    Filefish test day 1

    Mine cleaned out tank in 3 days. Now he eats dried Mysis and seems pretty happy. Has been in the tank for a couple of months and has not bothered any corals. I am a happy reefer. Been fighting majanos for over 12 years.

    My new trained filefish

    No Mo Mojanos! 48 hours and they are gone after years of fighting them.

    My new trained filefish

    So far he is not eating any other foods, but he is still getting comfy in the tank.

    My new trained filefish

    I have been waiting for a couple of month for Todd to catch the filefish I got from him. He was finally able to do it New Years Eve. I have been fighting majanos for years. Usually do a killing spree every few months and kill everything in sight with kalk paste. Then in a couple of weeks they...

    What anemones do you have and how long have you kept them?

    I have had anemones for 17 years. I had a green long tentacle for 10 years, it died because the perc clowns that hosted in it pulled all the food from it's mouth and spit it out. It eventually shrunk. I have had rbtas for the last 8 or 10 years and they flourish. Every time they split 2 or 3...

    What's on my glass?

    Just went to feed my fish and found weird little round spots with a thin tail. Bad pics, maybe you can identify them. There are about 25 0f them. The spots a about 1/16" in diameter and the tails 1/2-1" long and floating in the current.

    coralline algae removeal

    On my old tank, I had some coraline that was really tough. I tried a dozer but it dulled really quickly. I finally made some scrapers. Looked like the dozer was made from a piece of ABS. I have a partial 4x8 sheet of 1/4" ABS so I cut a number of pieces about 1.5" x 6-8". They worked well and...

    Calcium Discussion - Add yer 2 cents

    A guy that did a seminar at Seamax on Sunday said he uses a BRS 1.1ml dosing pump to dose BRS DIY 2 part. He tests once a week and changes the dosing if needed. Said it rund pretty constant most of the time. he also uses kalk in the ato. That is what got me thinking about the topic.

    Calcium Discussion - Add yer 2 cents

    Yeah Mike, the solenoid sticking is what I am worried about. That's why I have never set up the calcium reactor. Would it work to do 2 part and Kalk in the ATO? Why does 2 part require water changes? Just want an easy, safe way to supplement calcium as my SPS's grow out.

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    The fact that it had pretty low attendance was why it is not a national event. Hopefully it will come back again and grow. I am sure there are a lot more reefers that would have come if they knew about it. Advertising something like that is tough and expensive. I sold some corals on Craigslist...

    Calcium Discussion - Add yer 2 cents

    Hey all, After going to Seamax yesterday I am reconsidering a calcium reactor. I have been using a kalk reactor in my topoff for 15 years. It is totally automated and works flawlessly and thoughtlessly. I add a 1/2 lb of kalk every 4-6 weeks My frogspawn and candy canes grow like crazy. I just...

    Flow - Is it important 24/7 ?

    On my new setup I added a Reeflow Dart on an Oceans Motions 4 way. It raised the temp in my tank to 84, so rather than get a chiller I set my controller to run it for an hour and a half and off for an hour. Now the temp stays down and everyone seems happy. My RBTA is right in the flow of an...

    Can you ID these zoos?

    I got the red ppe from Kraken, he confirmed that that's what they are. Though everything seems up for debate.

    Anyone ever try Garf Grunge?

    We will see. I think my tank has gotten pretty sterile over the years. Never see any pods and there were no bristle worms when I did the swap. Hopefully this will get things going again.

    Anyone ever try Garf Grunge?

    I just swapped out my 15 year old 100 gallon reef tank with a 125. It was amazingly well established and overgrown. Now as expected, I am having a small cycle Just ordered a Garf Diverstiy package. It has 15 pounds of rubble from their various reef tanks intermixed over 30 years. Supposedly...
