I just got results back from a professional water testing company... I have stunted Xenia growth and dying Zoos. Some of the results are confusing and I'd like some opinions. Tank : 55 Gallon 20 Gallon Sump/Fuge Set up : 4/26/07 3-4" LS Bed 60lbs LR Reef Crystals with 20% water change every 2...

#1... EEEEW! Just got a protein skimmer, hooked it up... figured it would NEVER work, no moving parts.. just bubbles. This morning the collection cup is full of some brown sludge! What exactly is it? #2... We're leaving on Christmas Vacation and will be gone 4 days... any suggestions on...

Dang, my family is in Meeker... 2 hours NW of Glenwood Springs. If I head that way I'll pm you though.

" Both male and female blennies have two spines in the anal fin. In the female one or both may be smaller or even embedded while on the male they may be capped with a fleshy tissue." Read that on the net so not sure if it's true but it's all I could find.

I have a TON of isopods (found a nice picture of my exact critter) but I haven't seen a copepod since I electrocuted my tank. Is it possible to get isopods and not copepods? I thought cope's were more prevalent than iso's.

Ok, guess it's working correctly thank you so much! I wish I had my TDS but it's still in shipping.

I can't name the brand because it's a fish equipment competitor. Does your R/O unit put out about twice as much waste water as pure water? My black line is coming out fast and the blue is trickling.

I got my R/O unit today and the instructions are about 3 sentences long and I have a few questions. #1, how fast do I turn on the cold water? #2, Is the dirty water supposed to look dirty (ie, discolored, thick, etc). The pure water line (blue) is draining at a drip and has a yellow hue. The...

What a gorgeous color!

Wow I'd forgotten about that poor little guy!

Thanks for the ideas! I'll go looking through the dwarf angels.... I lost my coral beauty, she did a carpet dive and I feel awful but I'll check out the others.
