Gentelemen I would be very intrested to know about your calcium levels and how much kalkwassar you are useing. also if you are using any addatives to promote coraline algea. I had a huge problem with red algea slime, discusting it was everywhere rock,substrate,glass powerheads,I mean everywhere...

This is cool, things like this can make you lose sleep and or race home after work just to keep up with the actions. the only thing that would bother me is the unknown a cocoon can have 1 living organisim or thousands and if it is undesireable man what a mess. I do beleve I would quarantine the...

I agree with claton on the 1 degree change but with the heat in your tank you are stressing the corals any way, you have to get the temp. down or risk loseing all your stuff get a long tube and a bucket fill the bucket with water at a temp. 4 deg. lower than your tanks temp. coil as much tubeing...

coraline algea is a living organisim and needs to have an inviroment in order to survive lighting and minerals are an esential part to its health.There are several products on the market that can help, but it will take a few mounths to get the color back. I personaly use a product called coral...

the biggest problem with lighting times is that they are generaly made for lamps ie. two prongs while any thing around water really needs to be grounded [the third prong] so you should make sure that your timer is a heavey duty out door type with a ground. for a few $$ more

vacume the U/G real well using either a syphon or a canaster and a diatom filter get everywhere even if you have to move rocks or anything else.

Actually under the right conditions 3 volts a/c can break the normal rythem of your hart causeing death.

Also if your going to Install a G.F.I. you will have to know the supply [line] side of the circut and the outgoing [load] side, or the side going to the rest of the recepticals on the circut.Remember That green or bare wires are the grounging wires and the whites are the nuetrals and all others...

As an electrician I strongly sugest ground fault circut interupters, they have saved many lives. however they can be wired wrong, and I do suggest that you find a quilifed electrician. but knowing that some of you will do this your self you should know that you can purchase models that will...

I just read an artical on aiptasia, in april 2000 Freshwater and Marine Aquarium. where the author suggests "Nuking the zoophytes with a consentrated kalkwasser mix" now this seems a little radical to me. But considering the alternatives it might be worth a try, I imagane using a vial with a 1/8...

thanks to halaide even though a large portion of this coral died a small aprox. 1-1/2" section seems to be doing well. I ended up moveing it out of the strong flow inorder to catch a 8 lined wrasse and noticed it protruding from it skellaton and decided to leave it in a low flow area it seems to...
