You mentioned that you added some live rock around the same time they stopped opening. Have you checked your water levels to make sure there is not any die off happening from the new rock you added. Even when purchasing live rock from a pet store as "cured", you have to be very careful. If...

Did not notice anything unusual on the angel, just very nervous and did not ever eat when I fed the tank. I generally only feed every two days, but with new fish I feed small amounts daily. I was feeding formula one flake and frozen mysis. I'm not as worried about params being due to fish...

Calcum is 480. Rechecked the Alkalinity again, still 5.5 meq/L. Test does show that to be an acceptable range. They do infact show 4-6 for the range to be within. I also looked up a Alkalinity chart in the archives and mine is what is shown to correspond with calcium. Their chart shows 470...

I am using Seachem test kits. The range is within what their results say are ok for tank water. They list 4-6. I will take it out and re-read this again. If this is not the correct range, then what is? What would be a reason for high alkalinity? I'm not really convinced the fish died from...

Did you rinse it out before putting it into your tank?

Hello, Just wanted to ask some quick advice on my current water params. Background information, I have 75 gallon tank reef (mostly softies), I do weekly water changes, 10 gallons, The tanks is mostly uncovered. It has 2 glass squares on each end of the tank that the lights rest on. I recently...

Where do you get your replacement filters and what are you paying? I was just checking out the drs and it could cost me about 200+ to replace these and looking more in the 300 range. Is that accurate? At that price I would be better off to get it someone else. When people use bottled water...

good to know, thanks! I bought the unit off of a friend, I trusted his word that the filters were new. He is very "type A" personality!!

I have yet to replace filters or membrane in the unit. I bought it a couple of years ago from someone breaking down the tank. He said the filters were new at that point. It has not had nearly the use that it should. It has been slow since I first purchased it. We had very hard water. When...

Have had two tanks going. Nano 19 gallon bow front with a single MH 250w pendant and I have a 75 gallon that I am on my 2nd set of T-5's. I would recommend the MH. I think you would be surprised that a MH Pendant light isnt too bad for cost, and if you start with T-5's and they are not what...

Aggreed, beautiful fish! Guy parting out his tank had it in a 72. Hopefully someone with a large tank will come and scoop him up!

What google doesnt bring, SWF will! They have it listed in their grouper section. It is actually spelled miniatus grouper. Needs a 150 gallon. Coral safe, not invert safe. Pretty fish, but not the one for me! My brain has been over so slightly expanded with this new knowledge!

Anyone heard of this type of fish before? Its a type of coral grouper. I've been checking CL for people selling coral, livestock, ect. Someone I contacted had one of these. I tried doing a google search just to see what it was, but didnt pull alot of information. Being that its a grouper, I...

New Years resolution this year is to be good and ALWAYS use RO/DI. The sad thing is that I have the unit, but it takes soooo L O N G!! I've been dripping for two days and I am up to maybe 10 gallons at most! It is supposed to do 24 gallons a day. Anyone else have this problem. Pressure...

GREAT Pics!

Any changes with the nem? Forgot to ask what your SG was?

The guy never said what kind of anenome they were. I saw the bubble like tips and figured they were BTA's. They are unusual looking. When I first saw them I thought they were hairy mushrooms.

Also no expert (lol), looks like a long tentacle anenome to me. Hmm, could be a game, Name that anenome, 10 seconds on the board...... Whats the prize???
