    Sizes of Frags

    My tank is finally at a place where I can start fragging some of the things I have and I was wondering what is a decent frag size to trade? I have Zoo's that have gone wild and wanted to frag to trade but I'm unsure of what would be a decent polyp count for a normal frag? 4-5 polyps? what? I...

    Fish fatality....

    He looks pretty dead to me. I hate losing a perfectly good fish. Actually it's not the losing of it it's trying to figure out why a perfectly healthy (appearance and behavior) fish one day goes belly up the next. Usually i just never see them again as my cleaner crew makes fast work of them...

    Those are some really nice pics as always from you! I wish I could get some close ups that turn out even half as well!

    My First 6 Pack

    I got the bubble from SWF.com over a year ago. It's doubled in size since I first got it. It was my first softie. I'm moving towards SPS more and more but I won't give up on the softs. Thanks!

    My First 6 Pack

    I'm just begining to learn how to use my digital camera (I've had it on point and shoot for the last 2 years) I still can't get some of those really close in pictures out of the macro mode yet but I'm trying. Hope you like, the tanks been up for 19 months and it has 2 x 250 DE MH w/ T5 actinics...

    Opinions on Seio's and Timers

    Wow, Thanks for the info. It is for my 90. I also have a little giant that pushes my sump and a small powerhead to stir up behind the rocks. Do you think it's ok to put Seio's on the wave maker timer? It would be ideal. Thanks again!

    Water change ???'s

    Just to be safe I would. I've got a thing with sticking my arms in my tank with a buch of electrical equipment running in it.

    1 week of cycle done,

    Sounds like you're doing fine. The hardest part about this hobby (IMO) is the patience in the cycle stage. Don't rush it, let it go its course.

    Water change ???'s

    I shut down my whole system when I do the changes. I do them as quick as I can. Usually takes me less than 1/2 hour to do a 20% change.

    paver patio

    Laying the pavers is the easy part. It's the prep work that'll drive you nuts. The better the prep, the better the end result. Make sure you compact the crap out of your substrate (learned the hardway on that one). If I had to do it over I'd rent a compactor or at the very least one of those...

    Another lighting question

    I put 2 x 250 HQI's on my 90 which would probably be the same length as your tank. I felt after much research and good advise from people here the 250's were the way to go. Little bit more $ but not that much when your making the switch to MH.

    ?

    I'm sure you could put just about any fish in there that wouldn't eat you macro's, I guess for me the question is why would you want to? To me, it would be one less fish you could have in your display. Even adding in the extra water that the refugium would give you it just wouldn't make sense to...

    Opinions on Seio's and Timers

    I just picked up 2 seio 820's (powerheads) and I keep reading varying opinions on putting them on timers. Can you put them on timers? They seem to throw a lot of water movement and I thought it would be nice to stick them on some alternating timers. Anyone have any insight on them and thier...

    SPS First photo attempts

    I've never been able to upload pics so here goes again, These are some of my first attempts to photograph in Macro mode on my camera, Not nearly as good as a lot of pics I see here but cut me some slack it's my first time. The frags have been in the tank for a few months now and it's nice to...
