    Regarding Acan LED's

    Thanks, I just can't stop changing them. I was hoping someone already went through what I'm going through and could tell me their %'s and time settings.

    Name that coral!

    Looks like they might be Duncans and a torch.

    Regarding Acan LED's

    I posted this in "lighting" but no one could help- ~~ I'm running 2- 24" LED's on my 55. The colors are white, colors, and blue and are programmable 7 time settings and 0-100% intensity. I can't seem to find the sweet spot that gives me the best look and the best results. Mixed reef with SPS...

    Acan Lighting ?

    I'm running 2- 24" LED's on my 55. The colors are white, colors, and blue and are programmable 7 time settings and 0-100% intensity. I can't seem to find the sweet spot that gives me the best look and the best results. Mixed reef with SPS and LPS. Anyone have these lights that might suggest...

    Yellow tang

    I still find it hard to believe that a 4" yellow tang would totally disappear overnight, with just a "few' hermit crabs.

    Yellow tang

    Did you look the floor? It's very unlikely that a CBS will devour 3 yellow tangs overnight. Maybe he's hiding them in a rock cave?

    Unreal ordering policy issue

    I've had the same problem with them. Their customer service is second to none, but that policy of not allowing credits if they are running any kind of promotion has bugged me for years. Maybe if enough people mention it they might change. Don't think for a minute that they don't read these boards.

    Need some help with 5 year established tank

    Not sure where to start. Since what you have right now seems to be doing well, I assume your readings (ph, alk, dkh,phos.,nitrates, etc.) are all good. It's pretty hard not to grow cheto. Maybe your skimmer isn't leave enough for it to feed on. Also it needs some light. What are your lights in...

    Back to store

    Sorry, I didn't realize you bought a minnow and want to return a great white! Any local fish clubs in your area?

    Back to store

    Every store has different policies in this regard. Ask them. I bet they'd oblige. After all you are the "customer".

    Mcckosker flasher wrasse

    Thanks, it's the first thing I checked. My reef has a full canopy but it's not airtight. I'm starting to think my serpent or brittle star might have snagged it if it was scared and hiding. I'll give it another week before I have a memorial service. Too bad, it looked great in the bag...

    Mcckosker flasher wrasse

    Picked up one of these and acclimated well LAST Tuesday (10 days ago. I haven't seen him since I introduced him to the reef. 55 gal with many many hiding places. Only other fish are a tomato clown,diamond goby and small percula clown. I know they are timid and was told he may not come out for a...

    Hijacker - Pretty sure its a bubble tip

    It's probably just the tint in your picture , but the mojamo I fight with is bright green. I make a thin paste out of kalkwasser and hot water and inject it into the mouth. Kills it instantly. The problem is: you can't get what you don't see and it grows behind rocks and continues to spread. I...

    LFS near Hartford CT

    Since we're at it. West Hartford recently lost the biggest saltwater and reef store in the area due to economic conditions (it appears). Any suggestions for an alternative? Thanks

    Leaving my wife in charge of the tank.

    For what it's worth: I go away for a month every year and leave my son-in-law in charge. When I leave I make sure everything is perfect. I leave him 50 gallons of top-off water and 8-10 little plastic containers of food. He comes over every 3-4 days, tops off, feeds and leaves. I've been doing...

    Shaving brushes-

    I'll leave it there. It's tipped over with 8-10 hairs sticking up, but the root system appears to be somewhat complete. The other ones look great ! Thanks for the help.

    Shaving brushes-

    Good news to report. I put 6 in the refugium 2 weeks ago. After a week one of them was pure white and the others were in various stages of getting white. I took the board's advice and "gave them time". The one that was all white kind of disappeared. Is it possible that critters in the refugium...

    Shaving brushes-

    Hi, Substrate in refugium is about 2-2 1/2". Nutrient level is good- I dose a drop or 2 of iron maybe once a week. Macro algae grows like a weed in there. I'll give them some time. Thanks P.S. It's lit 16 hours a day.
