'Dont have a camera. SG is 1.023. I'll try feeding some shrimp or oyster. Thanks !!

I have a choc. chip star that has a white "chalky" like stuff on it, it's had this for a month or so. Now I notice my pink sea cuke has a white spot (about 1/8 inch) next to his oral openng. My water quality seems to be o.k. NH3,NO2,NO3 are all zero. Temp is 78.5. pH is 8.2. Alk is "normal"...

I have an eltronic ballast equiped with HQI lampholder. Can I replace the HQI with a mogul socket and use probe start bulb ??

I put a yellow watchman in my 45 about 2 mo. ago .... ' haven't seen him since. Hopefully he's taken residence somewhere in the live rock ... maybe someday he'll show himself and surprize me ... if he hasn't turned into food for the clean-up crew.

I've received 3 shipments from here, fish and inverts. 'Haven't been dissapointed yet ... in fact wouldn't buy anywhere else.

I've got a 400W MH ballast (pulled from a video projector). Would it be possible to run two 175 MHs off of this? 'Might be a dumb question but I'm MH illiterate.

I've goy a jebo skimmer that works pretty good .... but I've had a couple of overflows too. I found that the hole that the airline feeds to the venturi on the pump was plugging up, which restricyed air flow. Last night I took off the venturi and enlarged the small hole with a drill bit, it...

The nays have it.

Thanks for all the input. I guess I'll take my chances and put the inverts in my tank. The fishies will just have to wait a month or so. Thanks again, it's sure nice to get some different opinions.

And the debate goes on. Maybe I can feed my fish out of the can of worms I've opened !!

Question .... I'm receiving an order of fish and inverts (shrimp and stars). I've got my quarentine tank set up ready to go. Do I need to quarentine the inverts with the fish or can I put them in my tank??? I've gone through one bout of ich and don't care to do it again. Any advice ??? Thanks !!!

Thanks, I'll scrape the glass but have it on the decorative coral to. Hopefully when I add the cleanup critters they'll help me out a bit on the decorations. 'Have about 20 turbo snails now, but plan on adding some hermits and camelback shrimp.

I'm pretty new to the hobby, but worked in the freshwater aquaculture industry for about 10 years. Maybe I'm missing something .... but why not put bioballs in your filter ?? The nitrate that you'll get will come from the conversion of more toxic nitrite won't it ?? Back on the old "fish...

Gotta question ..... 'Just started cycling my tank about a week and a half ago and I'm getting a light brown coating on everything. I used distilled water when I made my saltwater, and added a good potion of phosguard to my canister filter before starting it, 'trying to keep phosphates low to...
