I've had the reef tank up for going on two years and (knocking on wood), have never had an ICH problem. I had it in my smaller tank I had, but was able to use copper in that tank since it was FO. I have two cleaner shrimps in my tank that are very active with their jobs. I actually saw my tang...

I had a similar problem with mushrooms not to long ago and discovered that a high salinity content was the problem. Dropped my salinity and ever since everything has been open beautifully.

$75.00 on my tassled filefish "Dennis" who is a hoot :)

here's one, but it looks more brown than green

Thomas, I've tried coming out waaaay after dark, when the lights have been out for some time, and I come out with flashlight and try to blind him and catch him, but he holes up in the rock and I can't get to him. I think tonight I'm going to try with my bare hands to catch him after dark. Do...

Wish there had been a picture. Although, maybe not, sounds like a giant booger.

My yellow damsel, who has helped cycle 3 tanks, and is an expert at it, has to find a new home. But, as usual, he likes his present home and doesn't want to leave. Unfortunately, he is almost as large as my sailfin tang and flame angel and is trying to push he weight around. HOW THE HECK DO I...

Wow, and you popped 11 damsels into the tank? Even at 300 gallons, I think 3 maybe 4 would do the trick. You might have even waited another week or more before introducing fish. But, since you did, you should stay away from the inverts like dusters for a while longer. Maybe a few scavengers...

A picture of "Dennis the Menace", only named that because of the "cowlick" on top of his head:

I have a Tassled or Leatherjacket Filefish and i love him. He very shy with people he doesn't recognize, which is one reason why I find him so interesting. He really does know his "mom" :) otherwise, he's right out in front part of tank watching me constantly. He even lets me pet his tassles...

I think depending on the dimensions of your tank is how you should look at if that is enough wattage. I had JBJ's on my 125 gallon, it is, I believe, 22" deep.. I had two 36" fixtures, each had a 96w blue actinic and a 96 w 50/50. My softies did great, and i tried some SPS's and put them at...

Well, I think some of that is true. There's a post in the Newbie section regarding bio-balls/bio-material along this same line. If your reef tank has a DSB and lots of LR, according to the people who know (not me exactly), they say you should only need the protein skimmer, powerheads and leave...

I have bio balls in my wet/dry/skimmer set up. I've had them from the day I set this tank up (about 2 years now) and my water parameters have always been good. I also have a DSB of about 3 to 3.5 inches and alot of live rock, but "if it's not broken".........

first post for me :)

I was very pleased with my JBJ PC's.

Well, I'm assuming it's still alive. I haven't e-mailed the person in charge of it's exhibit lately. I think i'll do that tonight. It was in a 55 gallon tank in the reef section, it was in with a grouping of tanks that were in the center of the room. They were setting the tank up to be a...

BigRed, let's make a new club......."The Xenia Meltdown Club", I bet we'll get more members.

Ryebread, I do work at keeping the calcium/alk/iodine levels good. Maybe finding "aquacultured" ones is the route I should try. Thanks everyone for responses. Any other ideas are welcome.
