I thought I got everything. :D Salinity is 1.024. Temp is 80. I also have a bunch of snails. I only temp acclimated the bubbles but dripped the zoos for about an hour.

I have a 125g, 100lbs LR, 3 inch LS bed, protein skimmer, 3 1200 Maxijet PH's started in Oct. All fish have been QT'd before adding to the tank and no medication has ever been added. I never see any pods so I'm not sure if its actually live sand or not. Lights are 3 250W hqi de MH 13K and 2...

3 250W hqi de 13000K MH and 2 140W actinic VHOs.

Sorry, lighting is 3 250W hqi de MH's 13K and 2 140W actinic VHOs. Any chance it will recover?

I'm not sure what is going on with my green bubble coral. I got it from my son's science teacher. Its about 5 inches long. It was beautiful when I got it. Floated the bag for a few hours and then added to tank. He had it in water and a cooler at school for a few hours before I picked it up. No...

Then don't put your face real close to the rug! Get as much of the water out as you can with towels and in a few days it should be okay. Put a fan on it to help it dry faster.

:yes: Start with 2 hours actinics 2 hours pc 2 hours actinics. Gradually increase the pc's until you have a 12 hour cycle. Get timers to run them to keep it consistent. Good luck.

:yes: I agree :yes: You probably should work up to those hours though so your water gets used to it so you don't have an algae bloom. Start with six hours total and then add an hour every couple of days until you get to the full two hours. Also I found I was ok using tap water until I got...

I would test every day for a week to make sure the LR doesn't create an ammonia spike before adding any fish.

No Lisa, you can't use your QT tank to cure LR if you've ever used copper in it to treat ich. Copper will soak into the LR and will then be transferred to your main tank. Cooper is deadly for inverts. You can set up a rubbermaid container with a ph and a heater to cure your LR.

If you use LR and LS in your QT when you have to do hypo or cooper treatment, your LR and LS will become dead rock and dead sand. Use water from your main tank and a couple of pieces of pvc pipe for hiding spaces. You can add a piece of LR if you want but that makes of an expensive hiding...

don't you mean ex-wife now :D Sorry about your luck. Is that the one you use to post pictures? I hope you replace it soon. I love to see your pictures.

There are NO stupid questions :D Sorry I can't help you more.

Its on the LR, center of tank, moderate water flow. Hasn't opened up completely yet as I just put it in last night with the mh's off but the vho's still on for a couple of hours. Was still sleeping this morning. Can't wait to see what it looks like when I get home. I'll see how it is tonight...

I just received a green bubble coral. Its about 5 inches across and 2 inches wide. I got if free from my son's science teacher. I have it in my tank (after drip acclimating for an hour). I put it sideways on my rocks so that it is facing the front of the tank. Is this okay or should I face it...

Yep, damn powerheads! Can't live with them and can't live without them. Fixed that problem, no more suction cups, I have mine attached with brass rods now.

Who out there has read the Stephanie Plum series but Janet Evanovich? Book 11 is out this week. :cheer: I'll get nothing done this weekend since once you pick up the book you can't put it down.

No Wax, I placed them where I thought I wanted them to be. That must be it. I just got a green bubble today that's in the middle of the tank. I dripped it for over an hour. I got it FREE from my son's science teacher. It was too big for his tank. Its about 5 inches long. Really nice...
