ORA blue milli day 1

I have a clown goby and I saw him swim up to one of my SPS corals quick and then swim back to the rock. The coral had red bugs about a month ago so its bleached from the medication, polyps extension is poor but is there. I'm wondering if my goby is nipping at the coral or if its just still...

I got a maxima today and its about 2" to 2 1/2" long. I need to know how long it will take till it attaches its foot to the rock I placed it on. I also bought a bottle of DT's today to feed it, whats the best way to feed it, right now its on the bottom of my 75, I have 2x250w MH's.

I've got a 7 month old 75, When I got my LR there was a decent amount of pods on the rock. Over the past couple months my pod population had declined to almost nothing. I now rarely see a pod. I'm thinking it may be because I don't overfeed but I think I feed enough to feed them some. I have a...

I've heard that mantis's make several small pops in a row while the pistol's normally do one large pop.

There's no longer a disclaimer stating no coral sales in the classified section, does that mean its legit now. Should coral sale threads go in the classified forum or coral and trade forum?

Ok I'm pretty good with macro shots and manual focus. Most of the time I prefer to use no flash because I think it better represents the true color of the coral, when I use flash I get a variety of results in color and lighting. The thing I really don't like is when I use flash in macro mode on...

I was wondering if a maxima would do ok on the sand of a 75 with 250w MH's. The sand is about 3" deep.

Ok I had used the Phosban reactor with ROWAphos for about 2.5 months and it stopped working. So I took out the maxi400 running it and it was prefectly clean and working, cleaned it again and still didn't work. So I took the reactor out of my sump and took it apart, The top sponge was totally...

Ok I'm done with the ioidine dip and I'm almost 2 days into its approximate 5 day QT from the main tank, all red bugs are gone off the coral. I've now rigged it so that its only about 3 inches from 2x55w PC's, one 10k and one actinic03 so its at least got some decent light. Do you guys think...

Well my return pump (mag) went out this morning and I ordered a $120 eheim pump to replace it. This afternoon I took some pictures of my Larry Jackson purple monster frag and when I zoomed in I noticed it has red bugs which means I have to get some interceptor to dose the tank. Its gonna be fun...

I have had my mag9.5 for about 7 months now and have cleaned it 2-3 times in that time. The last few days we've had a few occurances of flickering power due to storms. Last night the mag crapped out and I can't get it to start agian. I've cleaned it well with vinegar. As far as I know there were...

I cleaned a bunch of calcium buildup off the heater bar and when I put it back int the tank I noticed that when my digital readout said 79 the arrow on the dial cooresponded to only about 75. I checked the water temp with 2 stick on LCD cheapo thermometers, I don't even think my tank would run...

Ok I got a red open brain from here about 3 weeks ago and it looks pretty good but I can't seem to feed it. I've been trying to get it to eat Formula 1 cubes but my clown and fire shrimp steal it before the brain gets a chance to eat it. Question is does the brain really need to eat or can it...

Do you have to get a dosing pump attached to a bucket of RODI or what. They're expensive to start with and if you gotta buy a good doser like a litermeter thats another $200-300. Also if you use a cal reactor to replace all evaporation water how could you also drip kalk, it was my impression...

I want to put a blue hippo into a 75, on another site it says the minimum size of the tank for a hippo is 70 gallons but I wanted to see what you guys think. I know a 75 is not ideal but will he be happy?

So I saw the minimum order went up to $79 which is kind of a weird number and the surcharge went up $5 to $9.99, anyone know the reason for this.

Ok I noticed my camera (Nikon 5700) takes pics in 4:3 ratio and when you go to Walgreens the pictures it prints are 4x6 pictures which are 3:2 ratio so to fit my picture it cuts a little off the top and the bottom. Do all cameras do this or what, I even noticed on a comercial for printing...

Ok I just ordered one of the red open brains. I'm planning on putting it on the sand so will I have to acclimate the coral to my lighting or will it be ok. I have 250w MH and 55w actinics. Also do I need latex gloves to handle these guys so they don't sting me.

Ok I've been wanting to get rid of my maxijets and add some more flow to my but don't like powerheads because they're such a solid wall of flow. I was thinking about getting a Tunze stream but if I did I'd have to get one with a speed control because my tank can't handle 1600GPH of flow so that...
