also, I'm sure you probably already considered this, but how reliable is your test kit?

Sounds like you did everything correctly. You should have plenty of bacteria built up by now... I have a 20 gallon QT and ended up putting a cup full of my live sand in when I started it up. It seemed to get me to the "0" NO2 level, but it was so long ago that I can't remember if I had a slow...

Hi Ioannis, Could be Lymphocytis. My Percs had it and I treated them with Maracyn 2. I think the best thing to do is ensure good water quality. It supposedly cures itself if the conditions are right. I'm not sure if that is what you are seeing, but since you said white cotton puffs and it was on...

Hi Madison, I'm not Beth but will chime in anyway... If you haven't left yet see if you can get the water down to 14 ppt. That is suffiscient to start getting rid of the ich. You will want to leave it in that salinity for awhile so leaving him there during your trip won't cause a problem. I'm...

I have a Coral Beauty and she hasn't bothered any of the corals:

Hey, thanks Little!! That's a very nice thing to say! I'm glad you enjoyed that adventure... Unfortunately I chopped off the two frags at their base and gave them to the fish store. Didn't know what else to do with them?!?!? The two bases are regrowing polyps and will begin to branch out soon...

Hi Sandiegan, Do a search on puget sound. I remember someone having a coldwater system with anenome's, coldwater fish species, etc. I think it was on this message board but not sure.

fourline wrasse-Quatro I like that one...... cool!

Thanks, unfortunately it's sad to look at that picture.... funny how you get attached to a fish!

I never heard that naming fish was bad luck...... Now I'm worried!! I have Cora and of course Nemo, the 2 Percs, five chromis who we just call "the babies" and a new Coral Beauty we named Condoleeza after the woman who will be our first female President! ....and you might remember my firefish...

Great News Armlocker! Some of them just need a little more time than others......

They are very hardy! I tried to move mine once and it was stuck in a hole in a rock. I pulled too hard and the entire sheath ripped right off in my hand! Then the duster spit the feathers all over the tank and all that was left was a nub at the opening of the hole! I moved the rock and thought...

Hi Beth, SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. It's the standard for the 35 millimeter film cameras that we all have tucked away on the shelf. The new Digital SLR's allow you to swap lenses like the old film cameras. As mentioned, very expensive! (of course, that's what my wife wants next) Hey, new...

Originally posted by Armlocker I have a large thread in the reef section of the boards asking the same question, if you can find it, theres lots of good info there. For the most part people say its a coral that can take up to 3 weeks to acclimate and will stay closed for random amounts of time...

I like the little side cabinet that hides your reactor! Pretty ingenius putting on the fake drawers! Great Setup!

Thanks, believe it or not, that tank is just five NO 40 watt bulbs. I have two 10,000 K, two 50/50s and one actinic. Seems to work since everything in there grows like crazy!

1: What kind of filteration do you currently have? Live Rock, Skimmer and I run a HOB carbon filter about 3 hours every 2 weeks2: Does your water stay perfectly clear with the occasional sand storm? Yes, for the most part 3: What kind of skimmer are you running? Is it Quiet? Seaclone 100, not...

someone had hi-jacked her picture of Newman and photoshopped him into a toilet!! He is now being sent all around the world via email....

...we thought that was funny but also commented that it looked alot like one of our cats, Newman! So she went and started looking thru her old photos that she posted on an on-line gallery and she found this:

Speaking of cats, check this out: You know how you occasionally get emails that have been sent all around the country, funny ones, etc? Well my wife and I both got an email from a friend entitled "what cats do when your not at home" One of the pictures was this:
