    salvaging a sps

    I was thinking I could take off the return line on each side of my oceanic reef ready tank, it is the bendable hose that came w/the tank. I'd change to some pvc pipe of hose off of some fittings to add more water return lines. I'm assuming the pump is big enough to push that much water through...

    salvaging a sps

    I have a purple table top was doing awesome since I got it in March, now it is loosing flesh on the bottom. There is still polyp extension on the ends about 1" to 1/2" depending on the location. Will the coral live or do I break off the surviving pieces and frag it all out and toss the base of it.

    critter sites

    Well, I got a frag on ebay, it has some bugs on it. They aren't as yellow as the redbugs I've seen pictures of. I can't get a clear picture of the dang things. They are clear to light brownish color, about (~) that big. I was acclimating them and saw something red swimming on the surface of...

    Help with red bugs and Interceptor

    red bugs I called one of my LFS and asked about something to kill redbugs on Acropora. She said she didn't know what I was talking about. Very scary, I can't believe a LFS would not know about these pest. I ordered off ebay, and I don't have a quaranteen tank. I was floating the frags in a...

    how to read the seachem calcium test

    Want to make sure I understand this test. You have a syring you fill, which is 1.0ml, drop by drop add till blue color. Normally I get to blue at .2 or .1, this time I used all 1.0 then added another .4. I have way to much calcium right? .2 would be 400 and the .1 would be 450, so at 14 i...

    making pom pom xenia stick

    there isn't much "stalk" to the frag, so I put the band over the top of the polyps to hold the base to some rock?

    making pom pom xenia stick

    my super glue gel is not doing the job on the pulsing pom pom xenia, they stick fine, then next morning will be loose on the bottom. I've got it in a jelly jar with plastic screen over the top now, and sure enough it came loose again. What can I use to make it stay?

    appropriate tank demensions

    I'm looking at a 210 or 220 gallon tank from my LFS they want $500 non drilled or a drilled all glass for $580. Told the reef club member I couldn't buy his tank due to the height of it. My hubby is saying to keep my 135 which is 18" wide. I believe the 120 or the 90 is also 24" wide?

    reef complete or...?

    I'm out of reef complete, I use Reef Builder, Calcium. I've stopped the iron, iodine, essential vitamins, and Strontium/magnesium. I stopped due to advise that I shouldn't add anything I don't test for. Also I was fighting hair algae and was concerned they might be contributing to it. What...
