pretty funny, I actually take a (Kyolic)garlic supplement, I also have some chopped up garlic in a jar in the fridge, could I add just a little of this to the bowl I soak the frozen food in? Won't do it until i get some responses on this. Also, woke up this morning to some rust colored stuff in...

I didn't mean to say I was only feeding the flame nori...Actually, I'm trying to get him to eat. Left for dinner tonight, only to come back to have the seaweed flying all throughout the tank, he attacked the stuff, and it's too much to try to get out. the fish went crazy on the stuff...even my...

Nudi, Appreciate the reply, I'm quite pleased with my 6500, but the friend that got me interested in this hobby has a 10k over his 75, that looks very white and nice. I'm pretty handy with wood, metal and electronics. After taking a good look at the canopy I built, I think I could put a two...

Can't add anymore lighting in my canopy for several reasons. The reflector for the halide is a spider type and goes all the way from front to back in the canopy. Not too mention, the lighting is as intense as I'm willing to stand, it's in my office. I can turn off all of the lights, and it's...

...for ID purposes. Thanks, Neil

Think I'll add one of the Ric's on my next order, and read up on all of this stuff in the mean time. Been sitting here staring at my tank for the last hour. The coralline algae is really starting to explode throughout the tank. Everything looks so good, I'm hoping it stays this way. The only...

As far as live rock goes, it's all Live Rock. Mainly Tonga Branch, Kaelini, and Fiji. My substrate is live sand, CaribSea Aragonite, and Carib Sea Florida CC. I'd say all in all about 2" worth. My lighting is a 400w Metal Halide. The only filtration I'm using is the LR and a Euro Reef...

Hello Folks, I originally setup my tank as a FOWLR because I don't have very much knowledge about the different corals. Is there a good book I could read on the subject? At this point, I'm a little intimidated to add any. I like the ricordias, polyps, anemones, and zoos, but I don't know how...

Sounds good. I'll do a water change this weekend, will also watch the other fish. He did seem stressed out, I can't figure out why. He sat on the top of the water since I got him, he never seemed to strong. He would go through bursts where he seemed to have strength, then none, and would...

Razor, no cats, actually have been thinking about getting one though. I looked real good around the tank, can't find anything, but the clowns body was not much bigger than a quarter, excluding fins. My main concern are the inhabitants left. I don't want to stress them out, they're new fish I...

Overnight my clown is gone. He looked pretty bad last night, but wasn't sure if he was sleeping in his corner, or looking weak. The problem is, this morning I can't find him or his carcass. I have a cleaner shrimp, and three peppermints. Is it possible these shrimp ate him? At any rate...

I'll tell you what has worked good for me. I cut a litle square about 3" x 4" out of an old mouse pad and set it under my mag 12. Killed the noise completely. Neil

Hello, I'm sure not a seasoned expert, but I have quite a few copepods that buzz through the water real fast, sometimes it looks like it's snowing on my glass. If one of your guys takes a rest on the glass, grab a good magnifying glass, and see what he is. Might be easier to ID them. I...

I went ahead and read my post, errors and all. I walked away thinking someone might want to know why my salinity has dropped. The answer is this, I started with this plastic little box for a gauge, and one day it seemed to stick to the top, and it was hard to get an exact reading, I'm kind of...

Hello Folks, I'm a little new to the saltwater hobby, have been a customer of swf for the last few months, and just realized today they've had a message board I could ask questions on all along. I think my local fish store will be happy about this. My first question, is that I had a hard...
