I had never heard that it was bad to remove them the way I do. LFS does it this way, and Ive seen literally dozens of posts regarding this subject that use the same methods. I have never heard of bad results this way, yet i have seen dozens of posts saying the worst way is to buy a creature to...

Also, I have read that a mated pair of clowns are sometimes less likely to take to an anemone, and I have witnessed this in my tank so far. 2 false percs that are mated in my tank will not go into either of my anemones. Its been a couple of months. Maybe they dont feel they need the protection...

Im sure others will chime in, but buying a creature to eliminate something like aptasia is only going to cause you more problems in the future. Once the aptasia is gone (if they even eat it?) it will starve....i dont have any personal experience, but have read that they die easily this way, and...

Hey Bang, believe me, Im not one to follow blindly, except in the fact that everything you have told me to date is correct, and other posts I have read by you solidify that fact. Im sure ya make mistakes sometimes I did check the ph yesterday...whew....was like 7.4 so I didnt even bother with...

the foolish thing, is I knew this already-to add to tank only-since you told me that a couple of weeks ago, and I even POSTED to someone else this fact when a question was raised about adding to tank or mixing water! Im a better coach sometimes than player :rolleyes: Problem was, in my head...

Damn...did something dumb I know, wont do it again... I mixed up my 5 gal replacement water last night in my bucket with powerhead etc . All parameters are getting closer and closer to perfect, clac (was 360, now almost 400)and alk (was around 6 meg/l and is now 4.5 meg/L) etc...but i noticed...

I do spot feed mine every once in a while, not as much as I used to. Seems he/she always gets some food to munch on during feeding anyway. The only warning I have heard/read from informational websites (if you read about them on this site for example in the description) is that if you have an...

I love when people post these before and afters....and your tank looks great (that sailfin will get to be around 15" you know! lol) I am curious if you could post what you did differently. Its great to have the pics...can you give us all some stats or methods that turned the tank around? It...

Agreed...I had a rio 800 and had restarting problems...I now use it for mixing replacement water. Purchased a maxi-jet 900 for my tank...works awesome.

murph... Thank you! I appreciate you posting when you get it so I can see if lfs can get it...im on a damn canister and wet dry, so carbon is a big help ;-)

Hey murph... damn! whats the name of the carbon manufacturer...I would love to get some...who cares about the $, I would love to not have to change it every 2 weeks or so!!! Thanks!

Good afternoon! Anyone have any experience with this frozen food? I got some clove polyps and while I was there, lfs reccomended it as a great food for eveything anyway. I used it twice now and it really seems to get into everything. Also...am I overfeeding? Here is whatI am feeding once a day...

The only note I have is that your carbon is in there for too long. By 3 weeks or so, usually the carbon is used up, with a more likely scenario of your bioload used up in 2 weeks or so.

I would say definately not in the size aquarium you are speaking of. The CBS wil probably have a couple of good meals :-)

are you sure that isnt a bristle worm? That arm looks mighty long, and if you have never seen the body..... Just a thought

anyone want to add any? figured we can joke around for a while....

it is called a water change sorry, couldnt resist...

Reef, Thanks! Awesome post, though it took me 3 reads to understand it lol The water i use for my tank is originally from a well. It is run through a 1 micron floss and carbon home system, through a water softener, then through a countertop unit: cyclonic ozone, High intensity UV light, .05...

Family and friends stop coming over because all you do is make them stare at the tank with you you have learned more chemistry owning this tank than you ever did in school You can name every creature in your tank by its latin name, but still cant remember your spouses birthday every 5 purchases...

Bang....thanks for the reply again After discussion here, and on another board, and my lfs which has had advice similar to the better reefkeepers on this site like you-and unlike PLB who you may know? lol- I decided to purchase (and did during lunch) kents phosphate sponge. He suggested running...
