be docile or bullies. The naso's Ive had have all been docile

Joes juice works but a waste of money, Teen has it right give em a squirt of calcium. Get a plastic syringe and start squirtin. I adapted my syringe to a long plastic handle with long push rod so I can squirt without putn my hands in the tank
