    Can you frag a green elephant ear mushroom?

    I sure hope the answer is yes, because I did frag mine. It had fused together as one HUGE shroom (five heads) and came off it's rock. So rather than it float around and find a bad home, I took it and cut it into 5 frags. Well, one has since died and I've been nurturing the other four...

    Shipping?

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it seems more classified related but I'm not selling anything. I recently sold some caulurpa on the big auction site and I want to make sure I ship it appropiately for them. For caulurpa, do I ship it the same way I would ship corals? In a thermos? Is there...

    the suction cups are on strike

    Does anyone know where you can find/order larger suction cups? I have a small sized in tank refugium and it keeps sliding down because the suction cups aren't holding the weight of it (I'm guessing). I don't want it to slide down and accidently crush someone, and if it keeps sliding down then...

    How often do you feed your fish?

    don't use the damsels to cycle your new 210g... there are posts you can find on these boards that discuss better methods of cycling a tank (https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=80022). some damsels can be meanies, but still they deserve fresh air too! :happyfish

    Protein skimmer or refugium?

    Yeah.... it's aethestically unpleasing lol. Just wanted to get rid of it for now if I could. Didn't seem like it was really doing anything lately??

    Protein skimmer or refugium?

    Can I take off my protein skimmer if I added an intank refugium? It's nothing major, but my nitrates are always at zero anyway - and that's with the skimmer getting no activity (collection) what so ever lately. If I remove the protein skimmer do you think it will have a major effect on the tank?

    Instant Ocean and cloudy water change

    Well, first of all... I promise I did test the water lol. I'm not so bad that I just threw it in, but after my first mix and 24 hours it was only testing at 1.010 so I added more salt then tested again later. I also tested the water before adding it (the basics, ph.. nitrites, ammonica...

    Instant Ocean and cloudy water change

    I added the salt to the water. Set up the bucket... added the heater and powerhead then added the salt. Unleashed - I don't think it's a matter of the salt not being dissolved completey. I added salt originally the night before last then let it sit 24 hours and it was just as a cloudy as it...

    Instant Ocean and cloudy water change

    Ok, I'm a little scared atm. I did a water change and it is very cloudy... and I added it to my tank already so it's a done deal. I let it sit for over 24 hours originally then added some more salt today to get the level to 1.025 because it was only reading 1.010 at first (cloudy then as well)...

    Crabs & Shrooms

    would it be a scarlet hermit? The scarlets I have are small-medium size though, definitely not large. I have some pics of mine at home, I can upload one later for you to compare if you'd like.

    Sump/Refugium?

    Rhomer is that design for a sump and refugium? I'm going to go ahead and taken Squidd's advice and do a sump and refuge, but if he's right about the 10g only being enough for a sump (which i'm sure he is) then the refugium will have to be a HOB kind. Also, with your design you have a skimmer in...

    QT Time?

    Well I put a decent size piece of live rock (with some hair algae on it) in the tank with him, and I bought a bottle of pods to help out. I figured I could put the some of the bottle in close to the hair algae so they have somewhere to "hide" so to speak. I am also feeding mysis shrimp. Beth -...
