Originally posted by dbennett78 Is it possible to have too much calcium in your tank? or overdose it. I am currently using Kent's Tech A/B as a two part buffer and I was just wondering. Thanks. Yes, it's possible to have too much calcium. I would recommend a calcium level of around...

I have three "green spotted puffers" in a 29 gallon aquarium. They're often found in brakish areas, where salinity is around 1.006. Can they live in full strengh saltwater? Yes, althought their lifespan will decrease. Same goes with freshwater. Many of them are also found with a few species of...

Originally posted by Ty_05_f Is there a good coral out there that can take a hit and hold its own close to the anenome??? Nope. I doubt any coral would be able to live under such conditions. Is there any way you would be able to move the anemone? Graham

I agree with what was stated above. The corallife bulbs are T12 and not produce much intensity. hmmmmm ok i will get the 30" pc setup from hello lights What does that consist of? i plan on getting a metalic brain, green frogspawn, blue shrooms, zoos and a hammer. i will be fragging and...

Originally posted by ozadars This is a tube anemone (Cerianthus membranaceus) Tube anemone is only the common name. The "tube anemone" is not really an anemone, but actually a tube worm (as stated above). They are not "true" anemones. I also think that the cause of death for the ricordea was...

1. The "Red thing" is a tunicate, or in other words, a sea squirt. The anemone is, as stated above, an aiptasia. 3. Looks like an encrusting sponge to me. Graham

Originally posted by crispcritr please email me the info about the swap- where, what time. thanks tserna@yahoo.com You have mail :) Take Care, Graham

Originally posted by Old Yeller Tang Graham - I got your stuff ready to go as well! Thanks, Roland! I'll hold off on the Pocillopora. I have one similiar to yours. I'll also bring the camera :) Graham PS. Is anyone interested in a lovely brown stag frag? Or how about some brown M. digitata?

Originally posted by dburr Need an ID. Looks like a hydnophora but doesn't have the sting. It grows like a plate. That looks like a Hydnophora. Hydnophora can often grow in many different shapes, including plate (or encrusting). Very nice pictures! Graham

Jon, Very nice tank! The corals and fish all look very healthy! I also like the Pink Pocillopora you have! Graham

Hey Roland, Very nice A. formosa! (or is that a nobilis?) For $15.00, I'll take a frag if there's still one availible! But, as with any SPS, it will be a completely different color one month in my tank :) Graham

Very nice tank and frags! Just thought I would Identifye (or, try to identifye) some of the corals you listed. New stag. A. nobilis or A. formosa? Bluish, purplish tip SPS. A. loripes? Last but not least, green tip. A. loripes? A. aculeus? A. caroliana? Graham :)

Originally posted by Old Yeller Tang Green/Blue/Purple Staghorn(might have 2 frags) Green Pocillopora Roland, Any pictures of the Pocillopora or Purple/Blue/Green stag? Graham

Originally posted by bdhough Since you have corals you need to start the halides on a short on cycle and work your way up over a couple weeks till you want them on as long as possible. When adding corals to your tank you need to remember the light they are coming from. If they match TYPE wise...

cant 2 much light be bad for corals ? Yes, but it would take a lot of intensity to reach that point. As long as you provide the proper carbon dioxide, calcium, pH and alkalinity, there's really no such thing as "too much" lighting. Unless you're planning on purchasing multiple 1000wt, 3000wt...

The whole system would most likely melt due to the heat of the halides. As stated above, the reflector would be the only thing that you could keep. Even the reflector won't do a good job for the halides, as the reflector was disigned for the JBJ setup. A spiderlight reflector would be much...

Originally posted by bdhough They are more sensitive to salinity changes. They're also extremely sensitive to pH and temperature swings. I would highly recommend drip aclamating the starfish for around 5-8 hours. You could buy some small airline tubing, and tie a knot in one end. Tighten...

Nothing to be worried about. The anemone is simply regaining its zooxanthelllae, which is the color brown. The zooxanthellae most likely died in shipping (from the ocean to your LFS), but under the proper conditions, it will grow back. Yes, it will most likely completely turn brown, but at least...

2x 250wt 10,000k Uhio's on a dual PFO ballast along with 2-4 "03" Actinic VHO's on icecap 660 ballast would be great lighting for your 75 gallon tank. If you wanted, you could also go with 2x 400wt 10,000k Ushio's (or any other bulb type you wish) on a PFO (HQI) Ballast along with some...
