    911...SPS help

    Lord, you have a good point and have obviously done your research. With VHO over a 40gal I am sure they will do fine considering that you have the rest of your water parameters in check. I only have 1 175MH over my 55 with the rest 440 of VHO. I have at least 17 different SPS corals and they...

    naso vs. blonde naso tang

    I like the Blonde Naso better ;) In my opinion they are the skater bad boys of the reef tank. I like the yellow dorsal fin :)

    copper in B-Ionic?

    Yes, Cu is bad for reef systems and B-ionic does contain copper in it, but I am sure that they are in trace amounts. I think everyone takes Cu a little to seriously. Any one of those metals on the back on the B-ionic part 2 bottle could be toxic at high concentrations, especially at the...

    Temporary setup for corals

    I have a couple thoughts, 1) you could ask him to hold off on tearing down his tank for a couple weeks so that you have time to upgrade your lighting. I don't know if he will go for that of not. 2) Whats your relationship with your LFS? Explain the situation and ask them if they can hold onto...

    What's the BEST salt available?

    I think people put a little too much emphasis on the minute details of the salt, such as an elevated level of PO4. Do you really think it matters that much? Do you all use RO/DI water? If not they are probably loaded with lots of stuff that you don't even know. AND if you have a mature...

    Culturing Phytoplankton and Rotifers

    I saw in one of those DIY sites that a person bought some type of mesh strainer from florida-aqua-farms that they use to strain the phyto. I just started my first culture and I think it has crashed already. What I think went worng....1. I use about 5ml of DTs that I had left from a while...

    Arrow Crab??

    I have one. He had a nasty habit of stealing food from the goniapora, which I had to get rid of anywyas becuse the clown decided to call it its home. I have never seen the arrow pick on anything else. I can see him munching on some shrooms. He developed a taste for my hairy shrooms now that...

    Coral of the Week: Frogspawn

    Here is a pic of mine. I have found that the same is true with the pH. Mine is very highly illuminated and probably has a little more flow then it needs. It has split from one head to two since I bought it. StacyT, I believe yours is a Euphlia divisa if I am not mistaken, but has a...

    Quick salt mixing question

    I am making up some salt water and I don't remember how much to add to get the right SG. I think it is 1/2 cup per 1 gallon, but I am not sure. It is Red Sea salt mix if that matters.

    Culturing Phytoplankton and Rotifers

    Dinhouse, do you filter out the phyto before adding to the tank or do you dump the entire contents of the 2liter in? I ask because I have seen both and have heard that depending on the type of nutrients you use there can be extra phosphates/nitrates and other nutrients that have built up and...

    Culturing Phytoplankton and Rotifers

    Sweet, thanks for the infor Dinhouse. I have heard that people use Petersons fertilizer?? or purchase a nutrient from florida-aqua-farms. I have heard the downfall of fertilizer is that it has high amount of phosphate and nitrates in it. How about rotifers? Anyone had luck with these?
