Are you sure they checked every level? Ammonia is the first suspect, what about nitrates? Most LFS only check Ph, alk. and salinity. I would do a big water change using RODI water salted and airated ASAP and then check all your levels to make sure you arent going through a cycle. Sorry about...

Cant see the picture, did you attach it? :notsure:

:cheer: That is awesome! If you get too many send them to me. haha Carrie

I havent been able to keep the red/orange ones either. After researching I found that the red ones are from deep water so cooler, less light tanks is preferred. Try the yellow ones or the purple ones they do great for me. Carrie

I am using it in my seahorse tank and I really like it. Carrie

I feed mine PE mysis and occasionally brine. good luck with the pipes I cant keep them alive even loaded with pods they just wont eat for me. They only last around a month then die. I also find myself looking at my seahorses(72 bowfront) more than my big tank (275). I have been told the dwarf...

I 2nd what Ophiura thinks.

My lawn mower blenny has gotten huge and can be a little aggressive, I dont know what else you have in your tank but they can take cheap shots at other fish especially at feeding time. They also are kinda ugly but do the job well so it 50/50 IMO. Carrie Off topic: Boston Pros rock, I have a...

How long is the tank been running? What lighting is it going to be under? Green ricordias dont like as much light as the red/pink orange ricordias in my experience anyways. You probably have enough elements/iodine in your salt mix already. Medium light, medium flow, no fish picking on them and...

Go with the T-5's you'll love them. I have an 8X54 watt on my 72 bowfront and I have SPS, clams, zoos etc. all doing great. I really think a 4X54 watt or a 6X 54 watt is plenty but I got a good deal on this light and I love it. I have halides and VHO's on my big tank and they are great too but I...

I always did what Rapid Frog said to get it started. In an outage everything just stops in place and when the power comes back on it just starts again because it wont break siphon. About every 6 months you have to clean that U-tube because of algea build up, so you will have to start the siphon...

Make sure your salinity is very stable. Leathers and xenia do not like changes. You may try a iodine additive like Kent Tech. I have so much xenia it is like weeds to me, I do know that they prefer to be in good light with med. flow not direct flow. Make sure nobody is picking on them also. Carrie

Wow I am interested in the removal of nitrates. Is it safe for all corals? Crox and others with diatoms are you using Oceanic salt? I switched to Tropic Marin and never had that problem again, Carrie

I have a seahorse tank and I am keeping all males cause they have tons and tons of babies every month if you pair them up with females. I am talking between 50-250 babies every month and you have to have a newborn tank set up just for them it is a real pain and even then only very few survive so...

yeah you can keep them with VHO's and/ or T5's. I wouldnt try it with PC's I dont think they would do too well. I am here in Jacksonville too! The next club meeting is at Rob's Reef in Orange Park. You could ask about what SPS would do ok under whatever lighting you have, I am sure several...

My clown hosts both the huge frogspawn and the huge hammer I have also. He goes back and forth from one to the other but he usually sleeps in the frogspawn at night.

Kenya trees grow like weeds also. Carrie

I keep my favia med high. I dont think they require super lighting. They seem to feed off the water column, I do not feed mine directly. Carrie

Probably, it sounds like they RTN'd/bleached what was the temperature? It wont hurt anything if you leave them in there a few days to see if they will come back, most of the time once they are gone they are gone. Carrie
