i've heard good thing about the Hannah hand held's and i have their TDS meter and it works great. for pH/ORP monitors/controllers i use PinPoint myself. kc

Originally posted by flipper263 Anyone else? with the given choices the remora 'pro' would be the better of them. if you have a sump then i'd suggest a Euro-Reef. the 5-3 cost $250 US and is conciderably more of a skimmer then the remora pro. hth kc

to have successful luck in doing it you would be far better off trying it in a fuge setup rather then a tank with just a LR. the larva have 7 stages of planktonic form before they metamorphous into actual shrimp. during this time they are very delicate and weak and can be damaged by any...

they will pair, but IME not spawn. kc

with what you post your Ca is 600ppm. a water change will reduce NO3. kc

very little. bacteria do live in the water but its a very small amount. the only benifite to it is IMO the water is more closely matched to what the fish/corals are being kept in when you use old water. kc

if you add two males yes by all means they will fight regardless of coloration. two females or a male/female pair will work. kc

with just replacing the substrate no. your rock should be fully curred allready and any cycle you'll get from adding new substrate will be minimal and easily taken care of with a water change if needed (most likely wont need to do one) kc

you should allready have the LR back in, it will make the water clear up conciderably faster. kc

time is the best thing. bacteria will form on the particals of sand in the water and cause it to sink and stay down, over time you'll not get sandstorms when something disturbs the sand. kc

it would really depend on the design of the stand. the stand on my 75 has a middle piece between the two doors but it's just a place for the doors to meet on. my 180g stand has a fully open back, i built it that way to get the sump in the stand. the sump is 72x24x18 kc

as mentioned they will do this when reaching for light, they also do it just before they 'pinch' the cap off of themselves in an attempt to propagate. the cap will detach and float around the tank and settle somewhere and start a new colony. hth kc

Originally posted by RYKAC Would 30Lx12Wx16H be a good size sump/fuge for my 75? anything is better then nothing, bigger is always better. but even with a small sump your still getting surface skimming and better gas exchange. Also how much room should i leave for a skimmer(currently a...

it really depends on the width and height of the baffles as well as the flow you have through them. if you get them to close for the width/height/flow of the sump they will suck any bubbles along with the water flow rather then trap them out. hth kc

i feed mine silversides and krill with ocassional sea urchins. i honestly dont see brine shrim being big enough for mine to take an interest unless your feeding the frozen cubes in a block form. hth kc

set the white balance in manual mode, use a tripod and take the pic in macro mode. you'll end up with great pics. hth kc

it's illegal (or at least was when I was installing cell towers a few yrs back) for anyone to solicit you on your cell phone due to the fact that you pay for air time. it's an FCC violation (each state has their own regulations on it), you just need to report the caller/text sender. hth kc

well the term Naso is used to as an in general. there are if memory serves me correct 16 sub species of Naso's with the one's in the hobby falling under Naso lituratus. I'm sure all of them come from the Indo-Pacific (Hawaii, Indian Ocean, and the Red Sea) with most being imported from the Red...

Originally posted by ebsOCHIN kc36330 SWEEEEET! How long have you had it? I've had her for about a year now, I actually got a good deal, traded 6 small Xenia frags for her. I have to say that the naso is my favorite fish. What do you think? Tangs in general are by far my favorite fish, but...
