    Thanks Beth, I tried to find the address for American Marine doing a search but didn't find it. I guess I didn't try hard enough. Thanks again John:)

    What reading for Pinpoint for hypo ??

    Have QT'd a yellow tang yesterday and am using a Pinpoint salinity monitor to adjust the water, but the chart doesn't have the setting for 1.009. Can any one give me the setting or the % of salt (ppt) so I can get the right amount of salinity for the hypo treatment. Thanks

    Help!! Feather Duster Mystery

    I think that is normal or at least not uncommon. I had one do that and in a couple of weeks it grew back out.:)

    rare red anemone

    Hi Paul, Yes, I use to teach classes at France Park, but haven't dove there for a while as I use a different quarry. I'm originally from Florida, but live in central Indiana now.

    Coral beauty or Flame angel?

    I've had a flame angel for two weeks now and just put it in my main tank two days ago. Its been a great addition to the tank. I was real skeptical about getting one because of everything I read about them nipping at feather dusters and anemones and taking over the tank, but much to my pleasure...

    rare red anemone

    I don't know about lfs and anemones, but in the wild, I've only seen two red anemones and I've made over 1500 dives. One was in warm water on a wreck in Truk Lagoon and the other was in cooler water in the Red Sea, so in my opinion,if it was a true red anemone it would probably be a rare find...

    High Phosphates, best way to lower ??

    I use RO/DI water and only feed twice a day, using frozen food, brine shrimp plus and marine cuisine. I usually use about a half a cube per feeding.

    High Phosphates, best way to lower ??

    All my parameters are perfect, except the phosphates are very high. Is the best way to get it lowered to do a large water change ?? Am using a prizm skimmer, but don't think its been doing too good of a job as I only have to empty the cup every couple of weeks. Have had a lot of trouble keeping...

    Lawnmower blenny

    Mine will eat just about anything I put in the tank for the other fish, even frozen brine shrimp. Maybe yours is getting enough to eat in the tank, its not interested in anything else. You might try some formula two flakes.? :p

    Pink tip (condi) anemone hiding under rock?

    I bought one about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and it did the same thing. I have about 6 watts per gallon and I put it in the sand near the live rock, and it settled under the rock in a cave and only extends its tentacles out into the light occasionally. Mine seems to be doing fine though, so I think once...

    Saltwater newbie contemplating a 55-gallon setup

    I'm not expert on this hobby (yet) but would think you could put a yellow tang and one or two small fish in a 55. <img src="graemlins//yeahright.gif" border="0" alt="[yeahright]" />

    Off Topic: Any Scuba Divers out there?

    I'm a PADI master instructor and have been diving quite a while also, I'm originally from Southeast Fla, and still do a lot of diving down there as my family is still there. I didn't realize how ignorant I was of the ecosystem until I started in this hobby and watched the ecosystem grow before...

    I thought amemones liked the light.?

    Thanks for the replies. It came from a lfs that was just using no fl. as far as I could tell. I don't think they had them for very long. :D

    skilter filter

    I would use the money on something else. I bought a Skilter 400 when starting and replaced it within a month, due to the noise and didn't seem to skim either. :D

    I thought amemones liked the light.?

    I just bought a long tipped anemone and put it in the sand bed, in a nicely lit space. I have about 5 watts a gallon of MH and actinic. In about a half an hour the anemone moved over in a shady spot under some live rock, where just the tips of its tentacles will reach out into the light. Is this...
