    New 80G tank

    Looks awesome! Just be real careful using the suction cups on your Seio Powerheads. I used them for a while until one day while I was at work, one let go and created the biggest sand storm you could imagin. Could have been a disaster if it stayed that way for a long period of time. Otherwise...

    Farrider, do you have any live sand or rubble in there as well? And do you have pods growing in there?

    extremly crappy shipping of sun coral

    I don't think they will die. Rub off all the crap with your fingers gently in some water. The polyps should be closed and you shouldn't be able to damage them. Mine only come out when I feed the tank or at night so don't be surprised if they dont come out immediately.

    Emperor 400 as an HOB Refugium?

    Well I have had the emperor 400 since I started my tank. I have a remora pro skimmer and 60-70 lbs of live rock. I kinda stopped using the emperor and it has recently just been sitting there. Well I had an idea that if I put lights over it, some LR rubble, and some Chaeto, wouldn't it be a...

    54 gallon project...

    I don't understand how you cannot grasp these concepts after all the discussion in this thread and info already posted on this site. Especially since it is evident that you know how to navigate the forums seeing that you are all over the place offering bogus advise to people who think you know...

    how to frag toadstool??

    I just took mine out and placed it on a cutting board. I sliced it up with a razor blade in pie shaped pieces. Then I tightly attached them to rocks with bridal netting and an elastic. After two weeks, they were attached and I could place them where I wanted in the tank. It has been a while...

    How are my levels?

    You should change over to RO definitely. But your damage is done. You are cycling. Just watch your levels and if they get higher, then water changes. Hopefully the ammonia and trite will settle and you will be left with trate. Then the cycle is almost over. Hopefully you won't lose anything...

    How are my levels?

    Poisoning the bacteria with chlorinated water changes or sudden temperature changes can also set the cycling process back to day one. You said you are just using a water filter. I don't know what you are using for a water filter, but I don't think they usually capture chlorine. I'm not a pro...

    How are my levels?

    It seems like those numbers represent your tank going through a cycle. New tank syndrome??? Anyone else know for sure?

    Resembles a Chiton. Can't find anything that looks exactly like it. I just want to make sure before I put it back in the tank, that this isn't the creature depleting my Zoo population.
