not sure that I saw that one. Just start a new thread and name it maxalmon here is on here often enough.

He could be having server problems... I doubt he took the site down, and I doubt it is an issue with updating, but I have been wrong before. I guess time will tell, or someone could e-mail him, steveweast at aol.com to see what is going on. Kelly

Post the photo, does not sound like flatworms to me. Kelly

Try the same technique as for killing apstasia, Joe's juice, kalk paste, boiling water, etc. Kelly

Some urchins are know to devastate/eat coralline algae, is the white path through coralline? Kelly

Just did a little more research... It appears that feeding each polyp is highly recommended. Polyps that are not regularly fed will whither and die. The reason that they are usually found in entrances to caves has nothing to do with liking or not liking light, but has to do with the amount of...

From what I have read, you do not need to feed each polyp. They are colonial, therefore the whole colony receives nourishment from whichever polyps are fed. I have no proof either way, just what I have read. Kelly

I have a gang valve coming out of the air valve on the pump, and I adjust it that way... just open one of the un-used valves to adjust the air flow. Kelly

Thanks, I will start to work on getting the kh up tomorrow. Kelly

I will bring the dkh up, at least 2 of the frags are completely white right now. One of them is an orange montipora capricornus and the other is a Acropora noblis. Some of the others are bleaching from the top down. I did not see any red bugs on them. They looked healthy when I put them in...

Anywhere from 4" from the top to 3 inches from the bottom, the only two the does not seem affected too badly are a green hydnophora and a brown montipora digitata with purple tips which are about about 1/3 up from the bottom, there are others at the same level which bleached completely. I did...
