    RO/DI waste won't shutoff

    I replaced the prefilters and ASV but I'm still getting lousy water output and lots of waste water. Could the membrane be clogged?

    Blue-jaw trigger not eating

    R.i.p. Well he didn't make it. I should have known better than to buy a fish that wasn't eating at the store.

    Blue-jaw trigger not eating

    Well I put 2.5 capfuls of Vitachem in the water, removed the carbon, and tried to feed him some crab, scallop, and shrimp. He is still not interested. Yesterday I added a big PVC pipe with one end closed off that he has taken a liking to. He still is not actively swimming around or eating...

    Blue-jaw trigger not eating

    Scallops, crab, sounds good. Maybe I'll make a seafood pasta tonight and give him some of the scraps. Damn fish eats better than my family does... How much Vita-chem do you recommend adding? Water volume is about 55 gallons. Thanks for your help Steve, I will post back with results.

    Blue-jaw trigger not eating

    Seems low already but I may drop it a bit the next time I do a water change.

    Blue-jaw trigger not eating

    Hey Steve, I picked up a blue-jaw trigger at the LFS 24 hours ago and he is still not eating. I should admit he also was not eating in the store although one of the owners assured me he was eating earlier in the day. He even offered to give me a call when the fish was eating again but I decided...

    Moving equipment to the basement

    Wouldn't hurt to put a heater and a couple airstones in the display.

    Vita-Chem vs. Carbon

    I soak food in it, not add it directly to the tank.

    My Sohal Tang has Bulimia

    The tank is looking good Mike (saw your other thread). Damn, you have a lot of stuff in there. It could be present in your main display and the other fish just aren't showing signs. Throw the hippo in hypo for about two months and if it happens again that would be the most likely explanation.

    Reef Mystique = great

    Yeah Denny's is really hit or miss. I try to stop by when I'm in the area, you never know what you're going to find (or not find). They had a tank full of chromis last week, probably still some left.

    My Sohal Tang has Bulimia

    My large angel is a food source for all the smaller fish as well, if you know what I mean.

    Reef Mystique = great

    Barrier Reef had a few large or XL chromis when I was in there about a week and a half ago for $15 each. They were nice looking fish if you're into the big ones. I picked up 9 small ones at Denny's Pet World last week for $5 apiece. I have them in quarantine but no signs of anything bad yet...

    The 240 is finally starting!!!!!

    How is that blue-face angel behaving with your corals?

    RO/DI waste won't shutoff

    Well I placed an order for new prefilters but they were shipped via UPS ground from Florida so I should expect them about this time next year :rolleyes: In the meantime I did install a pressure gauge before the membrane and it reads 40psi. I'll have to measure the supply pressure tonight but...

    Boxfish!

    When I researched putting a boxfish into my reef I came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a good idea. No doubt you've heard they can release toxins when stressed or if they die (rare but it happens). Aside from that, some species will get VERY large and lose their coloring. I have never...

    Purple Lobster

    Personally I think it is unlikely but not impossible. Even though they may not be infected with a disease they could still carry parasites that could harm other things in your tank. Doesn't hurt to isolate them in a QT for a few weeks to make sure they are eating and hopefully any nasties to...

    Leaving for Hawaii next month - Need Help

    If you have an acrylic tank, hide the cleaner magnet so they don't do you any "favors" by cleaning.

    Mandarin spew

    Ok, so it's nothing to be concerned about.
