My params are: Sal 1.024 Temp 78 pH 8.1 (lights have been on for hours, has been tested recently as low as 7.8) cal 500+++ alk 1.5 Nitrates 0 so, everyhting looks just fine, healthy all good except for a recent cyano bloom that seems to be dying off. I have not done a water chance in a couple...

nope, much bigger, single specimin - much longer, slightly more arrow shaped. its defineatley a flatworm, but I'm still not sure if its harmful. It seems the snail I thought it was eating is ok today (well, on its back, but alive) I have a picture, but Im having trouble attaching ithe image...

EDITED I REALLY need to get that digicam fixed:mad: ok - it looks like a flatworm - White base with brown mottled patchwork coloration. I'll do a search now underflatworms, and maybe I'll try to get a pick with my webcam... I caught it - thinking about dropping it into the sump... is...

lfs=local fish store. you can do a search on this board, but I believe the prefered method of distributing new live sand is sprinkeled on top. I have also heard it reccomended that you feed your sand some flake food. Your thank looks rather "new" - or sterile. The isda now would be to build...

What would I do? Hard cycle them both together not use the skimmer at all for a couple of months (or only when needed) Also, if possible get the fuge above the display so it can gravity feed live pods into the tank (not motor whipped). Good luck!

I'm at the tail end (I hope!) of a battle. check out the Cyanobacteria red to yellow link. How old are your lamps...

Great links... The ideal combination for blue-greens to grow is: high DOC (dissolved organic carbon = dissolved organic protein = dissolved organic matter and the decay of that organic matter), high dKH levels and over saturation of CO2. The latter can occur if and when the carbon dioxide is not...

Thanks Ophiura - I did send you a mail, and I looked up l. multiflora on this site - most of the pictures were of very small specimens (awesome ryepics though ;) - how big do they get?

it that 2 yellow tangs, or one is one the background? What kind of anenomes? How are your nitrates? Y said that youve had this for about a year? How long with no additional filtration? I recall seeing a "filterless" tank in a marine bio lab -- but they required a wavemaker --- a real one, not...

sounds like they were hungry :D

darn - just missed the "experience" --- learning something every day on this board --- didnt know Raitt was Holly spawn ;)

Hi there - I wanted to but a blue linkia in my 45, but based on some of your comments, I think im going to pass... What are your reccomended "reef safe" stars?

I wasn't planning on putting anything in my refugium and want to follow this string for real answers ;)

water changes...but I'd worry about the disruption to your bio base. You just changed the substrate, now the water? I'd reduce light, increase circulation, decrease (stop) all feeding and add some VERY WELL CURED live rock. Try calling your LFS first. ...this is just a comment, please don't...

and/or support the front of the shelf with STRONG BRAIDED WIRE bolted through beams in the ceiling. How are you going to lift the hood? Isnt it "in" the wall?

more info on the "and such" please. none of my cleaning crew seems really interested... Kickster - whats your best method of removal?

$18?!!? MY LFS wants THIRTY FIVE!!! ??? - if its a hermit, wont it just drop the cool "staghorn" for a bigger shell???

LOL (laughing out loud) - I meant the fish - but good to hear that the English are well ;) How are your critters?

Jeff - Pictures would be cool! What do you have in it? What's the lighitng? I;ve been thinking about trying this as well...

I recently finished reading Fenners book cover to cover. A bit outdated (airstones?!?) but generally the principals were very good (IMO) - good read!
