    A refugium question

    I know that, but their marketing ploy is aimed at all the macro life, esp. in the garf grunge plus, they have pictures showing brittle stars, copepods, worms, etc. There was nothing. It was nothing but dead rubble. Worthless IMHO.

    A refugium question

    I tried garf Grunge and do not recommend it, I did not see any life in it.

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    that is a great suggestions, but unfortunately the tank has no lip. I guess I could place it on live rock? Would be hard to get level and my level control is not the best, large ball valves. I have a large piece that I placed on top, but it fogged up really bad that it took over 2 hrs to dry off...

    Appetite for Cyclopeeze

    That is good, I will try that. Do you need to give it some time to absorb the water? Rehydrate? thanks,

    Live rock question

    Yes, I agree on the tap water, even being a liberal reefer and all. Plus I treat live rock the same as I would treat a fish. Keep it under water all the time and only put it in your tank if the temperature, salinitiy etc. is correct. You do not want to put you rock in fresh water and then add...

    Live rock question

    Just a word of caution, i am what would be considered a liberal reefer, I don't worry to much about the details and figure that the system can take care of itself as long as you keep the parameters in check. Other, more conservative reefers may suggest that you bleach, boil, scrub, acid wash...

    Clear Cover of Tanks

    I want to put a clear cover over my tanks to reduce evaporation and keep the heat contained. I have some pieces of plexiglass available, but my question is whether or not this is suitable and if it would block the UV? Would I be better off with glass? I would think anything would block at least...

    Appetite for Cyclopeeze

    The problem is that I live in Bellingham and do not have it available in the area. The freeze dried stuff did not apepar to get any reaction from my corals :(

    Live rock question

    I bought some live rock with algae for $2 per pound myself and did not have any issues. The algae was coarse, green turf like stuff and not too bad. My Emerald Crabs are making quick work of removing it all. They are very efficient I find and removing any hair type algae.

    Appetite for Cyclopeeze

    what about the freeze dried stuff? Does this work as well? I can't find it frozen locally and the cost to ship frozen food is extreme. thanks,

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    Yes, I have thought about what would happen in the lass of power. I bought a generator on CR for $25 but it doen't run yet. Working on that. I have heaters in each tank so If one were to fail I should still be OK.

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    Would you recommend that I cover the entire surface of the clam tank with a piece of glass? It is about 4' x 3'. ANd yes, I wrapped to reduce heat loss. This basement is only slighly warmer than ambient and it has gotten near freezing down there already.

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    I am cursed with a huge amount of space in my unfinished, dirt floor basement. I now have 5 tanks. I picked up the main tank this weekend for upstairs, a beautiful 100 gallon corner tank. Off CR in Seattle. I obtained a lot of live stock and live rock with deal, so I have a large quarantine...

    Appetite for Cyclopeeze

    wow, that is cool. how much cyclopeeze do you feed? And is it the dehydrated power that you use or flakes? Do you just dump it in? thanks,

    Deep Mud Bed Retention refugium

    I have a bunch of crushed coral sand, basically the same as the packaged live sand but outside in a tub, got it from some guy tearing down his tank for free. I just want what is best. Do you think that a thin mud bed topped with a Deep Sand Bed would be the way to go?

    Deep Mud Bed Retention refugium

    Come on! i need some advice. I am going ahead with setting this up. I may go with a deep sand bed or a deep mud bed. I do not want to buy the expensive miracle mud so will cheap, clay kitty litter work? Any downside to this. If there is a downside to the kitty litter I will just use some of the...
