    Naso Tang sick

    While I can appreciate your position on "not encouraging rescue operations", I feel like I'm doing a good thing. All the "send a message back through the collection system" talk sounds like a great idea, yet there are way more uninformed fish buyers than there are informed ones. In reality...

    Naso Tang sick

    Hi, Yesterday I got a sweet deal on a tiny not-so-good looking naso tang. It's a fairly small juvenile. I got a deal on it with the intention of putting it into QT and attempting to nurse it back to good health. I've been successful at treating other fish in the past, so I am fairly...

    BTA not opening

    I think it's just dying. It's looking progressively smaller and smaller. I have no clue what's wrong with it.

    BTA not opening

    it hasn't moved since it originally moved about 4-5 weeks ago. But the last 3 weeks it hasn't been opening during the day. So I'm not to worried abou tit getting sucked into a powerhead because it seems to be staying put. I'm more concerned with it not extending it's tentacles for the last 3...

    BTA not opening

    My BTA has not been opening much the last 3 weeks. This is a huge suprise to me as I've had it for almost 2 years. It's always done so well. It all started when a PC bulb went bad ahead of schedule, and I didn't catch it right away. So the BTA moved. Since then, it's hardly opened at all...

    Anyone else use Brute 32 gallon buckets?

    i use the gry brute 32g. Home Depot? I even got the sweet wheels that fit underneath it so i can wheel it around. 32 gallons would be filled to the brim. I know this because I've been using it to do water changes for the last year. A little over halfway full is 15gallons. Hope this helps

    Drawbacks to starphire glass?

    Are there any drawbacks to starphire glass? Starphire glass has low iron and that makes me wonder if that affects the glass's integrity and whatnot...

    Am I correct on these sps species names?

    Am I correct on the species names of these sps corals? Just want to double check that I've got it right. If you know a common name of any of these, that would be nice to know as well. Acropora Sp. Acropora millepora Montipora digitata

    Starfish collecting

    herefishyfishy, i've got a similar starfish I recently found in my display. It doesn't look like the ones in the garf link don posted, but it's similar. It only has 4 legs and is a cream white color. Do you know what this sounds like and is it likely eating corals? The two times I've seen...

    Geo Reactor Frustrations

    80ml/m and 12bpm. In retrospect, the two things that I had the biggest challenge figuring out were 1. low mag leading to difficulty balancing alk/ca and 2. a junky regulator that wouldn't keep a consistant bubble count making it impossible to make adjustments. But now that it's been working...

    Electricity Costs

    Winter) Oct 1 - May 31 => $0.0365/KWH (Summer) June 1 - Sept 30 => $0.0816/KWH Avg. => $0.0515/KWH We calculated energy use for my 75g reef at about 15-20 bucks/month. Not bad for all the pumps and 500w of metal halides. Good ole Public Power...

    Geo Reactor Frustrations

    Just wanted to add some pics to show how one of my sps corals is doing despite all the difficulty that I've had getting the calcium reactor going. I would say 75% of the growth in the second picture happened in the last month. Mid February April 25th

    Geo Reactor Frustrations

    switched out to a genx regulator...and the reactor's been working like a dream for the last week. I've got to the point where I know how to adjust everything and make the reactor work correctly. Thanks for all the help Don.
