    White Water

    No, no socks. The water just turned, at the same time my brown algae cleared up. I am guessing (TOTAL GUESS) that i now have a diffeent, water-bourne, algae bloom. I just wanted some other opinions. Also, I forgot to say that my test all show zero for bad stuff and normal for all other...

    White Water

    The tank is 100 Gallons and the sump is 55 gallons. I realize that in the "popular mindset" the no water changes, and skimming, and filtering is a bab no-no and that you "can't possibly keep a successful tank" that way. I ran a very successful reef tank for over 2 years that way, before I sold...

    White Water

    Hi. I see another post about cloudy water, not sure if it's the same issue, but thought I'd ask. My sump has been going for about 1 1/2 months. My main tank has been going for 2 1/2 weeks. I just cleared the "brown all over everything" stage, and now my water is milky white. I just put some...

    quality of fish

    I've bought from petco with pretty good results, however I never buy a fish that looks sick and if the ones in the same tank look sick, I don't buy anything from that tank (or bank of tanks if it's on the same filtration system). Our local petco fish dept manager is pretty knowledgable, and he...

    UIC - UnIdentified Coral

    It is a hard coral of some type. I am familiar with zoas and anemones. This has a hard coral skeloton that looks like a tree stump. When irritated, the fleshy part retracts into the stump and it looks like a dead piece of coral. I'll see if I can get another pic after work today.

    UIC - UnIdentified Coral

    Here is a pic of a coral that came on a chuck of live rock rubble. The picture is unclear. It was too far away to get a good shot. A basic description: It has a hard column shaped base (There are actually 3 close together) The center (mouth) is lime green and the tentacles (polyps) are clear. It...

    If it is a walmart 10 gallon, they are tempered. I tried to take one apart and cut the peices, it shattered when cutting. HTH

    wrasse ID please?

    No idea, but I read that a reefer got his cleaner wrasse to eat by puting in finely chopped beef/hamburger. Maybe the smell or something. I never tried it, I don't think having one is a good idea either. But since he has one, maybe it would work, maybe not. Just passing on info. (Wish I...

    snails/hermits how many

    I have heard a few different "rules", but I go with 100% snails and 50% hermits (So about 125 snails to 63 hermits). I like the blue leg reef hermits myself, and I found a great seller on ebay that will sell you 150 snails for about $20 including shipping. Never tried a sand sifting star. HTH
