Very sorry to hear of your losses, I can identify with that maybe you seen my post(storm). Didnt realize the cucumbers were so poisenous. I had one get sucked into a power head one time and tore it in half getting it out and then tossed it in the tank and its still alive today with no prob...

Thats where mine are. Cut a peice of plastic or something so the water rains over the top and trickles through them

I have a dual sump system. So its easy to drain one side(55g) then mix new water and turn a valve and have the new water re-enter the system. But, even with that its really taken longer than I would think to get things back to normal parameters. Some carals actually looked like death was being...

oh we have a roof its in the neighbors yard..............

Ever wonder why the tide goes in and out twice a day?

I guess the stuff they seel in Hawwaii for for profit at even the ABC stores that come from the beach must be "bad Carma " exempt. lol

Not denying what you said is true, but they were more concerned with the removal of the lava rock. The hawaiins claim its bad carma and are pretty serious about that.

I appreciate the imput, I'll try and post a pic of the rock, its better than anything I've ever seen as far as growth from an infinate number of just about anything you could think of. Makes me wonder after seeing this stuff just how long some of the other stuff I bought over the years was out...

Was on a once and a lifetime trip to Maui to do some snorkling when a dual disaster hit. Maui was a total loss a storm kicked up the first day we were there and browned all the water around the island so diving was out the second day I started getting calls from back home(washington State) that...

I have a ton of that stuff in my reef it grows fast and is brilliant green. I've actually used it for glueing rock together. One peice I have shot a spidder like web of string like stuff attacking a nearby star polyp coral didnt kill it though and its done it several times since I'll try and...

I think Mr. Green has the right idea! A product review section would be the answere! If saltwaterfish.com is really commited to keeping are creatures alive I would think they would consider it. I've learned a lot from this forum and had a lot of fun I think this would be a thing we would all...

I like what I'm hearing on this thread, Murph is on to something. In the mean time its imparative we all stay in comunication to avoid all the junk

I also would like to learn a little more about the reefkeeper 2. If it works as good as I'm reading above it would be worth it. Since were all talkin about the junk failures we've had I'll add one more joke to the thread. Bought a float valve for my RODI so I could have a more consistant level...

I think the one thing we can all agree on is the goal of a reef keeper is to keep things alive, watch them grow, and a lot of times propagate. No doubt about it, this hobby is expensive. Its important that we all comunicate about the products we use for the well being of the forms of life we...

Viper and Reeforbrains, I really appreciateyour imput. I didnt know that these heaters were known for being junk! Ive never had a problem with the good old stand and by stuff and have had reefs for 12yrs I thought I was upgrading. The company that makes these heaters need to have a few inserted...

I posted awhile back about product disapointment and failure and how back-up is critical for the unexpected crash. Tonight I get home walk into the room and couldnt help but notice that everthing in my 252gal DT was dying and the fish would hardly move. Only a couple things came to mind that...

I like what reefstar wrote, I'll add what I do for an extra idea that works for me. I run a dual sump system that is plumbed such that one sump can be separated with a turn of a vavle or two for an independent QT tank or a quick water change. It also adds another 55gal to the system

Skimming might get some of it? UV steralization would definatly get the stuff in the water

I definatly agree with the quarenteen Idea if not just for ich for God only knows what else. I appreciate the imput and the clarafication

1journeyman, thats the way I understood it as well. But then this weekend I ended up in a discussion over blue tangs and how easily they get ich and was told that it lives on them and manafests itself because they stress easy. So the bottom line is if they dont have it they cant get it unless...
