    PLEASE HELP! Skimmer going nuts

    My luck is really bad this week. Just about a half hour ago, i noticed a lot of micro bubbles in the display tank. I looked down in the sump, and my ASM G2 skimmer was producing so much foam that it had filled up the collection cup with water, and was shooting micro bubbles in the billions out...

    Cuke Nuke

    i ordered from eTropicals. Link below is of the one i ordered. http://www.etropicals.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=43&pCatId=1302 The one I received didn't look like the one they have pictured in that link. The one I got was all black. It sat around for a week, not doing much of...

    Cuke Nuke

    I added the salt right away so it has the most time possible to mix. Hopefully I can get the QT tank filled an up to temp so he can go in there if needed. But the salt isn't going to get a 24 hour mix/age like I usually do for water changes.

    Cuke Nuke

    Tap water here is pretty bad. I think that would only make an already mess an even bigger disaster. By this happening on sunday when I'm home and nothing much to do, I kind of lucked out. If it would have happened during the week when I'm at work all day, i bet i'd come home to a cloudy...

    Cuke Nuke

    I was thinking of doing that. My only worry with that is that i'm going to stress the tang even further trying to catch it and then putting it into completely different water parameters. I don't want to kill it while trying to save it basically. But maybe that's my best bet. In the last 30...

    Cuke Nuke

    I had a cuke nuke this morning involving a newly added "non-toxic" sea cucumber. I was watching the tank this morning and realized my tang was acting very strange...wildly swimming about in erratic fashion. Upon further investigation, I found my new cuke with internal organs lying beside it...

    how do you keep your sand so clean?!

    What about non-toxic Sea Cucumbers? I don't actually have one but I'm currently doing research because I'm looking to add one to keep the sand cleaner. I've found the Holothuria species to be a good candidate for the home aquarium. They aren't toxic and pose no threat if they die in the...

    Where to find tiger tail cuke

    I understand the concern everyone has about cukes. For the last 2 years, i've never even entertained the idea because people warn about it being so toxic if it feels threatened. But i'm wondering if the extreme caution with these animals isn't misguided with the less toxic cukes. Many people...

    Does this guy look healthy?

    Here's a better pic i recently took. I think it's doing just fine as well.

    Crocea Clam PS. I wish I could host this pic in its original size b/c it looks way better.

    Where to find tiger tail cuke

    potentially yes. But these cukes are suppose to be of the easiest to care for and usually do very well in capitivity. I'm thinking about just going with vivid and getting the cuke and conch. It seems the main problem is getting the cuke since not many people carry the tiger tail. I've seen...

    Where to find tiger tail cuke

    I live in an area void of LFS's. Therefore, I buy online. I'm looking for a tiger tail cucumber (was recommended to me) as well as a fighting conch and serpant star fish. Anyone body know of an online vendor that sells at least two of those? I found vividaquariums sells the cukes and stars...

    TDS Creep: How do you manage it?

    all this talk has me very confused. I had believed ro/di units produced clean water. Now you're saying there's all these other factors and that they don't necessariyly produce the same water quality i once thought?

    TDS Creep: How do you manage it?

    i've got a tds meter but it isn't inline. I'm going to do some experiments to find out how big of a tds creep problem i have. I'm looking for a new way to dose kalk and to top offs automatically. So this discussion is important because it could change what i plan to do.

    TDS Creep: How do you manage it?

    Sherman explained it to me as the first bit of water that sits in the RO/DI filter in between uses that gets contaminated. In order to avoid adding this water to your system, it's advised that you discard the first bit of water before introducing any further amount into your system.

    TDS Creep: How do you manage it?

    i'm also quite intrigued by this. I still don't know how the first bit of water get's contaminated if it's already been run through the system...or how much of it's contaminated. Those are some of the questions i'd like others to help out with.
