    forgot to rinse carbon!!!

    Not at all? The amount of growth is something that I have tried to get by supplimenting the water with chemicals... and For 2 or more months of not adding anything my frogspawn went from 4-5 heads to 10-15. Just trying to figure my tank out... Getting back into the tank since being underway...

    forgot to rinse carbon!!!

    I just cleaned my canister (I know... bad thing) It has been well over 2 months and I had forgotten that I had put rubble rock in instead of carbon. I was not home or well enough (motorcycle accident) to test the water or document anything. I have noticed that the amount of growth on my...

    Ideal Reef water temperature?

    I pretty much let my tank flucuate as it does. During the summer I watch the temp and corals for stress. My 55gal temp goes from 70 to around 86 any given day. I read somewhere once that if you continually fluctuate the temps when you lose a day of heat or the tank gets overly hot the damage...

    Cold water coral

    I went to Port Angeles for the Crab Festival and stopped into the Marine center there. In the back room they had some bags of dead things from the local waters to look at. 2 of the bags were corals. Acro and Aleva poras...I think. does anyone know of this recent find of cold water corals in...

    Pulsing Xenia

    I will have to try the septic tank.. just flush it... I have had it grow from the rock to the back of the tank. It is really easy to scrape off for fragging.

    Saipan is a great place... would love to go back. Have fun while out there. On the things being dead... wouldn't it be easier to evaluate a creature if you can watch it move and eat? Just asking the question

    Replacement ballast/bulbs

    I have dealt directly with PFO...and their prices were low... so if you can find a number for Current, try them directly

    Swimming pool into reef tank

    No lotions, oils or makeup. The Pacific Island Club in Guam has a swim through aquarium. No corals, just fish and clams. They pump the water from the ocean to the pool/aquarium and then it just returns straight to the ocean. I don't see why you couldn't turn a pool into a tank... I say "GO...

    is aiptasia really bad?

    They really are not that pretty. I have one stubborn one that won't go away... have tried to pull it out, kalk paste, injecting it with kalk water, joe's.. nothing seems to get rid of that one stalk. Anthony Calfo talks about using them as a filter bed for tanks... Just depends on where they...

    Winter is near

    Thanks trido. I got a good laugh. While in Guam I went around looking for a box or plug so I didn't have to build the cable... no one had one. Or knew what one was. But if I said "suicide cable" the ran and got the closest one to them to show me what it was. Definately would rather have...

    Winter is near

    just make a suicide cable. And add a plug to your power box.. just turn off the main power to the house and back feed your house... and just power from the gen to the box or into the dryer outlet.. not a long cord and no need to move plugs from their outlets.... just turn off what you don't...
