I had a huge aiptasia problem earlier this year in my 55 gal reef tank and after ordering and using Aiptasia X, I don't have the infestation anymore. It's still there, a few individuals in different locations, but it is as if it has reached some kind of balance with the other inhabitants in the...

I have extensive coraline growth on one of my Koralia circulators that is significantly covering the spaces between the ribs. I want to soak it in an acidic soultion and am looking for advice on which product to use. I am thinking of using CLR-not too expensive or agressive. What do y'all think...

I discovered this morning that I accidentaly placed the bottle of DT's I keep in the work fridge into the freezer last friday night. Will it still be good when it thaws out? certainly couldn't smell any worse!

I notice a couple of anenome type things in my tank-one has been there for a couple of months and I noticed the other one a week or so ago. I have removed them but after doing some research, it appears that they are aiptasia-brown in color and with the classic form seen in a number of posts...

Here's a pic of some long stringy white stuff on one of my zoa rocks. The zoas seem to be OK-the stuff has been there for over a month and is pretty slow growing but is now also on another rock nearby Thanks, John

I have my 12 gal Aquapod at work and I am finding that the temps are fluctuating-rising to near 83 in the evening when the cooling is reduced and stabilizing, but still high by the end of the work day. I am thinking of adding an additional cooling fan, like one of those computer fans, to the...

I mistakenly started this thread in the reef section so here's a link to it. Appreciate any comments/suggestions! https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/358202/alright-mr-president To the mods: I hope this doesn't violate any rules on double posting!

Took some pics from my nano that I re-started 11 days ago, after the old setup kinda crashed. Some LR, polyps, hermits, and snails survived and I started to re-stock it a week ago Monday. I got a shipment of livestock from SWF.com (thanks for the $10 credit!) Friday, for the nano and my 55 G at...

Here are some full, partial, and coral shots from my tank.

Anybody else out there like this system? I have been in the maintenance fixit business for more years than I care to remember but have never mastered the art of sweating copper pipes/fittings. I can, and have done it, but have always had problems soldering, probably because I haven't done it...

Through my lack of care, most of the inhabitants of my tank at work died, except for a few hermits, snails, and one small bunch of zoas. I had filter floss in the first chamber, the bio rings and a bag of charcoal that came with the tank in the middle chambers, and just the pump in the last...

I had to replace my 42" plasma last week and decided to not go cheap this time-got a Sony Bravia 46" LCD and I got to say, it's wayyyy better than the plasma. What do y'all think about which is better? P.S. gotta give props to Sears-they have a really cool system for major purchases; after...

I just got my 3 person office moved into a new apartment at the condo I manage and after installing a Cat5 network wiring system I got our phones, 3 PC's and one printer up and working!!! (Yeah, I'm a newb at this!). What I can't get working is the Linksys G wireless router. This router was...

My "American Brown Dog", on the left in my avatar is a grass eatin' fool! She started this the first spring after I got her from the shelter in Dec of 2006. As soon as the grass starts growing in the spring she just gobbles it down. She only eats the nice tender green shoots, going for the best...

I posted last week about my CB 750 that needed a bunch of work due to sitting outside for a couple of years and hardly ever ridden. I picked it up today and rode home in the rain. No problem there, i was just happy to get it back and running well! The mechanic who worked on it gave me a note...

I was worrying all all weekend and dreading this morning when I had a sit down scheduled with my Chief Engineer at work. He is an extremely skilled and experienced guy but he has been very unmotivated recently and has taken to disappearing for hours at a time and depending on the two way to make...

I have fallen from the pure faith and have ridden my CB750 3 or 4 times in the past 2 years. Not good. Not good at all. Won't hardly run so I had it towed to my local Honda shop. Needs the following: rebuild and gasket set 4 carbs, pull the gas tank, flush, and clean, new chain, new fork seals...

I got some montis from my LFS recently and would like your advice on where to place them. I have a 55 gal reef tank w/6 x 54 W T5 Nova Extreme Pro lighting. Also, my LFS advise against getting a clam because seeing as how it should be on the sand bed the T5 lighting wouldn't be sufficiently...

Another cold winter evening, and I am making a big pot, about 1.5 gallons, of soup. Working on the soup, and cleaning the fish tank (yes I wash my hands afterwards!), is a nice relaxing way to spend a Saturday night! This pot will be a cream of chicken and potato soup and I will have a big bowl...

I just got back from helping one of my customers assemble a basketball hoop for his daughter. The grandparents took the girls out to a movie, I slipped out of work early, and we got the 2 person assembly job done in plenty of time. Had some hot cider while working outside in the driveway putting...
