    Frogspawn

    Hiya I haven't directly fed my frog spawn and it looks great. I feed mysian, cyclopleeze and a flake food. Also in a moderate current. Brine would probably been okay, but mysian is much better for your corals and fish. Meadbhb

    Coral growth---what am I doing wrong?

    Hiya, I wonder if bring the temp up to about 80 all day would help. These are tropical creatures and temps between 80-82 would be more ideal. I've got my tank at these temps and have had my hammer go from 3 to 5 heads as has my candy cane. I've also got brains, mushrooms, a bubble coral, a yo...

    Stocking my 44 hex

    Hiya, I've got a 37 gallon with a coral beauty, royal gramma (tank raised), six line, rainford goby and sailfin blenny. Yes, it's a little over stocked, but I've got over 70lbs of LR in it and levels have are perfect. I'd look at some of the wrasses. The clown wrasse is really pretty, but not...

    should I kick the bucket?

    Hiya, Need some opinions. I brought a plastic bag full of rolled coin, all denominations home the other night and put them on top of the lid that covered my bucket of RO water. This is the water I use for evaporation. Well, sometime during the night, the lid broke and the bag fell into the...

    Sailfin Blenny

    Hiya, I have had one for about 2 weeks now. He's set up house in several large shells I put in the tank for my hermits. He hasn't disturbed any of my corals that I can tell. I don't have any claims so I can't help you there. Pretty cool fish when he desides to come out. Meadbhb

    38 gallon makeover

    Hiya, You might want to talk to your LFS about buying RO/DI water. Mine sells it for 50 cents a gallon. Not sure how much it would cost out of one of those machines, but I think I red somewhere that someone uses the water out of that machine for his tank. You may just want to get a small...

    iodine dip question

    Hiya, I did this last night to a few corals that looked puny. I think I did more damage then good. Did a stupid thing....didn't make sure the water temp in the dip bowl was the same as the tank. I shocked the crap out of my zoo's and scolio. As for the time...10-15 minutes at that ratio...
