    ID on something to small to get a pic of?

    there is just one? is it definitely a type of star? it could have just been a hitchhiker. i would say it can likely be an asterina star , but they usually appear by the tens / hundreds and are not fuzzy. maybe a different variation?

    What to look for in the QT tank

    i would keep him in QT for 6 weeks without hypo, just keeping an eye on him. feed quality enriched foods, soaked with the goodies etc. if the status changes, then act accordingly. the QT you have him in, does it have any calcerous materials? LS, LR?

    Need input on my sump design

    why are you using the LR rubble area? if you have a good amount of LR in your DT, its not needed at all. you can also put some more in your sump if you really wanted to.

    What to look for in the QT tank

    basically if after 1-4 days you are seing the whole body covered in small salt-sized spots, its ick, if you are seeing big offshaped spots on the fins or mouth its lympho. lympho doesnt cause a problem unless its in the mouth and gets massive and bulbous and the fish can no longer eat. hypo...

    Need input on my sump design

    welcome to the boards! so you have two small areas for the water to drain into the fuge on either side? whats going on on the left side? i dont see the need for the 4 baffles on the right. 3 per fuge are is a good standard that greatly reduces microbubbles.

    purple up

    there is nothing organic in purple up. meaning there is no living algae in it. all it is a calcium and some other elements that will raise your tank calcium level. its called purple up because when the tank has a higher level of calcium, the purple coralline algae will flourish, along with...

    My (un-original) 55 Reef Diary!

    three baffles will be much better in stopping baffles from the source behind the baffles (ie the skimmer), but remember that when the water level gets to be about 2" under the last baffle in the last chamber, you will start getting bubbles from the waterfall effect. also take into account the...
