Anybody out there have any Berghia they want to sell?

Any one know the life expectancy of a six line wrasse? I've had mine for about a year until today... He was a fat little guy and never seemed to have missed a meal. Any info would be great. Thanks...

Frogspawn will not attach to a rock since it is a hard skeleton coral. There are some glues out there on other sites that work for what you want to do. Try Zap Gel, IMHO it works the best. If you want to cement rock together so it isn't always falling try using Auquastik epoxy...haven't had...

Ich is most of your problem...chances are that if any of the new fish had ich they gave it to the whole tank. Ich is terrible that way...it can wipe out an entire tank. It sounds like most of the new fish had it because usually if 1 fish has it it dies off before the rest of it's tankmates can...

It is growing, you can see the lip underneath them. It is a favia. I have one that started out as only one of the little circular guys and now it is about the size of yours.

The only thing that tap water is good for is watering the lawn...

Thanks Granny I'll look for the thread.

If you have alot of them Mandarin Gobies are great but you should have a DSB and alot of live rock too.

I have been using Marine Environment salt for the last 7 years before that I used Tropic Marin and I liked that and had good results. Lately it has become harder for me to find ME so I was thinking about changing to something else. I was looking at Seachem Reef Salt and someone mentioned...

I was thinking about getting a copper band for my reef...? Have seen some people keep them with no problem and was wondering what you guys thought about it. Yes or No?

Your best bet was to take it out when it happened...you already have pain what's a little more? Now you have pain because it's still in there and you know to get it out you're going to have to dig it out. A pair of tweezers and a nice thick needle is all it would really take. If you want to...

Do you notice the copper band picking on your polyps? I was thinking of getting one as well. My problem is that I have a red sea zebra tang that beats on every new fish I have ever put in the tank. It drives my wife crazy because we only have a couple of fish and she wants to get another one...

I'd use the aquarium type because it usually says something about being safe for use in aquariums...meaning while they are inhabited by small expensive creatures.

Yup. I had 4 of those cheap old Rio powerheads in the tank and they would fall in the middle of the night and I'd wake up with sand blowing all over the tank. Silicone is great in that it will cure in the water. Just make sure that you scrape the area real well where you're going to put it so...

If you know where you are going to be keeping the power heads permanently you can put a dab of silicone on each suction cup and that will keep it secure. I ended up doin that with my 802's. I have 4 of them in my tank...haven't had one fall yet. The four I have in there have been in the same...

You're better off going with an under the cabinet 30 gal tank. The CPR is a nice idea but it's too small to be of any real help...if you plan on putting calupera in it you'll have to run a seperate light 24/7 or it will mature and start to go sexual. When that happens they release toxins and...

You need better lighting. What size tank do you have? A good rule of thumb is about 5 watts per gallon of lighting. You need VHO or Power PCs at least. Metal Halides IMO are best but seeing as you live in Miami they might run too hot. I can definitely say it is the lighting that is causing...

If you find something that you didn't place in your tank IMHO it is best to leave it where it is. It showed up there for a reason.

A good sand bed, skimmer, sump and water parameters is all it takes. And I agree...I think you should start sending frags out to everyone on the reef tank message board> LOL. Nice tank...I mean nnnniiiicccceeee tank.

How long has your tank been up and running? When you say that your protein skimmer sucks your sump dry where is the water going? On to the floor? If your tank is newer like under a year old you should probably be doing more water changes more frequently. My 90 reef tank has been going for...
