    My PBT. He keeps "giving up" only to come back a minute or two later: My scopas is the most energetic, and the most upright of the two. He does have the weird growing splotch that you can see in this picture, though:

    Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrites: 0ppm Nitrates: 0ppm pH: 8.19 I didn't monitor my pH closely enough during the dosing, I quite likely could have had an oxygen depletion during that time, but I'm assuming the problem has corrected itself due to my ccurrent pH. Is there anything I can do to help a fish...

    Tangs in trouble, help! (Pics coming soon)

    I have been having planaria flatworm troubles for a few months now so yesterday I finally pulled the trigger on dosing my tank with Salifert Flatworm Exit. For two days before hand I siphoned out every visible flatworm I could see and yesterday at 6:00pm I added three capfuls (twice the...

    SANDS 300 Semi-Cubed Build

    I can agree with you about the burst speed and capacity (6.3 fps is very sick), but I have read many reviews and seen multiple side by side shots from the T1i that shows them having roughly the same noise in lower ISOs and the T1i edging out over the 50D in ISO 1600 and above (The T1i also has...

    SANDS 300 Semi-Cubed Build

    After doing a lot of research into buying my Rebel T1i it also came up that besides the build quality, pentaprism viewfinder, and better autofocusing, and different interface the rebel is actually a better camera then the 50D as far as image quality and high ISO noise reduction goes. Plus the...

    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    Decided I'd finally post some updated pictures as its been a long time and I got a new camera/lens combo (Rebel T1i + Canon 100mm Macro Lens). Fishies Yellow Watchmen Goby does not like intruders near his cave! Unfortunately, my Powder Blue Tang really does not like him and dive bombs him...

    A whole new dimension!!!

    No calcium reactor NEEDS a pH contoller, but they are convenient if you don't want to overdose the CO2 and turn your media into mush. I know a guy who modded his Korallin reactor to place a pH probe in the reaction chamber. As an alternative you can have the effluent pour into a cup that you...

    A whole new dimension!!!

    Well, if they get clogged up that fast it must be working! Right? Did you rinse your sand before adding it?

    A whole new dimension!!!

    Have you tried putting some kind of filter sock on the overflow outlet pipe? That normally curbs sand storms for me pretty fast if you remember to take it out after 24 hours. I think that whenever you use new sand there are always some absolutely tiny particles that never want to settle until...

    CO2 Scrubber?

    Got it, thank you!

    CO2 Scrubber?

    Funny thing about my calcium reactor, its all rigged up but i don't even have CO2 flowing through it. I got it together right before i went on a two week vacation and didn't want to risk a CO2 overdose, and since I got back a few days ago I haven't wanted to mess with it. When (or if) I bite the...
