If you're only wanting to supplement the Kessil and don't need "visible light" for viewing, ATI true actinic and coral plus bulbs will help tremendously with photosynthesis in your corals.

Waste not... want not. At least the shrimp wasn't still in it! LOL! The molt is a good source of calcium, which can help the emerald (form a new shell) when its' time to molt comes around. ;)

How did the auctions go? Did you snag a few goodies???

I need to add to my previous post... while the Coral Plus bulb will work great at supplying your corals the necessary spectrum of light for photosynthesis, it's not going to be a good light for tank illumination. It would be nice if you had a two-bulb... or even better... a four-bulb fixture so...

7 plates... 8 plates... who's counting?

Nems is short for anemones. It might be possible to keep a few softies and some low-light LPS with a single T5 (High Output I presume) with only 8"-12" of depth. If I had to chose a single bulb, I would choose the ATI Coral Plus. You should get the greatest mix of color spectrum from this bulb...

I consider them the pillbugs of the ocean... lol!

I prefer to buy my clams, and put them in established tanks. It takes a long time for an aquarium to develop the proper environment to sustain clams. Clams are filter feeders, so they require nutrient-rich water, which is normally in direct conflict with what most saltwater hobbyists strive for...

I wasn't aware of the rv deal. No wonder there was so much friction! You were always under her feet, so she put you to work building stuff outside. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, so a house with several rooms will make a lot of difference. Even happily married couples need their space...

He may not be getting the nutrition he needs in his diet. Though nothing is going to be more nutritious than live pods, soaking his food in Selcon can help "put some meat on his bones".

Don't feel bad. If I'm right... it'll be the first time... lol!!! Kids these days... they think they know everything. Well, sometimes they're right! LOL!!!

Looks like a single leg of an asterina starfish to me. It even appears that it may have separated from the one directly above it...

I know advertising other sites isn't exactly permissible, but I'm only promoting a product that SWF doesn't sell. This is a great opportunity for people who are interested in starting into the saltwater hobby, as well as those that could use an extra tank. Naturally, I encourage you to purchase...

Other than tearing down the tank and starting over, I don't think anything but time, patience, and water changes are going to solve your problem. However... carbon dosing (vodka, vinegar, NO3 - PO4: X, etc.) can help speed up the process by causing a bacterial bloom, but you have to use extreme...

Things have changed a lot since then. Dobermans are now bred for temperament more than aggression. They were originally bred to be attack dogs, with a high aggression level. Now days, it's more about intelligence and loyalty. I got my first one in the 70's, and have had at least one most of the...

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Let's hope she keeps it up...

Always nice to have a "backup plan"... lol!!!

It all boils down to efficiency. An efficient pump will use less energy and run cooler, while an in-efficient pump creates wasted energy. Wasted energy is thermal energy. Computer power supplies are an excellent example. A PS that operates at 75% efficiency creates far more heat than one that...

the two most deadly dog breeds in America: pit bull terriers and rottweilers. Research from DogsBite.org shows that during the 10-year period from 2005 to 2014, these two dog breeds accounted for 74% of the total recorded fatal human attacks.1 By compiling U.S. and Canadian press accounts...
