Originally posted by zanemoseley I'd advise against just throwing the ROWA in unless you have a very fine media bad. I've heard a few reports of having brown tinted water and a ROWA dusting on everything caused by not running ROWA properly. I guess what I said could (and might) be taken...

Okay, ROWAphos it is then. I figure I'll toss it in the overflow until I can get a reactor biult. As far as the source of the problem? I have no idea what it is. I don't overfeed, I use RO/DI, & I don't add anything to my tank (no additives - NOTHING!).

Originally posted by Scotts Well first of all let's get this out of the way. The tang police wil tell you that the yellow tang should be kept in a min. of 75 gallons. Plus with that much live rock there is not much room to swim. I will admit that I don't know, just passing on what I have...

I've never tried rowaphos before. I've tried all kinds of stuff.' The problem is that measurable phosphate is at 0.03 Here are the water conditions I forgot to add - PH - 8.5, Temp - 79, SG - 1.025, ammonia - 0, nitrite - 0, nitrate - 5, Calcium - 490, dKH - 13.1 Would phosban remove phosphate...

But of course I've kept up the battle. But it has been a battle. I never had it before I switched to this tank. I don't have HA in my fowlr tank or my Qtank wich houses 2 maroons & 2 damsels. Anyway here are the tank details - 60g display, 30g sump lighting is two - 250watt ushios (10k). On 9...

Originally posted by beaslbob I was suprised by this question. Actually don't have any experience with led but gut feel is that they do not put out any where near enough light. Really? I'm thinking that anything bright enough to see is going to be too bright except on nights where there is a...

A friend of mine is using Workhorse 7 ballasts for the vho's on his tank ($35 each). The workhorse ballast seems like a steal compared to the $200 you might spend for an IceCap. I know the Workhorse 3 ballasts I have on a few pc fixtures have run trouble free for over 5 years now.

I've found that the prism skimmer usually ends up on the smaller tanks like an 18g tall used for quarantine purposes.

Originally posted by ozadars if it did it once, why wouldnt do again? They were both put in the tank shortly after it cycled. But I added the clown about 3 weeks later. I'm just not sure if it was a one time thing or what? They used to get along pretty well before. The tank usually gets fed...

I've got a question about my maroon clown. He was living happily in my FO tank for almost a year. When he got bit by my dogface puffer during a feeding frenzy, I put him in the hospital tank, to heal. Now he's ready to go back. But I'm unsure if this will happen again. Am I just taking a risk...

Originally posted by SCARYBO Thanks Graham, I'm still doing my research since this is my first digital. I'll check out the cannon. Congrats on the bubble tip Graham, I just noticed that's my mug in one of your photos. I'm the guy with the sunglasses in the shirt collar.

Originally posted by bigmac Hey Roland, did you move or are you talking about Menton beach (isn't that the name of the little town at the bottom of hwy 38) Doh!!!! I'm not Roland for sure He lives way out there! I know OldYellerTang but I'm not him. I do like that benz he drives! LOL!!!

Hey guys, it's on again! Frag swap Jan 17th in the LA area. Roland, have you been following the thread on --? Same Time, Same Place!

Hey, I'm about 10 miles from the beach. I could make a fortune!!! Seriously though, a big salt water distributor around here - Catalina water collects their water in Long Beach I believe. They just filter it & it's ready for your tank. I was toying with the idea of starting up a local water tank...

I have this link ( on google at rec.aquaria.marine.reefs ) to a discussion on a closed loop & was wondering who is right. There is a question about head pressure. Is there head on a closed loop or just friction loss? closed loop link (Scroll up to the top of the thread)

Originally posted by SLOFish elitsoh, is that one of those nocturnal corals. the bright orange one. what is it? It looks like a sun polyp (Tubastrea sp). Not necessarily nocturnal. I had a friend who used to feed that coral the same time every day at sunset. 30 - 45 minutes before feeding it...

I had to cut it down to size because it is posted somewhere else. But I like this shot of my dragonette. And the second one was taken at the Long Beach Aquarium my son in the picture was not intentional

Here it is.
