    1 year old Ice cap 660 took a crap!

    I ran a 660 (4x48" VHO) for about six years before I had a problem with it. I had it fixed by IceCap and it's back on the tank for hopefully another six or until I upgrade to MH.

    What Does Aiptasia Look Like

    I don't know about zillions of spores, but you can't really pull them off the rock. They will regrow from what is left behind. I have killed them by using a syringe and injecting them with a very strong milky kalk mixture. Now I have shrimp that keep them knocked down pretty well. Lynn

    RO replacement filter where to buy

    Many of them are interchangeable, but I don't know about ALL of them. Mine is a Kent and it does take generic 10" replacement filters. I don't think I can give a link here even if this site doesn't sell them, but you should be able to google up some options pretty easily.

    Fs:overflow and filter

    I don't see a model CPR-125 overflow on their web site. Do you know what flow it is rated for?

    Anything for sale in NM

    Aer21, what size tank? I have a 100 gal. glass tank/stand that I am thinking of upgrading soon, sooner if I have a buyer. It is 60" long (i'm sure) and 18" wide (i think). Not reef ready. Tank is in pretty good shape. I'm sure there are probably scratches near the bottom where my sand bed is...

    Anyone in NM wanna trade?

    Hey Symon! I thought I would hijack this thread and say hi. I met with KD on Saturday for a bit of a swap. It's too bad you couldn't come by. I'd like to meet up one of these days. Where did you get the lights? I'm thinking of upgrading myself. Here's one of your frags in it's new home, KD. Later

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    I just wanted to say thanks, KD. I enjoyed the swap and I feel like I got a great deal. Those zoos are really beautiful colors. Everything opened up right away when I got home.

    Thinking about packing it in

    Hey, I'm with you Denny. My wife is due in two months with our first. Honestly, I think I may have gotten out a while back if not for the thought of how much I have invested (a number my wife can never know). However, now I'm getting reenergized and having a lot of fun with my tank. Good luck...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    KD, Saturday is good! When would you like to get together? I can't get the wife going very early, so anything before 12:00 noon is pretty tough for me, but not impossible. I'll e-mail my cell phone number. Send me a number where I can contact you. I'll plan on bringing you the caulastrea frag...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    KD, Does that mean you do not have time to get together before 1:00p while you are up in Los Alamos this Wednesday? Like I said, I could meet you anytime on Wednesday morning. As an alternative, the wife and I are planning to head down to Albuquerque next Saturday (11/5) to do some shopping. We...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    KD, I have to drive my wife to a doctor's appointment in Santa Fe at 2:00 on Wednesday. We will need to leave by 1:00 at the latest. If we could get together at lunchtime or earlier, I can do it. I don't know how that fits in with your schedule. I should have some purple. I'll see if I have a...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    Here are some pictures from my tank (perhaps, I've never posted any pictures.) I have lots of these zoanthus and spotted mushrooms. I could frag some off for you. I have one of these mushrooms (on the right) on a plug that you could have, but not this rock. I like this one. These polyps are...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    KD, I assumed I would kick in the extra frag if we were to split the polyps. Tormented, I have some zoanthid polyps that could go that I think are different than yours. Also, I could get you a mushroom or two fragged, if you are willing to wait a bit. And I've got green stars, but it sounds...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    I may not have anything ready to trade immediately, but I'm interested in working in that direction. I do have some stuff I'm willing to try to frag, I think. So maybe soon. I'll try to get some pics in the next day or two. It may be Saturday before I have time. I don't mind making the trip to...

    Anyone in El Paso/Las Cruces area?

    Hey guys! I was reading through your conversation. I'm in Los Alamos and I'd be interested in doing some trades at some point too. I let my tank go for... a while. I'm getting it cleaned up and back into shape. I'll be wanting to start adding to my stock soon. Right now it's mostly a...
