Nice!!!!!!!

I've promised myself not to ever buy any more corals, trade frags only!! (I can try anyways) I have some nice stuff but with the proper set up only going for a short while now I still have to wait a bit for my sps to get big enough to frag. I have a nice purple acro that is big enough, my yellow...

maroons are bullies- I would be worried about them being with the more peaceful gobies and what not- just my opinion. I wouldn't do the dragonet for a long time, at least a year, gotta give the pods time to populate. Damsels get mean also- I would try to go one way or the other, more aggressive...

100$ 1" frags? :scared: Okay, I don't blame you!

I'm not an expert but: here's a recipe RO water More water flow to affected areas add sand stirring creatures/snails

I don't know much about them.. I top off with kalkwasser frequently but I do it the old fashioned way and measure/mix by hand. I like to piddle around with all that stuff- it's fun to me. The hobby is getting to the point where if you have the money you can automate almost everything but I don't...

Well, I don't know what the experts will tell you but I will say this. I've read that some hard core sps junkies have 60+ times turnover in their tanks and I thought hmmm... that sounds cool. I've had sps for a while, and they have lived and even grown a little but now with this set up I have...

it sounds like a stoney type algae to me and if I'm right that's not a bad thing. Is it flat against the glass? If it's coraline algae or stony algae a razor blade can be used to scrape it off the glass. (don't know how you get if off acrylic.. the green and purple types are all over my tank- I...

bulky yeah... but man, those two 1500's really push the water around my sps 75!!!!!!! I love it!~ the tunze look nice too but...I'm on a budget.

looks like green ricordia to me

ditto that. I have a 75 that I'm turning into a mixed reef but stocked mostly with SPS. I looked at all the pumps and wavemakers out there and thought long and hard about it. I ended up getting two seio1500's along with the seio control that ramps the power heads up and down, the effect on my 75...

I just seen some of this copper absorbing stuff in a certain fish catalogue... I agree that it would take years to get all of it out, the rock in particular, but if you ran it all the time it may keep enough of it out of the water to keep the inverts alive, I would suppose it would also depend...

It often times takes things a little while to get used to their new home. If it lasts for several days I would start to worry. They are normally quite hardy but somewhat sensitive to Iodine I found out- Also, I don't think that 1.026 is really all that high, I would say 1.023 is a tad bit low...

There are some copper "sponges" or copper absorbing media but how effective it is I don't know. It's not all that expensive and it may be worth a try, it's something that you would have to run from now on I would imagine..

I said it before and I'll say it again It's great to live my daydreams through you vicariously.

This will be fun to watch - I'm in the tail end of doing the exact same thing with my 75 gal!

I was right, I was watching the tank last night and noticed that the dancing had stopped and the female was just hanging by the rock..chasing away anything that gets too clsoe and the male was out and about like nothing ever happened. I looked real close at the rock that the female is staying...

They are good as a miniture clean up crew and they are good food for many different fish and inverts...

Yeah, I've read a lot about the raising of clowns, takes some fairly decent dedication and time- I don't know if I want to do that for the dominos- not much of a market for them. That and I don't know if I want to be responsible for bringing any more of them into this world.. then again I have...

The bigger of the two is already aggressive as all heck! I put an acro frag in there last week and he hit my hand over and over and then when I took my hand out he went and grabbed the acro frag and shook it like a mad dog!!! Now these two have claimed a rock that they clean and "dance" on all...
