    Me, Myself, & Sherman too.

    Well when you put the fish in the qt tank that is an acclimation right there! and so why another accliation ?? But why when the first one is the crutial one to my thinking as the water in the bag will be a different oxygen and Ph than any good watyer and thus needs a slow drip acclimation! So...

    I use a diy Calcium reactor for a sulfur denitrator it has a 1-2 drops per second output. It is filled with midwest aquatics High Purity Sulfuer pearls then a sponge then Arm Media. I tested it a long time ago and the tank water was higher than the effluent ! Knowing it worked I just leave...

Generally for better traffic flow going to work north of you and going home south of work Might be better for you :-) Let us know Where you...

    Red Brush Algae

    I have seen an emerald pick at looser green algae but I think it's a toss up. Some crabs will eat this but then those same crabs could endanger your corals and or small fish so---- The best compromise I know of is either a sally light foot or emerald crabs but that may vary a bit from one to...

    Me, Myself, & Sherman too.

    How do you acclimate for day's ?? Maybe match the salinity it came in and drip more salt slowly rising the salinity? But then the differnt salt's etc would also be a shock right? The only kind of aclimation I know of is drip ! Now usually fish come with only enoughp water to survive in for...

    bryopsis help please.

    I can't see how kent marine tech would be better at killing the bryopsis and do not believe it is. It would cost a fortune to use this with a large tank as well !! The results you speak of can happen with out any elevated levels at all. I would not recommend going as High as 2300 ppm. Going...

    i think i'm nuts :D

    I asked a vet about foods and he told me some of the more expensive ones have things they can't use or digest well but they love the taste. He told me to get some common food like purina dog chow as it is quite good for him! So you might want to ask the vet the low down on different foods and...

    help with kalk dripper

    People drip Kalk usually because they are running a calcium reactor and are experiencing constantly lower levels of PH like 7.9 sometimes lower. They drip kalk or use it with there auto water top off to bump it to more normal levels. If you have a calibrated PH probe and this is your condition...

    long tent anemone wont burrow

    I first nugged mine into place by creating a cliff and a hole in a rock near the top. Once slowly/jently shoved there it anchored and never left. Before this it did dumb things like hang out Underneath a ledge where it would get little to no light which was bad and it did not want to move on...

    ozone reactor ??

    "One can make a simple home made reactor that can work pretty well, consisting of 2 very long coils of ozone proof plastic tubing. One for the ozonated water and one for post ozonated water filled with carbon to remove any OTO's generated by the ozone before it enters the tank." I saw someone...
