I checked for previous posts about killing flatworms and saw yours. I just got some Flatworm Exit and would like to know your results before I dose it. Thanks.

I still need a conformation that my moon lighting is wired correctly before I have it run for an extendend period of time. Here's a picture of it in effect though. Someone please let me know if the wiring is correct. Thanks.

Ya, I read those, that's where I got the instructions. I just want to make sure. Hopefully gator will see this and let me know. Thanks.

Upon seeing so many posts about making your own moonlights, I made some myself. I'm using a 4.5V, 400mA power source and have 4 blue LED's rated at 3.7-4.5V, 20-30mA in a parallel circuit. Question is: do I need to use resistors? I've tried it out and it works great, I'm just worried about...

I bought a couple of pieces a while back and they were loaded with good stuff. I had a small colony of porities (I think) grow off of it, now about 4 inches long. Along with this was an encrusting brown coralline algae, some Halmidia, a couple sea squirts, and the best purrple coralline in my...

I think I found out what the problem with my open brain is. It's been "deflated" for a few weeks now, and no conditions have changed recently. Apparantly, my Regal has discovered that if it pecks at it, it releases that brown, slimy waste from its mouths and it can eat it. Kind of like a...

I got the first sprig last June. It started splitting slowly, but then took off a few months ago. I figure it grew to about 70 individuals since I got it. I have 4x96watt PC's. They're pretty close to the top, which is probably the reason for their success. Check out the link to my site, you...

Propagate them how? Just rip them off the rock? I don't want the remaining bits to regrow. Does anyone do the old "syringe full of kakwasser" trick on xenia?

What are the most common methods of controlling the rapid spread of Xenia colonies?

No, I havent had any parameter changes recently. I fed it a chunk of Formula I and it, very, very slowly, opened a few of its mouths and ate it. I'll keep doing this every couple of days and see what happens. Another thought is that at about the time this happened, my xenia colony had reached...

Its in the same spot it was when I got it over a year ago, and I haven't made any changes to the water flow. I've been running 4x96 watt PC's since before I got it, and there hasn't been any color change in the coral. Any other ideas?

Now:

My open brain coral hasn't been "inflating" as much lately as it used to. It used to get big and fat, but now is almost always shrunken. It gets bigger when the lights are off, and then shrinks in size as the day goes on. If my parameters are all within normal limits, what is going on? Has...

I got a mandarin about a month ago, and my purple pseudochromis has it out for him. He only allows him a small area of the tank and I think he might starve without access to the other 100 pounds of LR he can't get at. I tried to physically move the mandarin to the other side of the tank but he...

Did you drill through the glass yourself, or get someone to do it? I've asked a few glass stores, and noone seems very excited to mess with it.

My tank used to reach 82 during the day. During a heat wave last year, it went up to 84 and my Xenia melted away. I bought a new central air unit since then, but I used to use a clip on desk fan to cool off the tank. I would just slide over the light, clip it on the edge and blow it directly...

Does anyone use this RO unit? I'm wondering where one can get cheaper filters than on their web site. Are the filters pretty universal or are they specific to the manufacturer? I have the CSP-60 model.

I add phytoplankton because they are filter feeders... right? I know they get most of their food photosynthetically, but they also filter feed. My main question should have been whether people keep these without the aid of metal halides. My clam is about 4 inches. It seems to be turning...

I bought a Tridacna deresa clam about two weeks ago and it seems to be doing fine. I have it resting in the sand at the bottom of the tank under 4x96 watt PC's in a 90 gallon tank. I was told that my lights should be enough, but are there any signs I should be looking for if they're not? I...
