Hi all, I know it's been a while since I posted. I haven't made many changes to my tank over the last few months. Most of my corals have died off and I wont be adding any for a while. I have plans for a few upgrades but they will have to wait. I'm leaving next week for a 1 yr tour in...

I'm having a hard time getting it to work for me too. When I click on it, it doesn't do anything. I have to right click on it and open in a new tab in order for it to open for me! I use ie 8.0

I have a 54 gal corner tank and I had the same problem. What I did was I placed on ph near the lower middle going straight across the front of the tank and the other one near the top half on the other side. It created a nice current and it reduced the sand movement.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I finally took some pictures. I'm still having water quality problems so we decided to buy a UV sterilizer. Some of my corals are still bleaching out and not fully opening. I've been doing water changed weekly or twice a week if I had the time. My water parameters...

I did have a massive bacteria growing in my water storage tank. I replaced it and now my tank is doing great. I had a rough day yesterday. my LFS is closing its doors for good. I went to wish him well and he offered me some great prices on some of the stock he had left. I got: a new foxface (the...

I'm not familiar with a drip filter, is that like a canister filter? any way the oily film on the surface is normal but you need to try to get rid of it. Here are 2 solutions for you. 1. purchase a surface skimmer. It will replace the siphon for your filter. they work very well and are...

most people would say a year or less depending on how much you use it. The best way to gage it is with a TDS meter.

I was part of the surge. I saw that it DID work. It sucked that all our tours got extended to 15 months. I have a crippled wife (she was crippled a year ago by a German Dr.), 5 children and I'm already on alert for my next deployment which will come sooner than expected. I feel that we could be...

It was over a 2 day period. I know that it was drastic but my fish were stressed before I did it. They were breathing very fast and not looking good. I'm glad that I only lost the 2, but in the oceans fish can go through fast changes like that with minimal problems. Besides if it was Iodine...

Well as of today, everything looks back to normal. I think that my container that I used to hold my SW was contaminated. I've used this container for 2 years. Once I changed out my water storage container everything starting coming back.

Okay, I think that everyone is going to laugh at me but here goes. I have a crush on Amy Mathews from DIY Network.

I did my water change and everything is looking much better. I'm having a small algae breakout and I have the feared brown algae on my sand bed. I changed out my resins in my DI unit today. They looked pretty much depleted. I ordered another bucket of salt and a TDS meter this morning. I also...

Originally Posted by fau8 Though I agree with issue as disscussed with the idione, it is not the cause of the problem. The iodine would first affect your crustrations and then inverts. fish would be the last. So something has upset your water balence, have you cleaned your sand bed or removed a...

Okay, So last night I tested my water and everything looked good my ammonia was even back to 0. Before I went to bed all my corals were open and doing fine. The only thing was my MG was still low at 875. Now, when I came home this afternoon all my corals were closed up again. I wonder if I have...

I know that you should not dose what you can not test, but I broke the rule and did it anyway. It's only been 2 hours since I did the water change and already the corals look much better and are opening up. I figure the slight ammonia spike is from my missing Christmas wrasse. I have a lot of...

I wound up doing a 50 gal water change. I found my Christmas Wrasse dead too. I only have a Yellow Striped Maroon Clown and a LMB left. All my Zoos are closed up and my Kenya tree is all shriveled up. My BTA is all closed up too. Only half of my star polyps are open. This is what it looked like...

thanks, I'm going to do a 40 gal water change now and I'm going to stop dosing the Iodine for now till I get a test kit.

When I was 23, I was drinking and playing on a trampoline and fell on my head. When I landed I broke my sternum and ribs with my chin and had a C5-C6 spinal injury. I had a devil of a time trying to explain what happened to me to the Army docs. They thought it happed when I was jumping out of...

Hi all, I think that my tank is crashing!!!! My corals haven't opened up in a week and my Foxface Lo died this morning. I don't know what is going on. I tested my water a week ago and my salt was a little high and my CA was really high. I did 3 15 gal water changes and my water came back into...

Okay, I think that my tank is on it's way to recovery. My corals are starting to shed. My MG was really low, I'm slowly bringing it back into normal range. I thought my Wrasse died. But then I found it in my overflow. I'll keep you posted to the progress.
