    bryopsis help!!!!!

    As Nikki said I've eliminated it twice by raising my magnesium. I raised it to the max recommended limit of 1500 and it's faded away pretty quickly. Raise it slowly as per the instructions on the bottle, then maintain the level as long as needed. Don't know why it works, but it did.

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    Nikki you're right. My white balance is set for the Phoenix bulbs--I need to reset it.

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    Especially on that one, but all except the granulosa show polyp extension during the day. The granulosa has never extended its polyps during the day--I've had it for 2 years

    Thanks Charlie. Yes it is and the polyp extension has been unbelievable since I pulled the sandbed

    Hooked's anemone habitat

    A couple of livestock shots. I moved stuff from the prop tank and the 90 and pretty much filled the new tank.

    Hooked's anemone habitat

    Here's a pic showing the entire system, which is all plumbed together. The two sumps are connected by a 2" pipe that has a ball valve in it so I can run them seperately if I want to. You can see the connection on the right side of the 90 gallon cabinet.

    Hooked's anemone habitat

    This was supposed to be a 24" cube, but I got a great deal on a barely used 70ish gallon tank. It is 36 long x 24 wide x 20 deep--great for aquascaping. The return is a 1/2" seaswirl on a Panworld 50 PX and the closed loop is a Panworld 100 PX-X. I'm using an ASM G-1X in a sump that is...

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    updated pics. Things seem to be doing pretty well -- since I removed the Phoenix bulbs. I know it sounds crazy and no one else has reported this problem, but I swear they were burning the tips off of my acros. I put tha ABs back in a couple of weeks ago and things are coloring up and growing...

    Phoenix bulbs and sps

    About 8 months Nick The bleached stuff is in spots all over the tank--there are bleached pieces right next to pieces that are fine. I've run carbon and phosphate remover consistently for over a year--nothing has changed. I run a large chiller and my temp stays very steady around 78-80. I did...

    Phoenix bulbs and sps

    Guess I should have mentioned that I did the acclimation thing using layers of screen. Most things browned out on me. When I removed the screen they colored back up nicely, but now I'm having the same problem again. Guess I should also mention that I switched from from AB 10k DE, not from a SE...

    Phoenix bulbs and sps

    I switched to Phoenix bulbs a few months ago and it seems like they are absolutley frying some of my sps. All my montis bleached first, which led me to believe it was a light intensity problem. Over time many of my other sps have suffered--it looks like the tips are "burnt" Since I switched...

    Fragging Montipora Cap

    I'm buying a large monti cap from another hobbyist that has spread across a large rock. It is too large for my tank, so I intend to frag it and share it with some friends. I have a Rotozip with a cutoff wheel and it was suggested to me that I cut through the back of the rock, then chisel the...

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    Just an update. I have a nice diatom bloom on the starboard. I'll do some serious siphoning tomorrow. I picked up a couple of more sps colonies at PA today. The following pics are two pieces I bought from a local reefer followed by one I bought from PA. We think it's a sarmentose (sp?)...

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    purple-polyped birdsnest A friend has to take down his tank, so I went by and bought some of his livestock. The first pic is a purple-polyped pink birdsnest, the second is a close up of the polyps. The pic isn't very clear, but they are really purple. I also got a neon green cap--this came...

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    The Copperband is eating well and he's quickly learned that I'm the food source. He went into the tank Sunday night and by Wednesday he was coming to the glass to see me whenever I approached the tank. I've always wanted one because of the look, but if he turns out to have a great personality...

    Hooked's 90 Tank Rebuild

    I turned the Tunzes off with the food timer and fed the fish. When they kicked back on, the food they had missed was blown into the water column and they ate it. Very happy with the Tunzes. I also bought some new livestock recently. Here are pics.
