your tank is frikken gorgeous by the way

I tend to go after the DOD (dead or dying) corals too usually can snag them for a buck or two and sometimes wind up with really nice stuff. i'm not afraid to take that risk. honestly if your good with your filtration and water changes, (something I have proven more than once) you can overfeed...

Got my new bulb in the mail yesterday... good color to it. too wiped for pictures. i'll try to take some this weekend. but hey the bulb stays running for more than an hour this time that's a bonus.

I love drs offices they are definitely aware of whats going on and doing there best to come up with a treatment plan as well as efficient about their records....... (cover that in about 50 layers of sarcasm please) I called the cardiology people the other morning at about 9am to see where the...

Yeah I switched to excedrine migraine formula days ago, it helps a bit but they come back before I can take more and i'm not sucking down excedrin for the rest of my life just to be able to function, I like having a functioning liver .

The results from the heart monitor should be back today or tomorrow, once they are in we will figure the next step.

at least one of the nurses at the cardiologist got my humor style and told me if they could find my heart, they would test it.

hahahaha levity is a good thing man. You're not going to offend me by cracking jokes. You should have seen the look on the doctors face when he asked if I had been taking anything for the headaches and I told him whiskey.... apparantly he's not familiar with my deadpan joke style.

Don't over stress about it. Moving alone is enough of a challenge, the aip will still be there once your settled. one thing about aiptasia, people tend to see them as bad. can they be? yes they tend to take over and sting sensitive corals etc, but they are AWESOME particulate filters, think of...

not in and of itself, but if you kill a bunch of aip without doing water changes to clean the pollution of dying anemone bad things will happen.

you have 2 months roughly... hm myself, I would get some aptasia x or some joes juice and hit the biggest ones right away in the next couple weeks then let the tank recover before the move, doing regular water changes over the next month or so, do the move, wait a couple weeks/months for the...

Duly noted. LOL as for the aiptasia, thats a hard call as to how to go about it, adding shrimp will probably mean dead shrimp and shrimp can take a long time to eradicate aiptasia, and they usually only go after the smallest. nuking the aiptasia with an aptasia treatment is going to be killing...

The post I see which I replied to says "when moving a tank don't clean it up" you didn't clarify any thing about not changing filters, which I made sure to point out in my reply not to do that, and you expressly said not to wash the sand. washing the sand is not going to remove biofilm, in fact...

yeah murphys law just when you get it the way you want it.....

When your doing a massive change to a system like you plan, it's going to have some serious fluctuations no matter how you do it. since you are upgrading (which is something I have done at least once) here is what I recomend. Wash everything you are putting in the new tank with salt water, most...

true That doesn't make any sense, you dont swap out all the filters etc, but cleaning a tank up a bit isn't going to hurt anything, in fact when moving is a great time to take your rock and swish it around in seawater, or blast it with powerheads to un impact the pores in the rock and remove...

clean water isn't going to shock fish. only if the SG or temp is way off will it shock fish. Think of it this way, if you're in a house fire and you move directly to clean air from a smoke filled room is it going to kill you? no it's probably going to increase your chances of survival. because...

Free scavengers and algae grazers.... harvesting them is nutrient export... that said If you have more competition for the scraps you may experience less of a rapid population burst. possibly.

I want #2,3 and 5... lol

why would you want carbon dioxide (Co2) back in the water? not that thats exactly how it works. the dwell time for bubbles is too short for them to actually transfer much gas to the water, oxygenation (O2) through bubbles is caused by the water being circulated to the surface for exposure to the...
