What would happen if you didn't have enough gph flowing through your system?

I have what I think are compaq's (??) They are the flourescent kind. I have MH 400's on top. My LFS said he is bringing new bulbs and going to add another unit to the fuge. Also, he is ordering new bulbs for the MH. I'm sure it's time for a bulb change, it's been a little over a year. The...

OK. I got a test kit for copper, and from what I can tell from the test, I don't have a copper issue. I even tested fresh made water with IO to see if there was a difference, and they both read the same. Also, I tested for Phosphates, and that read within normal range. I did test the water...

bump. Really need help!

I think I have come to the conclusion that I have a serious copper problem. I will take you back in time for about the last year to describe what has happened up to today, so you can get a clearer picture of the history. I have a 2oo gal reef system, all parts bought new. I use RO water for...

Were you able to keep the seahorses in your 55 reef?

I'd be interested in trading in the future, as I'm just getting started, and don't have anything to trade yet. How can we keep posted? I'm in the fox valley.

I had this question a few weeks ago, but no one answered. How do they frag themselves?

Nitrate 0 PH 8.2 Again, the xenia didn't look like it was dying. No real change in color or texture, other than looking withered. I mean it did seem to look a little darker, but I thought that was due to shrinking in. When it was out and pulsing, it's color was lighter. It didn't have any...

OK. Just got done testing calcium, alk, and ph, nitrites and trates. All fall within ideal, normal range. I was concerned about water quality as I know a healthy pulsing xenia is a good sign of good water quality. But, everything else was fine. I thought maybe it was just going through...

It actually looked the same until the end. Other than looking a little withered. No change in color, or texture. It didn't even look like it died. Just fell apart. When the pieces fell off, they would get caught up in the currents, and end up landing in a little tunnel under the rocks. So...

Does anyone know why a pulsing xenia would self destruct? All other corals are healthy, thriving and opening up. Fish are healthy, everything is fine, but the xenia started kind of shriveling, then not pulsing much, then splitting off piece by piece until there was nothing left. This took...

I don't know a lot about fish compatability, but my jawfish has found a spot on the bottom of the tank under some live rock, where he dug out his hole. He barricades himself in with shells and rubble, and is one of the most interesting fish to watch. Very comical and fun to watch, however he...

I did do a little research on this message board, and all I came up with is that the Naso tangs males grow streamers. I wasn't able to find out if my zebra (sohal) or any other tangs grow streamers. So, if anyone knows the answer, thanks!

Does anyone know what I mean when I say "streamers" for tangs? I read on some post that a tangs streamers were growing, and it got me to thinkgin what is that? I have a zebra tang. If streamers were growing, what would they look like, and what does that mean?:confused:

Herbbie, because I'm an Herbalife distributor, and LOVE my business.

Yeah, we thought of that after I had him in the tank. It's too late now, I doubt I could catch him. That would have been buffet heaven!

I thought the same thing.

Yeah, I thought it was a good idea to see if I had enough food if I could get him fat and happy, now I have to worry about whether or not I have enough for three! I did a little research AFTER I bought him. I do have a 220G tank, and another 30 gal sump/refugium, and a ton of live rock, so I...

When I knew I had to hurry home and and sit and watch the tank for 2 hours before the lights went out, instead of going to the new Mel Gibson movie.
