Would anyone be interested in trading some frags? I live in the north burbs and figured there had to be some fellow reefers around who would be up for it.

I think that is my older brother in his next life.

I found it...search heavy metals and it is under "how long does lr last". It isn't quite how I remembered it, but it may help. HTH

there was something on this some weeks back...try a search in here under how long does lr last or heavy metals. the thread is long and ends up with charts and links...I'll try to find it for you.

My system has been up for about a year now and I am tired of my trates going up because of the wet dry. I was thinking of changing it over and putting some baserock in the sump, that I assume would become live in time. Will this help? The water moves at about 500 gph in there, give or take...

I would have a trained orca, shrunk to 1/1000 scale (or whatever needed to fit in a 75) that I could sic on my evil hard to catch damsels. It would also be quite the conversation piece.

I just bought some of the stuff and it made for some happy tank mates. The corals, fish, and the clean up crew all gorged themselves on the stuff. Even when it is not bad it smells terrible. Whiff at your own risk.

I echo Thomas...but as for hardware/living stuff I think adding a refuge. Pods all over the place, lower trates, and a whole new world to keep an eye on.

anyone have an idea?

I have a question for anyone who has tried to make their own base rock...From what I have read, you need portland type 3 cement. I have never heard of the stuff. I asked my father, who owns two construction companies, and he has never heard of the stuff. Is this the same as Spec mix? Spec...

I live in the Chicago area and I would be interested in your condy. I would be happy to trade you some frags or something...e-mail me at ekclark77@yahoo.com

I have a hang on refuge and i am pretty happy with it. I used kent biosediment as its substrate and this works well because it is so fine. My pods and macro are growing like mad. I will someday make a larger one, but the hang on isn't too bad, IMO. Oh...I keep mine on the side of the tank so...

Do a search in this forum...red slime may be the most talked about thing on this site, minus of course the cycle and water chemistry. You will find all you need and more! HTH

Yeah...I do feed some of it to my tank, but the fish don't seem too into the taste of grape caulpera. I also don't like that it gets pulled into powerheads and such and returns all the nutrients back into the water. I feed some, but I am looking for a way to get the pods off for the stuff I do...

I need to cut some of the macro out of my refuge and I was wondering about something...does anyone have a technique for separating all the pods out of it? I feel bad losing all these guys when I crop and was hoping someone here had some brilliant secret for saving their tiny lives.

Four feet squared for $50 would be a pretty nice deal. I could frag it, travel the country, and become the Johnny Appleseed/Preparation-H Raymond of colt corals:) Thumbs up to swf.com for adding so many new corals.

I wouldn't worry about it prolonging your cycle...you will be getting a ton of good bacteria and it could speed your cycle. Make sure your salinity, temp, and such are where you want them. Enjoy your first load and maybe get a magnifying glass to see all the little guys that will come out to...

I have a cpr hang on refuge on my 75 and I am a big fan. It was no work and I just had to buy a little 13 watt compact to clip on to it. The whole thing cost me about $140 and it is now filled with pods and two types of macro. It is worth a look.

I just ordered another U-build it and was wondering how big the colt I ordered is? It is listed as large, but what does that mean? Anyone order one of these? What should I expect? Thanks

The thing that endears my evil blue legs to me is watching them climb on the back of a snail and suddenly finding themselves half way up the tank side with no parachute. These guys are really the court jesters of my tank, much more so than the quiet sophistication of the scarlets.
