    yet another cyno Q.

    you mentioned taking your water to the lfs? do you not have testing kits? This you will need to keep corals. And if you can"t test for that c-balance, then i wouldn"t put it in. How do you know how much is needed. If you don't have LPS or SPS or clams, then you should be able to keep cal...

    yet another cyno Q.

    C-balance should not fuel cyano, not a food. The rubble rock in your sump will, acts like bio-balls. they will trap detrius and nastyness. This will be a good fuel source, and without a light source will show up in your display. from time to time they will need tobe cleaned. I would clean...

    yet another cyno Q.

    caulerpa is one to watch out for, some can lead to problems. chaeto is a good one, never had luck with it, some say it needs to tumble. As far as I've been told, man can not bottle LIVE phyto, yet. So, any dead food will dirty your water. You don't really jump start for corals. It is more...

    yet another cyno Q.

    Not sure what this is. If it is liquid food or such, could be the fuel. If it is chem dosing, prob not Yes, deff fuel. I started out using it and other liquid foods, never was good. Always had problems. Funny, I stopped using that stuff and things got better. Only use what is needed. Live...

    Worm ID, maybe bobbit type?

    found a pic that looks identical to my worm, can't find a name. i guess it is a polycheat worm (?sp?) like bristle worms, but this guy has podia legs or something like that. said they are sharp and not to handle bare handed. not a hobbit, good.

    I guess I should up date my VM. I have missed alot, during the nice months I work ALOT, with little free time. I am sorry to say, the below system is no longer. Last winter I upgraded to a larger, more updated system. I found a used(dumb) acrylic 70gal, installed a 55gal sump, and used the...

    Will a red brittle star catch and eat fish?

    NO thoughts on the em. crab? Well, the RB star is making me wonder!? I was just looking around, watching the night creeper. I see the star "perched", with it's legs holding it suspended off the ground. She had a couple legs up on a rock and the others on the ground. Suspended and not...

    PFO aquatics-soloris LED- what do you know about these lights

    That would be awesome. If you can find out what he did to his lights, i am pretty good with electronics and any tips would help. Most of the problems i herd were due to the power supply. Got them free, might as well use them right? If they need to be rewired, i will do that. But if you can...

    PFO aquatics-soloris LED- what do you know about these lights

    thank you for saying so, no one seems to chime in? I can't seem to find anyone who has experience with them? From what i have read, they were suppost to be the lights of the future, be they are CPU controlled. And i have only read from the net, not always accurate, rather hear it from someone...

    Keeping rock in place

    PFO aquatics-soloris LED- what do you know about these lights

    guess not! I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about these lights other than they went out of business and bad power supllies? Are they good lights? What are the green LEDs? that kind of stuff. I am setting up another system, and i am going to use these lights. Is there a better...

    PFO aquatics-soloris LED- what do you know about these lights

    I know they are out of business! BUT, some GAVE me 2 units (one 14 in and one 24in)! The only problem was (common problem with these i herd) they only had one power supply. They said one PS stopped working and couldn't find a new one or anyone who wanted to play with them to get both working...

    Catching Watchman Goby

    I use the clear acrylic tube, cause it is clear, don't realize it's a trap. I use a clear glass cup to catch more free swimming fish, less stressful than net.

    Toxicity Of Cyano

    I have herd that in large enough amounts, cyan releases toxins. It is the dreaded "Blue-green algea". We had it in a fresh water lake here, and people and animals were getting sick from it (lake Onterio). I was told same for reef tanks or fish, that it releases toxins, not sure how toxic to...

    Worm ID, maybe bobbit type?

    Also, when he was found, it was completly out of the rocks. All of the other worms seem to stay in the rock work some. Never exposing their whole body. This guy looked like he was hunting! Learching around, i noticed him at first because he was going up the front glass some. The other worms...
